Tonight Colombia U20 take on Spain in a World Cup 1/4 final, and then just a few hours later the men’s side play Mexico in a friendly in the USA.

If you’re interested in the history of Los Cafeteros, or the history of Colombia, then why not check out my book Narcoball?

The Crishtian Mosquera situation is a funny one. Already a brilliant defender for Spain U21, and Arsenal fans starting to realise they’ve bagged a gem. But it doesn’t seem like he’s keen to switch allegiance to Colombia even though he’d surely get in the full squad.

Friday. Trying to record a video for the Italian publishers of Narcoball (Amore, Morte e Calcio Nella Colombia di Escobar)… painful! Still, delighted it’s going to be out in Italy 🇮🇹 in just a few weeks.

Davinson Sánchez has been an absolute rock for Colombia for a long time now. Tonight, playing for Galatasary against Premier League champions Liverpool in the Champions League is a huge test but also a great opportunity for him to remind everyone of just how good he is. ♥️⚽️🇨🇴
