Colombia 2 Paraguay 0

When it no longer mattered, Colombia finally showed some pizazz in beating Paraguay 2-0 in Ascuncion. Goals by Adrian Ramos and Hugo Rodallega sealed the win.

In other South American WCQ action, Brazil tied Venezuela 0-0, Peru beat Bolivia 1-0, Argentina stamped their ticket to South Africa with a 1-0 win over Uruguay and Chile ended Ecuador's hopes with a 1-0 victory. The great Humberto Suazo of Chile, El Chupete, was the top South American WCQ scorer with 10 goals.

Notice how it was all the Bolivarian countries (Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia) who did not qualify.

I didn't even bother watching because they could not mathematically qualify.

UC, did Paraguay field a first team? They had already qualified so they were just playing for show.

The frustrating thing is, this could be Colombia's most impressive result of the qualifying campaign. Paraguay until just now have been the second best team in South America this year, so to beat them away from home is really impressive. But the result didn't matter for either team, so it's hard to place any importance on this match.

Long gone are the days of El Pibe :(

I can now breathe a sigh of relief that my husband will stop going on about wanting to go to South Africa to see the World Cup now that Colombia is not in... (I don't hink that will stop him somehow tho...)

Colombia are such a frustrating team. They are undoubtedly good enough. They have decent enough players but for some reason just don't bond well.

Its interesting to see Martinez and Moreno in the squad though, they've looked useful in the last 3 games.

Paraguay fielded pretty much the same group of players that defeated Venezuela on Saturday. Interestingly enough, Paraguay has been unable to defeat Colombia in Ascuncion since 1998. Paraguay had previously defeated Colombia 1-0 in Bogota.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

My friend told me that Colombia has to beat Chile this weekend for what when they are out of the WC already? Revenge Factor?

"PAY ATTENTION! I wonder if that person knows that when we push the FUNNY button, its because we are reading something outrageous, trying to be cynical, derogatory, sarcastic and/or obnoxious!"
