Joao showed class in front of goal, but his main problem is attitude and selfishness. I hope he gets it together since he's only 18

Bad weekend for the cafeteros. Apart from Jackson, and the U20 squad, not much going on. Guarin had a goal and an assist for Inter.

Falcao missed a gimmie today. Bacca didn't score. James is hurt. Poor weekend.

The draw for the U20 world cup was today. Colombia got Qatar, Portugal, and E. Guinea.

Pretty easy tbh.

Slow week. Falcao continues to struggle, Cuadrado did fairly well on his first start, Bacca scored today in Sevilla's 3-0 win over Cordoba, James still hurt, Jackson is as always rumored to go to the EPL, and Ospina still retains his starting spot.

In sadder news, looks like we'll waste our March friendly playing Saudi Arabia in Saudi Arabia.

Things looking better today. Guarin scored a couple of goals and had an assist and earned himself a rating of 10.0 in whoscored.com. Also Muriel scored for the first time in forever. Even Elkin Soto got a goal yesterday lol.

Guarin had a great game today. Had fun watching the INTER/ATALANTA game.

The guy is so talented, but so inconsistent and undisciplined. It's frustrating

I don't like Mancini one bit, but he's really getting the best out of Guarin. He's in the form of his life

Guarin is up and down player....

Colombia needs to get a true striker, James and Cuadrado as well as Quintero would benefit it so much....

Damn, I miss the young Rodallega...

Garbage. Tello was actually very solid today, Jarlan was great, and Montero looks like another promising keeper.

Montero reminds me of Mondragon in looks and a young physique.

Guaro is not a striker though. He's more of a box to box guy, usually works best in a line of 3. He's indeed inconsistent, but he's been good this season, especially in 2015. Thinking Mancini is a good coach for him.

Strikers is what we have. Bacca, Jackson, Falcao (if he recovers his form), Teo, Duvan Zapata, and some other up and comers.

Yeah, beautiful assist. The dude is so good.

Good weekend for Los cafeteros. Ospina was solid for Arsenal and kept a clean sheet, good game from Guarin, 2 assists by Jackson, goal from Izquierdo in Belgium, Falcao earned an important PK, and Cuadrado got some silverware for being part if Chelsea.

Muriel seems to be doing better after his move. 2 goals in 2 games. Hope he can keep it up and live up to his potential, or at least 75% of it

Muriel with an assist yesterday. The move seems to have rejuvenated him.

Cardona is beasting in Mexico. Dude can be such a weapon when he's on.

Yeah I read, crap news. He was in such great form. Luckily it's not long so he should be back for the crunch part of the season. Porto needed him for that CL game though.

Bacca with a couple yesterday. He and Gameiro are awesome, I don't understand why their coach plays them together.

Izquierdo keeps shining in Belgium. I think that this Belgium team could become a good destination for Colombians. They can adjust to European football, gain form, adjust to European life style, and get ready for a bigger club. It worked for Bacca.
