      It was never a penalty, that’s why they reacted the way they did. Colombia was a superior team overall. England scored only because of the penalty that was given to them by a terrible referee that should never step foot in a soccer field ever again. Quit pretending like you guys were angels and own up to winning because of help from the ref.

      Talking about dirty??? how about the referee favoring England every time they foul Colombia then acting like they were hurt on every single foul, I don't know about you guys but if I was a Colombia player and I see this type of treatment from the Referee to England I would get piss too hence the many fouls after so much bullshit

      Do Colombians really feel cheated by this game? Can you honestly say you deserved to go through and behaved better than England? Handle your defeat with grace, it's embarrasing.

      FOR COLOMBIAN FANS: Copa America 2015, Neymar headbutts Murillo. Red card for Neymar.
      WC18: Barrios headbutts Henderson. No red card.
      Do you only agree with red cards for headbutts when its your opponent headbutting you ?
      –
      Neymar gets red card for headbutt on Murillo.
      Barrios DESERVED the same punishment.

      Wrong calls in favor of England:
      1. corner awarded to England instead of throw-in ~10'
      2. no yellow card (minimum) to england – kick to falcao's head (this is what angers Colombians, causes fouls for the next few minutes which result in 2 yellow cards). ~58'
      3. handball not given, dangerous freekick not awarded to Colombia ~85'
      4. foul awarded to england, it should have been for colombia + red card for Henderson ~100' (Henderson already had a yellow card)
      5. Goal play rolled back. why? The referee signals to go ahead with the throw-in. Once he sees the defender is distracted, he stops the play, claiming 2 balls on the field. The second ball doesn't go into the field because it is stopped by the linesman ~103'?
      6. No yellow card for Tripper, diving, trying to fool the referee ~105'
      7. No corner given to Colombia – 116'

      Wrong calls in favor of Colombia:
      1. Barrios Headbutt

      The kind of comments which explain why England is hated ALL AROUND the world. Win a game, come in press conference and make coward comments on the team you've just beaten

      Of course Colombia was playing DIRTY you ignorant fucks. You THINK – or rather, you PRETEND they don't notice the referee favoring the opposing team? You think they're gonna play all happy and sportsmanly while the game is being robbed? FUCK NO!

      I'm half colombian and obviously a supporter of the Colombian NT but this was one of those moments where I simply could not aggree at all with my fellow countrymen. Colombia did play dirty and had an unsportsmanlike behaviour especially up until the english goal. Not that they needed to behave like that. Had they dropped the cowardly tactics from the beginning they could very well have won this game. The game turned into a much more even battle after Pekerman changed the lineup. I think that when Colombia learns to take responsability for their own shortcomings and mistakes they can improve enough to go far in tournaments like these.
      With that original defensive lineup there was no way that Colombia was gonna get anything out of this game. The best thing that could've happened to them was to receive an early english goal. I think that with James injured Pekerman probably thought that they had to bunker, which obviously turned out completely false.

      Be careful if/when u go to Colombia u saw what happened to Escobar (the player) we don't mess around there if someone says you will be killed If u go there were serious .So one more time BE CAREFUL!
