Highlights from Group C- Colombia and Greece!

Colombia

We were so excited to see Colombia qualify for the World Cup!!  They haven't made it to the Cup since 1998.  

Los Cafateros came in second overall and stand a good chance of advancing under Argentine coach Jose Nestor Pekerman.  They are however missing one of their star players (and hottties!), striker Radamel Falcao who is injured. There are huge stakes on their first match against Greece today - some say it could influence the outcome of the presidential election runoff the following day!

Falcao will be on the sidelines cheering the team, so keep an eye out for him!




38 year old defender Mario Yepes is the captain and veteran on the team.
