The boy from Bolivia shows Colombia the way 1:38pm on 13 Oct 2008 I watched the Colombia match against Paraguay. The home side had an excellent defence and only only a stroke of genius from Salvador Cabañas prevented them having a clean sheet.
The midfield including Porto's Freddy Guarín toiled tirelessly but the problem up front was the drought of goals.
The absence of quality wide players meant that Colombia were confined to hopeful long range shots by a a resolute Paraguayan defence.
The Colombians now have the worst scoring record in the qualification matches to date. With the next tie away to Brazil, it is unlikely that will change.
However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel with the emergence of young talent such as 21-year-old Carlos Quintero who has returned to his home soilfrom a year in Russia.
Let's hope he can lead Colombia through a successful second half of the qualifiers and put to bed finally the assumption that Valderama's team of almost twenty years ago was a flash in the pan in the annals of Colombian football.
Ramos facing Titanic struggle 6:51pm on 06 Oct 2008 Incidentally, Spurs were not relegated in 1912/13 ... and they finished ahead of Woolwich Arsenal.... really it was a great season!
Ramos facing Titanic struggle 6:41pm on 06 Oct 2008 I feel this is a very poor article. Pandering to the lowest common denominator with little aversion to the odd cheap shot.
Fact One: Juande Ramos has a CV better than anyone else we are likely to recruit;
Fact Two: We really had no choice, due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances, but to sell our best two strikers;
Fact Three: We have some very talented performers - I thought Lennon, Corluka and Bale to name just three were excellent yesterday;
Fact Four: Bentley was not used as auxiliary defender - he was in my opinion brought to play the role that Daniel Alves played at Sevilla under Ramos i.e. foraging all the way down the right wing;
Fact Five: The most successful club have the managers longest in post;
Are we going to throw the baby out with the bath water again? I don't think the vast majority of Spurs fans want to do that.
