Struggling a bit today after that late night watching the Colombia u20 side lose very narrowly to Argentina. As a Colombia fan living in the UK, time differences are not my friend!
Might try and begin to rectify a big gaping hole in my TV series watching tonight…

I have approximately 2hrs between Mrs Writerman’s 10pm bedtime and the midnight KO for the Colombia vs Argentina U20 semi.

Time to dive into The Shield!

Getting nervous a full 9hrs ahead of tonight’s midnight (UK time) kick off for Colombia vs Argentina in the semi finals of the FIFA u20 World Cup… some big absences to cover for due to injury and suspension, Neíser Villarreal the obvious one.

♥️⚽️🇨🇴
My two footballing nations, Colombia and England, have both qualified for World Cup 2026. Happy days. Just hope they don’t play each other this time…

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.
99p and your weekend reading sorted.

Bosh.

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.

Colombia U20 World Cup 1/4 final at 9pm on Saturday night, but can I also manage to stay up/get up for the 2am kick off for the men’s team friendly vs Mexico?

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. ♥️⚽️🇨🇴
