Hello everyone, and welcome back to the /soccer World Cup preview series! I have heard unconfirmed rumours that deception42 is currently at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazahkhstan, getting ready to deliver the good word about this subreddit to the astronauts aboard the ISS. They probably won’t be able to watch the World Cup, but I’m sure they’ll appreciate having a place to discuss it. Meanwhile, I’ll remain on this planet to provide you with another preview. Today we're discussing Colombia with the assistance of Sebas8181 and stevenmadden!

Colombia

About

Nickname(s): Los Cafeteros (The Coffee Growers) La Tricolor (The Tricolors)
Association: Federación Colombiana de Fútbol (FCF)
Confederation: CONMEBOL (South America)
Head coach: José Pékerman
Captain: Radamel Falcao
Most caps: Carlos Valderrama (111)
Top scorer: Radamel Falcao (29)

The Country

Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia, is a sovereign state in the north west of South America. After first being colonised by the Spanish in 1499, and after all the messy and convoluted history colonisation entails, the current nation exists since 1886. Colombia is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse countries in the world, and thereby possesses a rich cultural heritage. The urban centres are mostly located in the highlands of the Andes mountains. Colombian territory also encompasses Amazon rainforest, tropical grassland and both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. Ecologically, it is one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, and the most densely biodiverse of these per square kilometer.

History

Colombia’s first World Cup participation took place in Chile (1962), where they crashed out of the group stage without winning a game. It took them 28 years to qualify again, making it to the first knockout round at Italia ‘90, before going out in the groups again in 1994 and 1998. After failing to qualify for the subsequent three tournaments, they did themselves proud in Brazil, making it all the way to the quarter finals - their best result to date. On a slightly smaller scale, they’ve got four third-place finishes at the Copa America to go along with their title in 2001.

Some notable dropouts/reserves are:
Duvan Zapata, Edwin Cardona, Jimmy Chará, William Tesillo, Iván Arboleda, Daniel Torres, Gio Moreno, Bernardo Espinosa, Wood-Trunk Medina

Potential Starting XI

The expected lineup is this. Some people will disagree about Muriel/Cuadrado but Pekerman is a man that really values experience and previous performances for the NT.
In terms of strategy and style is pretty much the same as 4 years ago, 4-2-1-3/4-1-4-1 with our main man playing in a free creative role and fast wingers/FW/FB that allow quick transitions from the center to the flanks. The biggest difference is that now we use more balanced fullbacks, meaning that in general our team is less vertical but also more compact between lines. The other biggest difference is that this year we will play with only 1 dedicated DM.
Our FBs used to be the ones leading the attack through the flanks with Cuadrado helping in the zonal number advantage. In this iteration, the second strikeforward (Muriel/Borja) acts as a mixed winger and Cuadrado clearly in the right flank, relieving the FBs from many offensive and even high pressure tasks. BUT from the last matches, we can see bigger variations. For example, against defensive teams we might see only 1 DM with James playing as a secondary CM and Quintero as a CAM. In other matches we might use Falcao as solo ST with Izquierdo/Cuadrado feeding him from the sides.
At the same time, this means we can use only one DM and one CM instead of DM+2 CM or even 2DM+CM that we used a lot 4 years ago. Negative side is that this puts even more importance in James and both wide positioned players performances. Regardless of the situation/strategy, it all comes down to how well the team allows James to do his thing.

Players to Watch

1.Key players: There are 4 key colombian players to follow in this WC. First and most obvious is James, he's our most important player and the base upon everything is built around. Falcao will play his first (and possibly only) WC ever. He missed the 2014 WC while being arguably the best striker at the time after a career-changing injury. Davinson Sanchez is the colombian CB with the highest potential since Ivan Cordoba. He already plays for a top 4 PL side but many people say he can become a world top 3 CB.
Last player is actually 2 players, Barrios and Uribe. The first one is already a Boca fan loved player in Argentina and with barely 24yo he can make the jump to Europe next year. The second one is Uribe, less "starter" and young than Barrios but gave nice impressions whenever he played for the NT.
2. Personal favorites/Lowkey names: Not sure if they will even play a match in the WC but I feel Izquierdo and Mojica have a great present with big potential looking forward. Both had amazing performances at their clubs and play a lot like a younger Cuadrado and Armero/Zuñiga.

Points of Discussion

Points of discussion
1.Similar path group than in 2014: This year we will have an eerily similar path than we had in 2014. In group stage we will play against Japan, a defensive but with key attacking players African team, and a not so hyped but still uncomfortable European team.
2.Last WC for many and upcoming friendlies: This might be the last WC for many of our players and even the manager. Pekerman has already said he's retiring after the WC, Cuadrado/Ospina/Falcao will be 33+yo for Qatar and they are already past their peaks.
3.Severe lack of goalscoring: It's not a secret how much we've struggled in the scoring department in the Pekerman era, even in the 2014 qualies. All our current FW/STs have mediocre performances either at their clubs or at the NT. I think Pekerman made a big mistake in not taking Zapata, who was the only one playing decently at both facets and had shown in his last NT matches that he can score and create spaces, but in the end there are only 4 spots for those positions. James as a CAM was the goalscorer of 2014 WC and 2018 qualies for Colombia, with 6 goals in each tournament. Falcao/Teo/Bacca combined got 6 goals in the qualies.
Expectations
I feel many people are underrating this NT, specially saying we shouldn't be considered dark horses. We have a rather homogeneous but not so hard group in theory, and I'm confident we can win against Belgium and England in quarters. Any colombian fan will tell you that we play really well against better teams and bottle against lower. We've tied/won against the likes of Spain and France in the last years, and always make good matches against.
Sure, we are not as strong as 4 years ago, but our defense is one of the most solids in the tournament and whenever you have a top 10 player in your team like Cristiano/Messi/Bale/James/Neymar, you can expect such player carrying their teams against the odds. Nobody thought we would make anything without Falcao in Brazil 2014 yet we were really close of making it to semis. I feel we can make it to quarters this time and even make the upset against Brazil/Germany. Funny enough, I think we have more chances against second one than against Brazil bc of the style of both teams.
Whatever happens in this WC for Colombia, you can 100% expect that we will bring you the best dances, the most passionated people and the best smiles of the Russian 2018 World Cup.

Bueno, hoy el thread lo vamos a tener dividido en dos, la primera parte vamos a hacer una recopilación de lo que nos dejó el torneo transición 2016, goleadores, descendidos, promedios, etc.
Mientras que la segunda parte vamos a hablar de lo que es la Copa América, modalidad de juego, mejores y peores equipos, seleccionados, historia, etc.
Arrancamos con lo primero, el Torneo Transición 2016

Qué nos dejó la Zona 1?

El ganador de la zona fue San Lorenzo (San Silencio para los amigos).
En una apasionante definición por la punta ante Godoy Crúz (Godoy Pús para la referencia).
El cuervo de boedo, almagro, o algún barrio (no se sabe cual), empató 1 a 1 con Banfield (Garfield)
Mientras que los mendocinos pechearon de visitante contra San Martín de San Juan en el clásico cuyano, (que supuestamente estaban incentivados a ganar para tener un bono extra por sacar X cantidad de puntos) 2-0.
Con solamente un empate, los de Mendoza eran finalistas.

Qué nos dejó la Zona 2?

Acá ya se sabía que el campeon era Lanús, pero la verdadera final se daba entre Estudiantes de La Plata (Ensuciantes de la pata) y Atlético Tucumán (Patético de Tucumán) por ver quien accedía a la Copa Libertadores 2017.
Patético de Tucumán, que nescecitaba si o si una victoria o un empate ante Newell's (Nievels), perdió 2-1 de visitante en el Congelador Marcelo Bielsa.
Mientras que Ensuciantes, que corría con toda la ventaja, empató en un partidazo con Unión (Bunión) 1-1 y así consiguió la plaza para la Libertadores 2017.

COPA AMÉRICA 2016

Bueno a diferencia de la copa América que estamos acostumbrados o lo que fue la del año pasado en Chile, esta cuenta con 16 equipos (12 equipos la sudamericana) son 4 grupos de 4 equipos y pasan los dos mejores de cada equipo a los playoffs, donde es a eliminación hasta el final.

EQUIPOS PARTICIPANTES:

Cada país lleva a una imagen (o link para los que no encontre) con las nominas de cada selección

Argentina

Bolivia

Brasil

Chile

Colombia

Costa Rica

Ecuador

Estados Unidos

Haití

Jamaica

México

Panamá

Paraguay

Perú

Uruguay

Venezuela

GRUPOS

Grupo A

Creo que de los 4 grupos es el más parejo, en el último mundial los cuatro pasaron los grupos, y todos demostraron que merecían llegar más lejos de lo que llegaron.
Estados Unidos presenta grandes jugadores, la mayoría de ellos en el fútbol Inglés, mucho cuidado con los gringos!
Colombia, de grandes jugadores pero de un presente muuuy irregular, esta copa depende de James, si engancha una buena semana pueden llegar a pasar.
Costa Rica, fue la revelación del último mundial, llegaron a los cuartos y estuvieron a una tanda de penales de llegar a semis, yo rogaba porque no pasen a las semis, si pasaban, Argentina no era finalista. Mucho cuidado si estos pasan de fase.
Paraguay fue tercero en la última Copa América en Chile, la selección comandada por Ramón Diaz tiene un buen presente, pero salió sorteada, lamentablemente, en el grupo más duro, no pasan de grupos.
Mi selección de este grupo?
Estados Unidos
Costa Rica
Chau Pekerman de Colombia.

Equipo
Estados Unidos
Colombia
Costa Rica
Paraguay

Grupo B

Grupo duro pero no tanto como el A.
Brasil se guarda las cartas fuertes para los JJOO, quieren ganar el título en Rio, esta copa no le interesa.
Ecuador dió la sorpresa en las primeras fechas de las eliminatorias, es la lider de la tabla ATM, cuidado con Ecuador..
Hatí, que dejó en el camino a la poderosa ex campeona del mundo Trinidad y tobago ^/s ~se robó~ consiguió esta plaza en el repechaje, mi opinión de este equipo? Se comen 4 o más por partido.
Perú, el equipo de Gareca, no le tengo mucha fé la verdad, pueden llegar a pasar según el resultado con Brasil.
Mi selección?
Ecuador
Brasil

Equipo
Brasil
Ecuador
Haití
Perú

Grupo C

México, eternos hijos nuestros, último campeón de la concacaf (conmebol del norte) casi quedan eliminados en las qualys del último mundial.
Uruguay, los dinos, con la vuelta de Suarez, Uruguay no va a ir a perder el tiempo a Estados Unidos, cuidado con los Uruguayos, pueden llegar lejos.
Jamaica, los grones, los padecimos en Chile, son un equipo muy duro, la mayoría se desempeñan en la MLS y en la Premier League, como el caso del capitán que fue campeón en Leicester, van a fracasar.
Venezuela, la vinotinto, van de regalo, no pasan los grupos.
Mi predicción?
Uruguay
México

Equipo
México
Uruguay
Jamaica
Venezuela

Grupo D

Argentina, por el momento sabemos que llegamos con dos lesionados, Lavezzi y Pastore y con Messi con 30000km en 2 días, por suerte el debut es contra Bolivia, la máxima complicación puede ser Chile, no hay posibilidad alguna de quedar eliminados.
Chile, últimos campeones de América, van a defender el título que compraron, pasan de grupo pero no cuartos.
Panamá, la único que se de esta gente es que llegaron en el repechaje y que Kate, la que está en Tocala por TyC está perrisima. No pasan grupos.
Bolivia, nos cagaron el debut en la Copa América 2011, los últimos partidos se los ganamos por afano, no hay porque preocuparse, salieron desfavorecidos en el sorteo.
El pitonizo zeenting confirma que pasan
Argentina
Chile

Equipo
Argentina
Chile
Panamá
Bolivia
