    Colombia World Cup 94 tragedy

    Not too sure if anyone remember this incident. 20 years ago, Colombia were 1 of the favs for the WC after going through the qualifiers undefeated and also defeated Maradona's Argentina 5-0 in Buenos Aires on their way.

    Things didn't go well after they went to the World Cup. They finished bottom in a relatively easy group. Andres Escobar scored an own goal in the 2-1 defeat to USA. He was later killed a month later because of it.



    This year, they are heading the the World Cup as 1 of the favs again. Hopefully the same tragedy won't happen again.

    Amazing doco alright, really sad ending he seemed an incredibly nice guy.

    That 5-0 drubbing of Argentina was probably one of the greatest footballing performances of all time, to be given a standing ovation down there is quite special.

    Falcao isn't playing. I don't think the expectations are that high.

    I'm calling it right now either Chile or Columbia knock off Brazil.

    Too much pressure on Neymar

    Because Neymar is their only good player?

    No. They have probably the most stacked team + HFA. Their only weakness is Fred, but hes a very solid striker.
