Big day for Colombian soccer. A game against Ecuador and a win would guarantee pretty much the participation at the world cup finals in Brazil in June 2014. The Colombians plan their "home games" in the city of Barranquila (on the Atlantic ocean) where they "torture" their opponents in the 40 degree heat for a game that starts at 3 pm in the afternoon. Today that did not work though..... tropical rains came down. The game was postponed till 5 pm and was played most of the time in pouring rain.
Ecuador loses a player to a red card. Colombia scores 1-0. Ecuador get a penalty kick....but misses. Colombia hits the post. The Colombians can't wait till the final whistle......
But there it is.......Colombia will be part of the party of the world cup in Brazil.......!
Time for joy and salsa.......
Later in the evening Chile beats Venezuela and I think that will send them to Brazil as well together with Argentina and Colombia and one more team to qualify.
In Europe Holland almost lost from little Estonia....tied the game 2-2 in the last few minutes.
But I think they will also make it to Brazil.
