The participation of Colombia in the World Cup.

The Participation of Colombia in the World Cup.

Today 03/07/2018 the Colombian team was elimanted of the World Cup, after his great performance in this competition. Colombia Team managed to reach to the round of 16 teams, and had to confront with England, in this match Colombia lose, after a game suffered, in which they fought until the end, and reached the marker 1-1, but unfortunately they lose in the penalty's round . 

During the match we see some "irregularities" with the referee, because some plays were in doubt if it were or not fault, he didn't search the help form the VAR, and he took the decision without a revision. For example sometimes the english simulated faults that didn´t exist, and the referee marked them as a fault, But some that few know is that VAR is only used to decisive plays, for example when is doubt in a penal, or putting a red card, for this types of acts the referee use the VAR. ( There you can see when is used the VAR ).

Also in this match both teams were "hots" (mening that was having friction), we could see it in the faults of both teams, and also in the final part of the second time, in which colombia was lossing and the english only lose time, they act as if had fear ( like any team that is winning and wants to ends the match) , because for this time Colombia was pressing with all, this pressure give the draw for the team, hitting goal in the extra time. We see the admirable Yerry Mina scoring the goal with his head, in oportunities of still ball, like in the match Colombia vs Senegal, Colombia vs Polonia, and the last one Colombia vs England.

 Returning to the principal topic, is important to remember the Colombian's performance in the previous World Cup, in which we won 4 match, without lose, but in the quarter final we lose in the match with brasil.

If we see this results, all change, for example the results of Colombia, but isnt because colombia is getting worse, it can be because all teams are improve their way to play, like Japon that in this time won the match confronting Colombia 2- 1 (wining Japon).

Although Colombia was eliminateed, they did nice job, they arrive to the eighth finals, the team work was well, but sometiemes like any team some lack, I think that can be the definition of the team, because Falcao alone, cant do anything, he need some help, for me they need  "surprise factor".

For this reason some fotball critics, think that is neccesary to change the D.T Pekerman, they say " On 2014 we were applauding for his excelent work, but today is different", with this the continuation of Pekerman is in doubt.

This World Cup brought many surprises for the World, for example we see the elimination of Alemania in the group stage, winning 1 match, and lossing 2 matchs. Also we had surprises from irrelevant teams, that do the best performance, for example Japon and Mexico. We see a incredible change of the small teams, which pulled out their faces for their Countries.

There I left the summary of the match Colombia vs England. However I love my Colombia selection.
