    Really looking forward to this one. Would like one African team to progress, but I have always had a soft spot for Colombia, because of Carlos Valderama's barnet back in the day.

    Ah now that just shows your era. I am definitely slightly anti-Colombia, as a footballing nation because one day, during the 1970 World Cup tournament, Bobby Moore, the then captain of England was set up, by being accused of theft in a jeweller's shop in Bogota, the capital city of Colombia. The charges were so contrived it was laughable, but it unsettled Bobby and the whole England team. They chose the wrong bloke to tarnish, but of course they probably thought that anyone was worth a pop at. Not so Moore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogotá_Bracelet

    Howard Webb will be refereeing this one - his first match.

    Will be interesting to see if Gradel is as petulant as ever. Was funny watching his histrionics when he played against us for Leeds in our first game back in the Champ a few years ago.

    Colombia are so weird. Why don't they play their good strikers?

    I guess James Rodriguez is going to be their main goal threat anyway?

    9 goals for Monaco this season. He's their playmaker more than anything. Bacca has been lethal in 2014.

    Just seems that now they don't have Falcao, he's their go-to guy! I would have started Jackson Martinez myself, I like the cut of his jib!

    I hope my friend who now lives out in Colombia is able to watch this. Although I doubt he's traveled the hours it takes for him to get into civilisation (that looks weird, Civilization looks better but maybe I'm basing that on the game!) to watch it. Unless the shaman, who also masquerades as the doctor, has conjured up a TV <laugh>

    Anyway, it's in his honour that i'm supporting Colombia, so come on Los Cafeteros!!

    Why does Gervinho always look so good when he was not playing for Arsenal...
