Colombia should be able to win tonite, but soccer is a weird sport. You never know.

I actually saw the Colombian national team once, in a friendly against Northern Ireland at Foxboro Stadium a few weeks before the World Cup in '94. They were amazing to watch. Valderrama, Rincon, Asprilla. They played a short one touch passing game. I realized players like Valderrama knew where they were going to pass the ball before they received it.

And of course, there were plenty of pleasing sights in the stands as well.
