Que es esto, Brasil vs Uruguay? Dejen de hacer tiempo colombianos.
Okay
GOOOL
"Se lo comió no puede ser! Y hablando de comer, que tal unas lentejitas?"

Colombian commercials still undefeated
How is Nunez looking
Olivera-gimenez-araujo-nandez is no joke the best defensive line in south america
Handball goal was bullshit but Colombia is clearly better.
lucho diaz is a god
Asistencia con la mano, solo se vale contra Uruguay
James what was that pass....
What a fucking robbery
handball?
lol goals from james and uribe, the two more criticized
No way they allowed that goal, lol
Luchooo..that was a big one to seal the game
que bien saben las lagrimas de uruguayo ardido
Match is getting entertaining
Con razón que le dicen Lucho, que guerrero tan increíble para empezar esa jugada
VAR was ~~never~~ always my friend.
Araujo did a great block on Diaz, but yes not much after that
El Codo de la fe
Jueputa al fin puede meter ese gol
LOL did 3 Colombia players signal for hand for their own player? Instincts..
CONMEBOL Refs hate Uruguay these qualifiers
Bielsa needs to change something in that defence because I will grow gray hairs at 19
Jhon Arias is sooo bad man
Colombia GK
Last man, denial of a goalscoring opportunity
What is Lorenzo cooking
#GRACIAS DIOS JAMES NUNCA DUDE DE TU ESOS TUITS DICIENDOTE MUERTO ERAN PARA QUE SACARAS TU MEJOR VERSION
Handball aside, damn Lucho is a stud. León guajiro.
He’s a different class, seriously
We're talking about a clean match. Fighting against the supernatural is too hard.
I get he’s wasted a lot in his career and he seems slow many times but there’s no one that gets close to him in terms of attacking intention and decisiveness. I don’t get why people keep trying to bench him.
Good God we are never getting rid of James lol! What a love hate relationship we have with him
Todo allá vale un salario mínimo.
Jamás dude de ti, restaurantero hp!
Que zurdazo, still the most class player on the pitch sorry Lucho and Fede
Any chance to Arrascaeta play in 2nd half?
That goal made me very happy. Good process boys.
Mele es el arquero del Junior, equipo del estadio donde están jugando, imagino que puede ser por eso
I love James so much. I’m happy with he’s happy, regardless of how much talent he has wasted in his career.
Wait, does RCN do live ads? Did they just made up a promotion mentioning James and the timestamp when he scored the goal?
The type of game where you really see araujo is a generational talent. What a fucking tackle
Diaz is not the main man of this team. He may play for the biggest team but far from proving he is our best player. These qualifiers have shown that.
Thanks for the info. I’d say that would be a penalty if it was reversed though. Crazy.
Perfect penalty
Because time was up lmao.
Colombia watering just the side of the pitch uruguay is going to attack the second half lmfao
False 9 James in 2023…
VAMOSSS
Luis suarez from almeria? Lol I dont expect him to ever make the bench let alone score goals for us one day.
These uruguay shirts are a disgrace for a team creating so much talent and stars looks like a regular white dish towel
What the actual fuck is going on right now
no se que vi, pido perdon
Imagine if we played like this every time. My god.
Shitting thy pants.

Cagandome encima. VAMO URUGUAY CARAJO
Classic refball, they'll get suspended after the game and nothing will happen. AGAIN
That should have been a red.

Hmmmmm.
Araujo plz no injury.
Colombia win or Valverde masterclass

No puedo perder de verdad...
Please don’t get injured
James turning the clock back to 2014-2019..
Cuadrado?
Bo, por qué no ataja Rochet?
Este arquero que esta haciendo tio?
Ah, revivió Higuita. (QUE ESTAS HACIENDO CAMILO)
AY JUEPUTA
If we could keep the ball out of Valverdes feet near the box it’d be great. Everytime he starts winding up for a shot my blood pressure sky rockets.
I genuinely am not an especially patriotic person but CONMEBOL WCQ do something to me that I can’t quite describe.

VAMOOOOOOS HP DE MIERDA VIVA COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 MI SELE
Vuelve, Arias, Vuelve Fabra, Vuelve Cuesta, vuelve Barrios, Vuelve James

Me ilusiono o me preocupo?
Why doesn't Colombia play in Bogotá anymore?
James no
Uruguay wearing white and not blue bothers me
Those Uruguay shirts are interesting
Bielsa has favored younger players which is fair enough.

I'd have taken at least one of Suarez/Cavani
Ay Mateus
Nada como empezar el partido con tarjeta para nuestro arquero jaja
Piece of shit AUF not letting us watch this in the states from their website anymore
Gotta give it to James, good shot considering the ball was kinda in mid air
As long he doesn't meet barrios he is probably the danger in the field tbh
Jfc
What a pass from James, Lucho has to do better there.
Why are there political campaign ads at RCN haha?
That cut to bielsa after ugarte didn’t pass the ball LMFAO
I went through Uruguay's team and noticed an absence of the "old fuckers" how I'd like to call them. Are Cavani, Luis Suárez, Martín Caceres, Muslera retired?
Thats a straight red wtf that would snap his leg if it connected
Jesus what did James try to do there, i get trying to get the ball but god! He almost wiped him out entirely!
FALSE 9 JAMES IN 2023 DIDNT DOUBT IT FOR A SECOND VAMOS PAPA
Uy que pase
We’re just passing it back and forth between teams in dangerous areas lol
Y no es nada bueno, sinceramente. Te hacen medio show y todo pero cocino mejor comida en mi Airfryer
oh, i understand you saying Bolivia, Chile and Peru but surprised you said Paraguay considering how they only have 1 point sure but they were unlucky to get a win from Peru and against Venezuela they only lost due to a penalty so im surprised you be saying they poor in quality.
7/10 teams qualify and Bolivia - Chile - Paraguay - Peru are poor in quality
Uruguay playing with fire leaving so many 1 v 1 with Lucho
Ah they don't make a break in their leagues? What about Muslera though
So two reds already not given.
We're still alive! I didn't expect that.
Colombia playing well so far…
By law every party that made the voting threshold gets x amount of tv time on both RCN and Caracol
What a clusterfuck of a game lol. It’d be entertaining if I was a neutral.
In what universe is that a handball?
Yup 1-1 otw to Rusia
There you go you moronic haters. Jrod always performs goal or not but theres a goal for you
Hmmm didnt james score against chile in santiago AFTER 2014? Forget the year. Thanks for the fake stat.
What channel is showing this game?
ngl this game is going to be very fun and fast because neither team (specially Colombia) benefits from a draw due to the two leading teams having 6 points so like, even if early on the qualification matches, Colombia probs want to be first and Uruguay want to bounce back from the loss to Ecuador so yeah, this is going to be a match to see.
De la cruz just broke a windshield outside of the stadium
Todo parte del plan (?
Merentiel > Nuñez
wtf is going on this game suddenly lmao
que sigas llorando
Sigue sin sacar a Brian ajajajaja
Lucho although missing chances has created as well. Uribe played well. Arias es carro loco pero desborda. It’s not just James.
James y diez mas, it's 2018 WCQ all over again in the year of our lord 2023.
Pero cambia algo pelado hijo de puta
draw it is then
Jfc
O my fucking god, these shots
I feel lile after 2021, Lucho Diaz hasn’t been as good as he was in the last Copa America.
Almost made it 3-2 aswell !
Always knew we didn't have it in us to succeed. Smh
Great pass from Fede tbf
We’re going to regret not scoring a third.
Hpta pongan a un man encima de Valverde que no se quite de el
De qué se queja el golero entonces lmao
Vargas taking after Ospina in getting injured after every save
Fair play to James tbh, didn't think he still had performances like today in him.
Handball goal and playing 2 minutes of an added 5 when it should have been 7+ lmfao. Still though, draw at baranquilla is a huge result and colombia is looking a lot better than last qualifiers
Great, but couldn't finish their chances.

So it was a tie right now but could be 4, 5 goals.
Colombia doesnt deserve to qualify. What fucking bottlers.
Vaya pase, cambia el partido completamente
Who will be the keeper?
That's a bit of a stretch. There's 7 berths and we're definitely better than Venezuela, Bolivia and Paraguay
Ok fair enough lol
Incredible goal to concede. We all kmew we'll lament those missed chances. Hard to not be pissed at Diaz rn.
Disastrous refereeing with both uses of var
He really gave 5 minutes, actual robbery
I wasn't expecting anything when it started, but to end it like this... so disappointed. Such a let down.
Pero que acaba de hacer Uruguay
Lucho is supposed to be the man on this team now, not James....

He's not helping himself
Uruguay está haciendo la misma de nosotros de pasarlo de vuelta cuando podía patear directo, eso es solidaridad 👍😀
Injured, but we really should move on from him.
I want to see goals this time, Colombia.
Con todo y lo que ha botado en su carrera lo peor que ha hecho es ese restaurante en Bogotá 😂. Malísimo.
I doubt it will be as good as the one that just expired. They reached the WC semi finals and that not by accident. I think the same way about Belgium btw. They also reached the WC semi finals. People forget how good their team at its best was, in more than half of the spots in the starting XI they had players who were genuinely world class. They have good young players coming up now, sure, but I doubt they will be good enough to go so far in a WC.
Araujooooo miss
We'll draw our way to the world cup it seems.
well, it was a fun match at least
viven en un country.... andan en los mejores coches...
Valverde letting old man James outplay him makes me a bit sad as a Madridista
Top…
Ay, Luchin, no.
Lucky save from Uruguay keeper
No Rochet, no bueno
Vargas very clutch so far
Yo soy tan anti-James como cualquiera, pero que golazo. Como en 2014 ;)
De La Cruyff is not De La Cruyffing rn
People trashing James in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is James. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.
2014 Flashbacks!!
Literally 😭😭
That looked so bad from James.
They did it!
He correctly got a yellow for a clumsy barge on Nuñez. Why would that be a red?
Fuck I missed it where are the replays psgacademy
De La Cruz que fue eso?
Good to have Santi back
Fuck sake de la cruz is so ass we should be winning this
ok so im not the only one, geezus that is a red no doubt, good to know.
We're not playing as awful as i thought we would play. Not great but not god awful. We just need better midfielders
My god Bielsa must be fuming right now
top 3 defenders in the world
Impresionante en su época, siempre me daban ganas de bajarme una (u ocho) cervezas. Ahora lo que domina el vicio del juego y las apuestas en lugar del trago jaja
Bielsa still probably thinks he's managing Leeds or something
Eh. I remember when Ecuador tried to cook us at the Atahualpa at noon. You learn to play the rulebook as much as possible.

Granted, they aren't enough to mask talent (or lack of...right, Bolivia?)
contundente
That last pass .... 😔🫠
Borre is literally the 9.
Extraño los jingles de Aguila cada 15 minutos
nooo

James MVP tho
Ay mamá
Oh shit i forgot 2015
Ya retirate por favor james que siempre nos metes golazos 😭
Al parecer no se repetirá el 6-1 en Quito, este equipo colombiano da miedo
Does it count as a James assist?
Typical de la cruz playing good one game and ass for the next 2 years
So many missed chances, we should be winning comfortably
3:30 pm right?

And let's be honest, it's not like that kind of climate doesn't exist elsewhere in South America. Maybe not Uruguay, but Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela are no strangers to this.
A few poor finishes where they preferred power over placement. You guys are still on top so far.
Araujo damn..
Uruguay had like 5v1 lol. I was convinced that was a goal
Brian Rodríguez y Pellistri no pueden ser titulares en ningún equipo del planeta
Dude what just happened, why didnt the player from Uruguay just keep running, its not like the defender would have gotten to him before he could shoot or pass
Oh awesome, thanks alot
Mano de 🦅
Very entertaining game so far
Metan una maldita sea!
No entiendo porqué no dejó que se jugara el tiro de esquina
Pass to DARWIN
wtf just happened
We are so ass away from home.
For the last Copa America they also posted the VAR reviews on YouTube, which was pretty cool.
penal?
Jueputa vida era para meterles 4 cuando podíamos
I've cursed too much at the tv, can't remember what made.me said that
Time for some good old time wasting
era el empate
Two underwhelming teams so far. Colombia's ahead because of James' brilliance, but aside from that not much from the team. Uruguay could've scored twice already but missed two big chances
What are these var angles
Haven’t been able to watch. How has Colombia looked?
Vargas is a big Naruto fan.
Mierda
That was such a shit ball by Carrascal. Under no pressure whatsoever.
this seems like a pretty fair result to me
James has elite hair line bro
That shot from Diaz 🤔🤔
Every time I see Brian Rodriguez with the #10 I fucking die inside. By the way if he takes Darwin off at half time for another random player I might dropkick the TV.

Our defence has been violated for the 2nd game in a row (Chile was a walkover so that doesn't say much)
Enorme James!!! Que lindo verte jugar así.
no mucho
Uribe is worthless, Vargas saved our asses and, James is still class
Yeah nobody can run for more than 15 mins without being gassed
Gooool lpmqlrp
Already forgot your epic battle against Peruvian shamans?
Incoming 18 seconds of extra time (not like we even deserve a draw)
They kept him to waste time. Karma.
Where is El Gordo Cardona when you need him?
I really like how in South America they show VAR checking goals and fouls live.
GOOOOOOOOOOL, CONCHUDO!
Colombia deserve to win this game but will somehow find a way to blow it
Wow…i knew it. That third goal man
Mentase su gol de mano en el culo vamooooooooooos
The goalkeeper should have asked to leave since he was having discomfort for a long time.
In times like these, I really miss Luisito
fuck these posts
Something something class permanent
red card..
It didn't really look all that close but yeah
Why do you hate VAR so much?
Cualquier partido de Colombia termina así.
could’ve been offside or a foul by the attacker?
Didn't touch him
what a weird fucking game
Uruguay just gave up on the game
uruguay literally missed more in the first half
Our legs are gone
De Arrascaeta is doing some sexy passing, hope that's enough for Bielsa ball to break into the starting XI.
Where the hell are the uruguayan CBs and RB??? Why is Diaz always alone lol
Obviously I’m a bit biased but it wasn’t a natural position against his body. Either way nothing to do now. The point is that regardless, it would still be allowed to go uncalled so it doesn’t matter now
James y 10 mas. We're back in 2014-2018 times. Can no one else shoot well? Jesus christ
Brazil and Argentina coming up, not looking good. 4 losses in a row ended Tabarez.
This is one of those games that if we don’t score another one we will regret
If that was given as a penalty, I'd feel really hard done by. The ball flies in and the arm is down. It isn't an offense.
Lmao as a neutral this is fun to watch.
Schizophrenic game
o los uruguayos estan super dormidos o los colombianos juegan de puta madre
Estoy viendo a un zombie jugar en el metropolitano
Colombia growing into the second half. Always found it funny, the better we play, the less dirty of a team we are. Score line looking justifiable now.
who is playing right back on uruguay, because they are fucking up
We are so bad lol
Mimimimi lagrimas mimimimi
colombia are losing this shit, missing 3 clear chances like those...
Uruguay should lose for that hideous shirt alone.
dude do you not get tired of saying the worst takes imaginable every single comment
uruguayo menos subnormal:
Colombia is playing good right now, but if they don't finish this things could go bad.
Vargas learned that one from Ospina.
Cuatro cuatro puto 2
;D
What no Mina does to this team 😐
Can you explain it? I’m still confused why it wasn’t considered a handball
Luis Díaz - Ronald Araújo - Manuel Ugarte - Darwin Núñez - Facundo Pellistri - Federico Valverde all on the pitch.

Yet it is James Rodríguez who is cooking
I wanna see them vs Diniz ball
I thought Bielsa to Uruguay would be a decent combo but uh its been a bit all over the place
I know this is going to sound odd but like, i feel as if Colombia should try a press type tactic around the midfield so to ensure that if Uruguay tries a counterattack the forwards end up in offside thus nullifying their probably biggest goal chance tactic as far as this match shows. Plus, if the ball is recovered then it would be easier for Colombia to use the press to send the midfield forward enough to throw an assist. That´s honestly how i feel Colombia could both keep their lead and score a goal even
Red card? And penalty? Oohoho
Pero
lo dejaron solo
Uruguay defenders block/defend/deflect a shot challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (EVERY SHOT WILL GO IN)
Lucho hanging around Nuñez too much
Smash and Grab
Estoy en el hospital agonizando, ojala meta gol Davinson xD
Salí para tuiter
Futsal legend Richard Ríos.
Lol ref only added 5 minutes.

Give the fans 15 min worth of chaos, you coward!
Couple brutal misses from really good play and obviously small mistakes against a great team
This match deserved +10 minutes by the new standards. Stupid ref.
Vamos!!!!! Lucho putting in work and us bouncing back from a quick tie.
###Lucho Lucho Lucho
Should've been 82 hours of extra time since Colombians spent more time on the ground than playing but whatever, I'll take a point away from home and playing like ass TYVM
Anyone has an AA on the second goal?
Colombia moment.

¿Y si jugamos con camisa roja mejor?
There a shortage of last names in Uruguay or something ?
Ngl im anxious to see this Uruguay side against us, will be our first proper test
Two? We missed like 10 lmao
Así se hacen los goles, nada de tiki taka ni que ocho cuartos
Awful mark from Colombia
How is Lorenzo wearing a full suit in this Barranquilla weather!? My man looks like he'll lose 10 pounds just by sweating alone
I don't see why the goal shouldn't have counted. That is not a handball. It was a pen, wasn't as bad as it looked live, but he still clears the player.
Luis Suarez?
Why are they even playing? Just give colombia de three points already.
