World Cup 2022

[soul24rage]

To be fair, could not gauge their strength fully but for me there was a clear turning point I think during qualification games before the Copa. Saw a rejuvenated hard-working team, lot of movement with players with winning mentality going extra mile and supporting each other. In the beginning that would last one half, but over time they were able to go deeper into the game maintaining that high work-rate.

Very very true.

For me, I noticed that Scaloni's blueprint of hard working efforts during the friendly matches vs Brazil and Uruguay back in 2019. That was the turning point for me, but the quality of the defense still worried me a lot.

Now, the team looks more solid than ever and I've never seen an Arg NT that united than ever before since I first saw them in 2006. Excited to see how far this team can go.

What happened to Colombia NT guys?
Very disappointing qualification campaign, and it looks they will lose out.
DESPITE all the abundant talent in their ranks

Yeah, everyone talks about the goal vs Uruguay and rightly so, but for me I loved the goal vs Japan and it's a little underrated imo.

Something even Messi would be proud of.

few things
1- coach simply doesnt suit us.
2- there is a lot of public pressure to include james and falcao in squads, even though they are well past it. falcao less so than james
3- complacency

Reinaldo Rueda. very unpopular in colombia where many want him sacked yesterday.

peckerman is the best coach colombia has ever had, and probably the most beloved too. he was made an honorary colombian citizen following the 2014 world cup. his last couple of years were not great but were still better than what we are dealing with now
