Colombian defenders more grabby than the drunk uncle at a Christmas party. Getting away with it too.

Don't you just hate it when players are so clueless when it comes to beating the offside trap?

CIV offense is like a bad version of the 2000s Sixers with Iverson, with Gervinho going 1 on 5 while everybody else just hopes for a tap in.

I agree he should be but this could be the second game in a row where they get to keep him rested and still get a win

Is there a reason Gutierrez is playing instead of Martinez?

Martinez has been great for Porto but can't ever seem to click with the national team. Anything would be better than what Teo gave them in the 1st half.

Yaya launches the slowest counter in the history of the game. At least he got a FK.

Cuadrado is such a boss.

Quintero in for Ibarbo.
