It's football. It shouldn't be life or death.

I was looking at the Columbia supporters last night thinking how life must be so different for them. I would assume that only the very wealthy and well faciliated would travel, but the lawless nature of some countries in that region makes me wonder how people aren't living on their wits.
That said, it's all we get to hear about. It's shows that however much we try to ensure it doesn't, the media clouds our perceptions.

Thanks Greens :(
I was thinking about this during their match yesterday. Might be difficult for them to get five volunteers if one of their matches goes to penalties

I was seated near the directors box a couple years ago for the Colombia - Ireland friendly at Fulham's ground. Two things struck me, the brilliance of their passing football, and the govt officials from Colombia looking like central casting gangsters in their shades and heavy suits alongside their fur-coated molls

One of thge world cups darkest hours. Its a shame that FIFA haven't acknowledged this shameful event.
Colombia is about to become a BIG tourist destination. Things are changing in the country and it's already supposed to be the best country in South America to visit. It's much safer than it used to be, and it has some amazing things to see. I haven't been, but everyone I've spoken to who has says it is fantastic.

Great documentary on ESPN called the Two Escobars, sure it can probably be found online, well worth a watch.
