Pre-match: 2024 Friendly: Colombia vs. Bolivia (6/15/24, Saturday - 5:00 PM EST)

It will be very interesting to see how the team comes out and which players will start.
I want to see some major experiments and a whole new lineup but not sure that will happen.

 

I expect 18-0 or will be booing in the stadium

on a serious note rather we try our subs and try alternatives maybe 2 guys up top but at least playing without James, Diaz, Arias to see if this team goes back to being Rueda level of shit. A more offensive team should be used since Bolivia is so fking bad

--------------------------Ospina(1st half)/Montero)2nd-------------------------------
Arias-----------------Mosquera-------------Cuesta-----------------Machado
------------------Castano------------------Rios--------------------
Arias/Carrascal -----------------------Yaser--------------------------------James/Sinisterria
------------------------Duran-----------------------------------

or 4-2-2-2
--------------------------Ospina(1st half)/Montero)2nd-------------------------------
Arias-----------------Mosquera-------------Cuesta-----------------Machado
------------------Castano------------------Rios--------------------
Yaser-----------------------------------------------Sinisterria
-------------Cordoba/Duran-----------Borja

Rest Diaz

If Yaser doesnt play well then dont bring him since seems Quintero and Carrascal are ahead of him we dont need 4 #10s


Duran starts then Cordoba/Borja get minutes in the 2nd half

Cut from the 26 will be Gomez(sorry Uribe won't get cut he played well vs US) and Yaser or a Striker

2nd half Mosquera comes in as sub if Mina starts

 

Think Bolivia will give us a better fight?

If we beat them worse than the US, they'll feel a lot better lol.

 

no they aren't really a team that has any good players or anything to play for. They want to not be in last place of their joke group or at least score a goal.

they are cup tying a bunch of foreign players..... like Venezuela is. Tho I dont see it working out the same way.

 

Nah

 

I say the starters play 45 mins and then we see like 8 subs lol

 

perfect game for JFQ to start along side Yaser. Throw Mina in the mix as well.

 

Yerry against these little guys? Lol

 

start with our A team and then sub

 

Lets keep an eye out on our wingers as i feel like when the US attacked us we became vulnerable.

the goal was on Mujica’s side and he is late in challenging Weah before the shot

 

hattrick hero. We better score every corner or indirect free kick if Yerry is out there

team is still training in DC. Wonder when they are coming down to CT. In all honesty not many Hotels in that area for a NT. Like when we bring down executives from my company they stay like 20-30 minutes out so wonder if that is why they aren't here yet. I am going to be scouting all the Colombian spots around time to see if they go there. I remember meeting Yepes and Ivan Cordoba in NYC at a Colombian restaurant when I was in High School was awesome. Tho Cordoba was shockingly small for a CB.

 

Cordoba is 5'7. Started off as a fullback

 

I think Diaz needs some rest. It's been non-stop for him. Same for James. No need for more from him we know waht we can get. Rest Lucumi, Munoz and Lerma. Other than that I just hope Ospina is our #3 and he plays Montero to give him serious minutes.

 

he didnt know it was impossible, so he did it

 

I agree but James not being active due to lack of matches at his club he NEEDS the fitness journey.

 

can’t wait wish I knew where they were staying my nephews would die if they got to see them and get stuff signed

 

to hartford, ct? No closest would be Foxwoods but they don’t have Colombia stuff

nyc does. I don’t think Boston would those are both 2+ hours away

 

Sounds like Uribe is injured and may not start the Copa
