Los Cafeteros

Could Colombia be the next World Cup's Uruguay (or even better)? Or is it just the two Monaco boys and not much else?

uruguay should be the next world cup's uruguay

colombia are good but will do well to get past qfs, they are still playing 37? yr old mario yepes

I'm not sure what they're like in defence but up front they've got talent up the wazoo. Jackson Martinez is lethal, Cuadrado looks a player, Muriel is meant to be another one to watch. And obviously could do worse than having Fredy Guarin running the midfield.

I don't know anywhere near enough about their form and the wider squad to hazard a guess as to their status as dark horses for the tournament but tbh if they click then they've got the sort of firepower to cause an upset or two I reckon

Muriel :D

'windsor davies gets involved'

at least seventy three instances of lethal cant there, 1 2 watch, cause an upset, 'could do worse', firepower and the thrusting shiny stallion of fitba imponderables DARK HORSES, then hyping players whose colombia form is nowhere near their club form (falcao mostly, although subpar falcao still shits on most forwards, and guarin who didn't start vs chile)

they're a good side and they will probably do well, 'dark horses' is some paul wilson level attempt at itk shit based on a few familiar names and not wanting to be seen to be boring

wtf

could have said klata shit i didn't want to overdo it

god forbid

incredible that anyone could think of posting that, and then actually go ahead and type it out and hit submit

Muriel on Fifa '13 is pretty deadly actually

the main problem with klata is that he has spoken approvingly of antisemitic banter*, that and how his posts are terrible cloying hornby whimsy sad menopausal lumpenbourgeois dogshit but the most insistent one is just how slow he is, like he thinks that just because one throwaway post is being clowned i am somehow shitting on i love football's most/only valuable new poster who i have approved of elsewhere and who as baby of the house has all the excuses that you don't

* Thread for continued speculation on l'affaire KEYSY etc, rolling reactionary stupidity/misogyny/prejudice in football

Kinda unnecessary but I'm not going to stop participating because you know more about football than I do and are prepared to be a bell-end about it. Keep up the good work though man

if you recant your approval of that completely shitty and depraved le tissier thing then i will leave your dumb posts alone

god i wished i knew a lot about fitba but when i managed to correctly guess mario yepes' age in the back of a cab stuck in traffic, that's a fairly rare itk moment these days, mostly i am scarcely less ignorant than plebs like yrself although at least sentient enough to recognize it

previous response was written prior to that grudging caveat from you fwiw.

And I know that the occasional takedown on other posters is part of the remit but I come here to read (and talk a bit) about football, I'm not really that interested in getting involved with the other stuff, neither am I going to cry myself to sleep if you find me boring

xpost i dont know what this le tissier thing is and im sure whatever it is, its nbd. shake hands and swap pennants lads.

Is that some kind of ultimatum? Take a look at yourself ffs.

just maybe you have seen sense in the last couple of years in which case fair enough, if you haven't whatever, kind of intrigued to have apologetics for that on i love football while the most minimally racist things get 1000 posts on the rest of ilx

Leave my posts alone if you want to, or don't. You certainly seem to spend a lot of time thinking about them.

based on my wdyll pics would you say i have a big nose for a jew?

a rain shall come

some off the ball action itt

anyway for Colombia I'm surprised they haven't called up Fredy Montero based on his form at Sporting CP

any excuse to put this up tbh

I could sort of go for a Frutino now

I am 100% in support of necessary cuntishness (indeed ilx needs a lot more of it) but this wasnt it nakh.

nakh you are far more tiresome than any poster you call out.
