Colombia's way to Brazil was not easy because South American Qualifiers is the hardest in the world. Colombia classified at second place behind Argentina with 30 points 2 less than Argentina. Also Radamel Falcao, one of my idols, end as the 3rd best scorer in the qualifiers. This qualifiers were really special because Colombia havent classified to world cup in 16 years, and their last world cup was a total disaster in France 1998. Colombia start in Bolivia with a winnig at the last minute, then in Barranquilla we tie 1-1 with Venezuela and lost 2-1 with Argentina this made that the manager Leonel Alvarez got fire for this results.
Then Jose Pekerman was hired and a changed feel in Colombia the first match of Pekerman was against Peru in Lima and they won 1-0, but then in Ecuador we lost 1-0. Then in Barranquilla we made a great win against Uruguay 4-0 and then in Santiago we won to Chile 3-1. Then in Barranquilla against Paraguay was a hard match but Falcao resolved the problem with two great goal, and again in Barranquilla we won to Bolivia 5-0. Then we went to Venezuela where we lost 1-0 and then we made a great result with Argentina in Buenos Aires with a draw 0-0. Then two matches in Barranquilla against Peru were we won 2-0 and against Ecuador we won 1-0.
In Montevideo we lost against Uruguay 2-0 and we only needed a tie against Chile to be other time in the World cup. And we did it we start loosing 3-0 at the first half but at the second half with two goals of Falcao we tie the match 3-3 and this put as in the world cup after 16 years of absence. Then in Asuncion against Paraguay we won 2-1 with two goals of our captain Mario Yepes. Then we found out that in our World cup group we need to play against Japan, Ivory Coast and Greece. Also a bad new surrounded Colombia in this moment and is that our greatest figure Falcao got injured and needs a recuperation about 4 to 6 months and is not sure if he is going to be in the World Cup.
