I reckon this could be the year that Colombia becomes known for more than just cartels and coffee. Or maybe not. I'll have to check up on them - all I can remember of Colombian footballing history are - Valderama and his amazing hair, Higuita the keeper who did that scorpian kick save with his feet at Wembley, and Bobby Moore and that diamond necklace. Oh well, this will make me follow Group C a bit more closely.
The World Cup is quite soon isn't it? Later this year sometime? Not that you'd know it over here - literally no mention of it on TV. Mind you, we're into the fifth month of the ice hockey playoffs, plus the basketball playoffs, and not forgetting major new series of reality TV shows like the one about the guy who builds treehouses (I kid you not) - so who needs kickball?
