Balanta

It was for the best and I'm glad his inclusion wasn't forced. Bacca and Teo to step up in his place :bow:

Still a really good Colombia squad, that. Plenty dangerous.

by B-Mac Tue Jun 03, 2014 3:26 am

can't Ibarbo play CF as well?

by Forza Tue Jun 03, 2014 3:31 am

Decent squad. Shame about Falcao.

by Kick Tue Jun 03, 2014 3:35 am

Wow, still a strong attack there.

What about Jackson Martinez and Adrian Ramos? The attack does look good but Falcao is a superstar who steps up in the big games and thus his loss cannot be understated.
