I'm not trying to make up excuses, I'm very proud of how far this Colombian team has gotten, after all this is the first game we lose, but one that counted a million times more than the others.
ok man........doesnt count when u put the subs and reserves. lol
God.....I was talking about starting lineup.
If I had a list for Uruguay (the way you did it)....it would go on for 30 pages,
So in reality....ur missing Cordoba, Angel (Perea is .....well....ill give u that one i guess).... Your goalie now is Henao (strong prob in qualifyers im saying)
Wait.......u might be missing 4 players.......not sure.
But u guys are acting as if the guys who replaced ur 4 players are like playing in 4rth Division Pakistan or something.
Their good players. Its like replacing Crespo with Dalesandro .
see...their good.
All i was trying to say is that we all went with the best possible teams to Copa America (cause many went on vacations) .we shouldnt start on the "B" crap everytime we each lose.
And I understand the ppl who get pissed too when some go "Oh.....well Ur team is TECHNICALLY the "A-" team........and were the ..........1/2 B team..........so if we lose by less than 2 ......you suck"
I saw that alot here.
But man.....I understand tho why some do that. Its just a way to try to stop the embarasment or something by convincing the world that u just didnt get owned. But dont think i was talking about just Colombia man (we do it too). It just happened to be on this thread that i mentioned it.
I just hope that the next Copa America nations go with their "A" teams so there can be no more exuses.
Whatever. Argentina won and they played amazingly.
Good luck to Colombia in future.....some of my best friends are colombian.
