This Colombia team has everything to win the World Cup. I think Yaser, and not Serna, made enough impact to get the World Cup birth nod.
clamdiggin1211 hours ago
Both teams can feel frustrated for not winning the match. Disallowed goal for Canada was marginally offside, and Colombia had a few really clear cut chances that they couldn’t put away.
Canada will probably be the happier team keeping a clean sheet against a highly ranked team. But some real lack of quality in the final third for both teams.
albyalbyson👤110 hours ago
Marginally offside means nothing. You’re either on or you’re not, and he was not on.
wishesandhopes👤110 hours ago
The goal scorer was on, as was the player who assisted him. It was a centimeter offside in the build up. I agree, it was offside and shouldn’t be counted, but if shaffelburg was a few cms back he still wins that header, and everything else was on, so the actual assist and goal were just as difficult as they’d have been had he been on.

if anything, Schaffelburg was the man offside, right before passing the ball to David

Terrible game to watch but we gained lots of intel on players fighting for a spot in the World Cup squad. Yaser clearly has different quality compared to players like serna or campaz. Cucho threw away yet another opportunity. Roman is third choice and behind santi arias. Not the best game but much more useful than the cakewalk the Mexico game was.

Shows the depth when Canada made subs the field started to tilt. Shaffelburg and Bassong, both making important mistakes late, but honestly well played game overall.
Canada could have had a penalty, and unlucky to be just a fraction offside on the David strike.
Colombia could have had a couple, with 2-3 close calls.

Can’t judge what happens 8 months from now from just these past two games. Yes, Castaño looked better these two games, but we have to see who is better in the moment when it actually matters. No doubt that both Rios and Castaño will be in the squad for June 26, unless except for injury, of course. Borre/Cordoba on the other hand are lucky that we currently lack a consistent no 9. I think it will depend on who is most in form with their club. I’m willing to bet it will be Luis Suarez, Cordoba, and Cucho/Borre. All 3 different profiles where Lorenzo can use tactically and adjust depending on opponents.

football1078👤211 hours ago
I disagree with your last statement. We were playing with subs for most of the match. First half was pretty bad, but the second half showed that there’s a big difference between our first team and our “B” team.
roguedevil🇨🇴211 hours ago
Outside of CF, we have a pretty well defined starting 11 and the quality nosedives quickly afterwards. Any injury or lack of form to any starters players and we are clueless. In these friendlies, you want to see players like Cucho, Serna, Castaño, Campaz, and Portilla give everything for the shirt. I have faith in the starters, but I don’t want to rely on James too much. I want Lorenzo to use Yaser a bit more from the start, but I understand Yaser also has to earn that spot at club level.
football1078👤111 hours ago
I agree. I’ve been wondering for a couple of years now how we will fare once James is gone. We rely too much on him and our overall quality tends to drop a lot when he is not on the field.
We got some good talented players but we need to start adapting them to a system that doesn’t rely on a static “10” for our attacking needs. With that being said, once some of our big names began associating in the final third, we really started to breakdown Canada’s block. We got the quality, it’s just that we need to learn how to play without James.
jimmytimmy23456👤911 hours ago
Honestly it is just a different profile. Canada’s team is super athletic and can press the hell out of you. We also have some quality now whereas a few years ago our starting 11 was still mostly MLS guys.
Mexico doesn’t have a lot of speed and for absolutely cooked in translation by Colombian wingers.
The best way to beat Canada is just to let us have the ball. We lack creativity and we play better in games where we have 35-40% possession than 60+%
football1078👤611 hours ago
Yeah, I agree. Canada is a very well-conditioned team. Good defensive discipline as well. Not a lot of football but the athleticism makes up for a number of deficiencies, especially on the counter and defending.
Colombia began taking over once the big names began to associate up front. Lorenzo took a while to introduce some of the heavyweights, but that’s okay since we mainly used this game to give the younger/newer guys some minutes. I think you add 10 more mins to that game and the scoreline would’ve been 2-0 Colombia.
omgshutupalready👤511 hours ago
We finally have a decent talent pool that’s playing at an alright level, some at a very high one. But we’re not miles off of Mexico or the US in terms of talent. It’s more that these players have been playing together for about 6 years now and know each other very well, combined with finally finding a system of heavy press that really suits our strengths. The gap in technical skill between Colombian players and Canadian players is clear, we are just very athletic and organised tactically, which I think can give us an outside shot at anyone with some luck, even with that mismatched talent
inthezoneautozone12511 hours ago
I thought Mexico pressed somewhat well. We gave the ball away a lot due to pressure. However they offered no threat going forward and their defense was abysmal.

We gave the ball away because Ditta and Angulo aren’t good on the ball. They also didn’t press the midfield, just the backline and left a huge gap for James to move forward.

I want to see the team improve and be threatening even without James. If we can’t play balls into space and trust our forwards to get there, then they need to be up for battle and hold it with their backs to goals. Today, they did neither.
TellTaleTimes111 hours ago
They’ve done both in the three previous games. This friendly was to test out fringe players (Portillo, Cucho, Yaser, Serna, Roman, Campaz), it wasn’t as full strength as Mexico. Canada did a good job at disrupting play. It’s like when Real Madrid plays a scrappy team that earns a 0-0 draw, a scrappy game. No need to be too critical of the coach and team, it’s a friendly after all.
roguedevil🇨🇴211 hours ago
My initial comment wasn’t even critical of Colombia, but praising Canada.
I just don’t think you can throw out a subpar performance just because “they fouled a lot”. You have to learn from every match, and we learned some of those players you listed are not good enough for the shirt.

4th choice forward who then was replaced by a no-choice forward.
Add Rios having his worst game for the NT ever for some reason (guess better here than in the world cup)
Then
Diaz was replaced by the 3rd (possible 2nd?) choice winger.
The only first choice starters were the 2 centre backs, the left wingback, and Diaz.

This referee is so trash. Colombia could have had 3 yellows by now
I’m happy to get the draw here against a generally better team
This Colombia team has everything to win the World Cup. I think Yaser, and not Serna, made enough impact to get the World Cup birth nod.
Both teams can feel frustrated for not winning the match. Disallowed goal for Canada was marginally offside, and Colombia had a few really clear cut chances that they couldn’t put away.
Canada will probably be the happier team keeping a clean sheet against a highly ranked team. But some real lack of quality in the final third for both teams.
Marginally offside means nothing. You’re either on or you’re not, and he was not on.
The goal scorer was on, as was the player who assisted him. It was a centimeter offside in the build up. I agree, it was offside and shouldn’t be counted, but if shaffelburg was a few cms back he still wins that header, and everything else was on, so the actual assist and goal were just as difficult as they’d have been had he been on.
if anything, Schaffelburg was the man offside, right before passing the ball to David
Did the ball come off the Colombian defender or was it Shaf that headed it to David?
Richard Ríos hijueputa aprendé a ser consistente pedazo de mojón con agua!!!
Román soso, insulso , sin nanda que mostrar.
Típico de lo erré, como te comés eso careberga!!!
Cucho , lo siento , sos un gran jugador pero hacete exorcizar por que estás poseído por el espíritu de Duvan Zapata . Llamen a Neyser Villareal y no jodamos mas por ahí con el tercer delantero.
Serna muy insulso también
Davinson bacan , Lucimi bacan,Portilla bien.
Buen partido de Yaser y de Montero.
Lorenzo avispese con los cambios rápidos viejo .
Los dos equipos son pésimos.
Neiser es bueno pero no have goles con equipos professionales por lo menos 5 goles necesita en brasil
Need to put it together going forward more, but I’m very encouraged that we can pull off a heavy press against a team like Colombia and not get shredded at the back
We could have won this game by 2⁄3 goals. I’m not mad about it though.
Lorenzo clearly didn’t care about the scoreline but rather to try all these new guys out. Asprilla was pretty impressive overall, I might say.
Once the big names started coming out, you could see the shift in momentum clearly go towards Colombia. Okay game overall.
You guys spanked Mexico so you’re happy about that, right?
Sure. Mexico is a much different team than Canada though.
Terrible game to watch but we gained lots of intel on players fighting for a spot in the World Cup squad. Yaser clearly has different quality compared to players like serna or campaz. Cucho threw away yet another opportunity. Roman is third choice and behind santi arias. Not the best game but much more useful than the cakewalk the Mexico game was.
Colombia so lost and Canada has such boring football this match was a travesty. I hope the Mexico v Ecuador game has some excitement at least.
It’s a friendly game for a reason. Colombia played with a bunch of ‘B’ and ‘C’ team players. Not to defend the performance, but yeah, it shows there’s a massive difference between our starting 11 and the rest of the guys.
Much like the USA’s draw against Ecuador, Canada’s draw against Colombia is a nice result for them.
Very entertaining game, good result for Canada. The replays here in Canada looked like Canada’s goal was not offside.
It was in the buildup. Our winger came back from an offside position about a boot heel too late.
It was close but I think it was the right call. Shaff was offside.
What a horribly officiated match, both ways. Brutal.
Yeah, not impressed either way.
Shows the depth when Canada made subs the field started to tilt. Shaffelburg and Bassong, both making important mistakes late, but honestly well played game overall.
Canada could have had a penalty, and unlucky to be just a fraction offside on the David strike.
Colombia could have had a couple, with 2-3 close calls.
That shaffelburg fella was pretty good ngl
He’s got good moments for sure. Huge upside especially going forward, but he got lost defensively today and was directly responsible for a big chance Columbia got off his turnover and missed mark.
LDF is a baller
Get Rios and Roman off this fucking team. At least we know who we’re not taking to the WC
Don’t follow Colombia too closely, but glad (as a Canadian) Munoz was out for this game. He’s a real threat.
Rios on form is very good. He’s off of it but he starts for Benfica week in and week out. We just have to be patient that he gets out of his rut.
If Borre is still getting call ups you’re crazy if you think Rios is not making the world cup squad. Has he been shit for a while for sure, but is Lorenzo.
Borre got called up cause Cordoba was like a 15 hour flight away. I just hope Castaño fully takes Rios playing time, he looked way better
Can’t judge what happens 8 months from now from just these past two games. Yes, Castaño looked better these two games, but we have to see who is better in the moment when it actually matters. No doubt that both Rios and Castaño will be in the squad for June 26, unless except for injury, of course. Borre/Cordoba on the other hand are lucky that we currently lack a consistent no 9. I think it will depend on who is most in form with their club. I’m willing to bet it will be Luis Suarez, Cordoba, and Cucho/Borre. All 3 different profiles where Lorenzo can use tactically and adjust depending on opponents.
The only positive I take from this game is Yaser. He better make the final world cup team!
Will gladly take a draw with Colombia
You Canuks showed that you are top dog in concacaf. The team was very competitive and had a lot of guts , they didn’t stop their intensity once. Only at the end the game began to open to Colombia and even then we couldn’t beat you. Having lived in Montréal for a year I will always support you Tabernak (only making an exception when you play my country jeje)
They are the 3rd best team in North America
How cruel are the soccer gods to bless us with Falcao but never let him play in a WC In his prime and then curse us with mediocrity at the CF position for the next 30 years
No foul but that was def a save, should’ve gotten a corner kick
100%. That’s never a goal kick.
Yeah, we gotta work on that finishing man lmao
Debatable foul, obvious save and the GK calls a goal kick. I’m most mad at Borre and Roman though. How did they not score.
Borre is so garbage!
Roman LPM
Hope we see a full squad game between these two teams in the World Cup
Should’ve scored there
Our forwards are so shit
We had a couple of chances that we failed to capitalize on; Lucho’s and Yaser’s.
It’s just been such a stalemate so far besides that. Canada has a very well-conditioned squad and what they lack in football quality, they are making-up with athleticism, good pressing and overall defensive discipline.
speaking of pressing, Colombia gave the Canadian forwards little time on the ball today
That’s true. But also, I just didnt see a lot of attacking ideas from the Canadians - the main threat they provoked were from set pieces and a long-range strike by Buchanan in the first half.
WHERE IS THE COLOMBIAN YELLOW CARD
Who was worse today Roman or Rios. Very close.
If a Canadian goal was materialized through Roman then Roman, else Rios
Not Ríos day for sure, very mediocre to shit game from him today
Know what? Scratch that. Roman had it point blank for the win. Holy shit.
Colombia had such beautiful kits before. Who decided on these abominations should be fired
Much as I wanted that goal to count, he’s offside.
Good call from the AR. Tight, but likely off. Lack of VAR means we’ll never know for sure though.
Replay showed he was clearly off.
Looked off on the replay. I was adamant he was onside…until I saw the replay lol
I thought he was miles off at first, but then the replay showed it was tighter than I thought lol. Interesting how our bias affects our first impression.
So true
Rios sub came 40 minutes too late imo
Oof bad foul lol
Should be 1-0 Canada
How does that linesmen have that much confidence to call such a difficult offside that only VAR usually cathes
Fucken bullshit offside call, way to protect Colombia, corrupt bullshit, even in friendlies.
Turns out that it was offside…
The fuck you talking about? Was returning and had the leg offside
Cope a little harder, put your glasses on dude.
LMAO this guy doesn’t know what offside is
It WAS offside. Pretty sad when you call a good call corrupt…
??? It’s literally offside. Shows how much you know
[deleted]
You dont know ball holy
Canada could be the best team in Concacaf. They just need to win a Gold Cup or Nations League. They’re slightly better than Mexico and heads and shoulders above the abysmal Yanks.
The us beat Australia and Canada couldn’t. I don’t think the us is worse than Canada or Mexico.
Had a full team in Gold Cup and lost lol. USA fielded a B team squad and got farther. You guys aren’t good as you think
I’m not Canadian. I’m just an American who’s anti-US after Trump won.
Then you are pathetic. This has nothing to do with politics. Grow up and stop being so insufferable.
It’s crazy how much better this Canada team is to Mexico. Mexico looked physically unable to do anything, no press, no duels, and no pace. Canada is the exact opposite and it really shows how bad we are at breaking a team down.
I disagree with your last statement. We were playing with subs for most of the match. First half was pretty bad, but the second half showed that there’s a big difference between our first team and our “B” team.
Outside of CF, we have a pretty well defined starting 11 and the quality nosedives quickly afterwards. Any injury or lack of form to any starters players and we are clueless. In these friendlies, you want to see players like Cucho, Serna, Castaño, Campaz, and Portilla give everything for the shirt. I have faith in the starters, but I don’t want to rely on James too much. I want Lorenzo to use Yaser a bit more from the start, but I understand Yaser also has to earn that spot at club level.
I agree. I’ve been wondering for a couple of years now how we will fare once James is gone. We rely too much on him and our overall quality tends to drop a lot when he is not on the field.
We got some good talented players but we need to start adapting them to a system that doesn’t rely on a static “10” for our attacking needs. With that being said, once some of our big names began associating in the final third, we really started to breakdown Canada’s block. We got the quality, it’s just that we need to learn how to play without James.
Honestly it is just a different profile. Canada’s team is super athletic and can press the hell out of you. We also have some quality now whereas a few years ago our starting 11 was still mostly MLS guys.
Mexico doesn’t have a lot of speed and for absolutely cooked in translation by Colombian wingers.
The best way to beat Canada is just to let us have the ball. We lack creativity and we play better in games where we have 35-40% possession than 60+%
Yeah, I agree. Canada is a very well-conditioned team. Good defensive discipline as well. Not a lot of football but the athleticism makes up for a number of deficiencies, especially on the counter and defending.
Colombia began taking over once the big names began to associate up front. Lorenzo took a while to introduce some of the heavyweights, but that’s okay since we mainly used this game to give the younger/newer guys some minutes. I think you add 10 more mins to that game and the scoreline would’ve been 2-0 Colombia.
We finally have a decent talent pool that’s playing at an alright level, some at a very high one. But we’re not miles off of Mexico or the US in terms of talent. It’s more that these players have been playing together for about 6 years now and know each other very well, combined with finally finding a system of heavy press that really suits our strengths. The gap in technical skill between Colombian players and Canadian players is clear, we are just very athletic and organised tactically, which I think can give us an outside shot at anyone with some luck, even with that mismatched talent
I thought Mexico pressed somewhat well. We gave the ball away a lot due to pressure. However they offered no threat going forward and their defense was abysmal.
We gave the ball away because Ditta and Angulo aren’t good on the ball. They also didn’t press the midfield, just the backline and left a huge gap for James to move forward.
Were missing 3⁄4 of our starting backline right now too. Been pleasantly surprised with how connected they’ve looked.
They’re just fouling. No different than Paraguay.
They are still getting first to every ball and defending aerial duels much better. We have to learn to play all styles instead of coming up with excuses.
What’s the excuse? We play against this kind of soccer when playing Uruguay or Paraguay. Physically, inconsistent, ugly. We didn’t lose, they were never threatening offensively. You’re complaining to complain.
I want to see the team improve and be threatening even without James. If we can’t play balls into space and trust our forwards to get there, then they need to be up for battle and hold it with their backs to goals. Today, they did neither.
They’ve done both in the three previous games. This friendly was to test out fringe players (Portillo, Cucho, Yaser, Serna, Roman, Campaz), it wasn’t as full strength as Mexico. Canada did a good job at disrupting play. It’s like when Real Madrid plays a scrappy team that earns a 0-0 draw, a scrappy game. No need to be too critical of the coach and team, it’s a friendly after all.
My initial comment wasn’t even critical of Colombia, but praising Canada.
I just don’t think you can throw out a subpar performance just because “they fouled a lot”. You have to learn from every match, and we learned some of those players you listed are not good enough for the shirt.
Canada is probably the most improved country w/ a sizeable population. They’re closing the gap on Mexico and have already surpassed the US a long time ago.
They aren’t close to the us or Mexico
While I agree we have made strides and bounds let’s not kid ourselves if more of the US gave a shit about football they would be consistently making top 4 internationally and running both Mexico and Canada in CONCACAF matches…
Bruh you beat Mexico 4-0 and can’t even get more than one shot on target against Canada?!?
I mean, for this game Colombia started their:
3rd choice keeper
3rd choice right wingback
3rd choice center middifielder
2nd choice center midfielder who was replaced by the 2nd choice right winger
3rd choice attacking midfielder
4th choice forward who then was replaced by a no-choice forward.
Add Rios having his worst game for the NT ever for some reason (guess better here than in the world cup)
Then
Diaz was replaced by the 3rd (possible 2nd?) choice winger.
The only first choice starters were the 2 centre backs, the left wingback, and Diaz.
Of course this game wouldn’t be as good as Mexico’s with the team making so many experiments.
If you watched both games you’d tell Lorenzo was heavily experimenting this game.
Mexico is ass, just wanna start with that. And yeah, we are playing with a very different squad.
Way different squad
Also, way different motivation.
Mexico still thinks it is hot shit so friendlies don’t feel as important to them.
Canada still feels like it has a lot to prove and is playing like it.
Canada have been so much better than Mexico when they played Colombia. I can see Canada getting a point, or not losing badly like 4-0. haha
Stupid foul
Dude Rios is throwing this game. No other explanation
Yaser Asprilla. We can’t have this kid as a third option.
Huh. I forgot that Diaz and Eustaquio were teammates.
Decent changes. Canada is too pacey for Lucho to really shine here. I’d like to see us play possession and take more control of the ball.
Se viene Rafael Santos lo Erre…
Y lo erré dijo el hijueputa …. yo creo que el man tienen una foto de Lorenzo con la moza por que no veo otra explicación para que el man esté ahí.
Yaser!!!!
I see “Borré” I cry
Agreed, I thought we’d be done with him already, but no he’s back … Hopefully only temporarily
Our #9 woes continue
We look better with James already. Jamesdependencia.
I won’t be surprised to see him still feature in WC 2030
And the scares the shit out of me
Luchito must be crying inside lmao so fucking close. Cleaned the base of that post.
Luis Díaz… why my friend
Holy fuck what a shite game
Dreadful as a canadian absolutely dreadful football lol. Canada is super thin few guys out there rn way behind in quality. Colombia though has no excuse theyve been shocking as well.
Lorenzo is trying out all kinds of weird stuff this game. It’s interesting cause whilst Canada doesn’t really present much of a threat in the attack, they’ve been able to outpace and shut down a decent amount of our passing game. It’s been a stalemate so far.
Yeah final third has been absolutely terriblel from both sides but canada has been working hard for sure!
Roman is also not doing shit and left alone a striker geez
Colombia needs to play Football. We can’t hope to outpace a team like Canada. Long balls are not gonna do it.
Is Cucho that clumsy, or are Canadian players just diving at him all the time?
Seems every time he tries to challenge a defender he ends up making a foul
He’s that clumsy. Needs to dial it down a notch
Yeah, the game is about to open up with James on the field. Interesting to see how Canada adapts.
Wtf was that free kick
If they were going for that, Quintero was not the optional choice lmao
Typical Quintero trickery. Did the same vs Japan in the 2018 WC and scored.
23 combined fouls and 1 combined shot in the first half is a hilarious statline
What a letdown from Cucho after finally getting his start for the national team. I guess part of that is this dysfunctional midfield, especially Rios who forgot how to even play football. As for Campaz, even a brick will bounce off his feet
Tbf, there’s not been a lot for him to do. Now that James is in, we’ll see if we can get more balls up there to the final third.
Campaz hasn’t played bad
I know it’s a friendly but my god I wish Alphonso Davies and bombito were both healthy. They would add so much reassurance at the back and even more speed to this game
This game is single-handedly destroying international relations between Canadians and Colombians
Nah, love Colombians and all teams have fans that let themselves get riled up. I will say, there’s less “why are ur players black” and editing their wikipedia pages from your fans compared to *some* other SA teams…not pointin any fingers
Nah we chill boss.
We still love you guys regardless. Can’t hate the nation that give us Sofía Vergara.
But I can hate the nation that gave us Lance Stroll!
And I know we love Canadians all the way lol there’s no rivalry here after the 90 minutes
Lol it’s so intense but I kinda like that. Not every game is going to be like the Mexico game. We are going to have games like this so we better be ready.
Colombia’s midfield has been lacking. Can’t connect and always get dispossessed.
Bad game from Rios. Lucky we didn’t concede from that challenge he went down too easily.
I don’t think Nestor Lorenzo did his match preparation for this one. Very weird formation and squad. Jesse Marsch team is gonna pack the middle, press, and be physical.
The team he selected are not good enough passers to get out of the midfield block.
Experimenting is fine but that midfield is atrocious. Lucho is no captain and he’s also had to go to midfield a lot
Canada has a very athletic game but they provide next to nothing when in possession of the ball.
Colombia does well in the build-up, but can’t get it to connect in the last third. Getting outpaced when they’re on the attack.
Boring first 45’. I think 23 fouls so far?
No clue how Colombia are escaping cards
We have a lot of practice at that, sadly. Canada is not at CONMEBOL levels of shithousing
100% agree. CONMEBOL games often play out like this.
What canada lacks in skill they make up in speed, damn. Did y’all bring 11 track stars to play?
Both of our fastest players are hurt too lol. Davies and Bombito.
Absolutely horrendous refereeing so far
Ojala Lorenzo saque a Lucho y Richard de la cancha porq a este paso esos canadienses los van a lesionar
A Richard lo tienen que sacar pero no por eso
entre que no esta jugando bien, esta metiendo unas faltas estupidas, y los otros estan jugando a lesionar, hay que sacarlo si o si
Did the ref only give 1min of the 3 lol
Nah, whoever is doing the graphics messed up and restarted the timer or something.
Coma inducing match
Get Rios and cucho off this fucking field
Yeah sit Rios the fuck down. Cucho I’m on the fence cause not much he can do if the ball gets lost in the kerfuffle in the middle of the pitch
Something better will happen early in the second half otherwise I’m not staying until almost 11 for this game
Slide tackle from behind. Clips the heel on the player breaking away, no yellow.
Punted the ball. Didn’t touch the player. It’s as clean as it gets in that scenario lol
If he calls it as a foul, he has to make it a yellow, though.
This guy’s yellow card judging has been all over the place.
Ah yeah, fair enough. It was not foul but if the ref thought it was then that only leaves the ankle kick as an option which would be a yellow.
Terrible ref all around
Hahaha doesn’t even touch him and they call a foul
Ref was good for a solid 15 minutes. After Richard dove it went off the rails. What shit game holy crap.
All ball
lol all they know how to do is foul
Sorry bud, we’re still learning how to play sports other than beer league hockey
Canada is playing like they’re in the World Cup final. Maybe ease off on the fouling a bit? It’s a friendly geez
Why does it matter it’s a friendly? You go out to play. If Colombia went to sleep doesn’t mean Canada can’t give its all
Is that Canada’s all? Because I’m not impressed in the slightest
These are the only competitive games we have until the wc. Have to treat it like one.
Fair enough.
Canada think its hockey
Jesus Canada came to kill and injure
[deleted]
Bruv, they’ve been fouling like crazy. Theres only been a couple of blatant dives. Wtf are you on about
That’s cause it’s a friendly and they weren’t expecting Canada to come in to kill on every single ball 😂
deadass
This referee is so trash. Colombia could have had 3 yellows by now
