Pretty amazing run up to the World Cup for them, losing once in 28 matches or something, including the 5-0 thrashing of Argentina in Buenos Aires. That Colombia team was actually good enough to win the whole thing, which made their collapse all the more painful.
It's been said by people who have nearly drowned that once they knew they were going to die, they all felt a deep shame, which is not what I'd expect to hear. After the feeling of shame, they said a wave (sorry) of euphoria came over them, just before they died/survived.
IMO, it would be a colossal mistake if he left us now. To go play for a side that rotates him in and out week to week would cripple his progress. I hope this is being stressed to him.
Well, if he goes, tripling the initial investment on Tekkers will make selling Bent for less than a third of what we paid for him a little easier to bear.
