Salpigidis should get a yellow once play stops.

Colombia has won my heart. James Rodriguez and Manolas have stood out for me.

I love the Columbian fans at this wc.

Seeing that sea of yellow and such passionate fans is what the cup is all about. Awesome.

Columbia doesn't look very good. Nerves probably.

Greece isn't going to come back from 2-0. It's over.

No more goals please

I love these South American teams like Colombia and Chile. They play attacking football and look to outscore teams such a nice change from defensive minded teams. Today COLvsGRE game was a huge contrast in styles and i am so glad the world cup is going offensive right now. Being Brazil with the home fans certainly helps as well.

Colombia didn't do anything unexpected. would have been 5 goals if falcao was playing.

Colombia back line looks a but shaky but offense didn't even look 100% so they can probably out score most teams. Doesn't matter if Falcao is out because Rodriguez makes game changing passes and also great on set pieces. This team has beaten or played with all the South American powerhouses and beaten quality European teams in Europe. Now with their fan base and weather conditions on South American soil they have one of the best advantages. Perkerman is a great coach for that young team too. They'll be better prepared for the humid weather than any team (Caribbean Colombia has some of the worst heat/humidity of the teams in the cup and they have a rabid fan base representing. This team can go very far.
