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. ♥️⚽️🇨🇴

Walking back from the beach where I had a very quick dip. Shorts and flip flops on. September 30th on the Costa Del Hove.

Ballon d’or? Ballon Snore more like. It’s as much a true reflection of football as Eurovision is a genuine musical talent competition. It’s all politics, a skewed popularity contest. Some great players on the list, but some of the ordering is horrendous.

Colombia ranked 14 by FIFA. Top 9 are seeded for WC draw? So need to overtake Germany, Morocco, Italy, Croatia and Mexico… with friendlies vs Mexico, Canada, New Zealand & an African side scheduled before the Dec 5th draw. That friendly vs Mexico suddenly looking huge!

Colombia are going to be a team to watch at the World Cup in 2026.

If you want to read more about the complex footballing history of my motherland, including the disaster that unfolded the last time they contested a World Cup in the USA, then check out my book Narcoball ♥️☠️⚽️🇨🇴

Wondering why Ecuador only have 29pts? It all dates back to qualifying for 2022 WC when they were found to have used a document containing false information (the date & place of birth of a player who it was alleged - incorrectly - was ineligible). 3pts deducted for ‘26 quali.

Two separate issues! Used double the tomatoes needed and then (briefly) confused the turmeric and cumin…. Back caused by posture while writing, and cooking!

First day back at school for the little one so 1st day for me to get back into the life/work juggle again, and boy am I lacking match fitness! Wrote over 3k words but then flagged badly, to the extent that I made 2 major mistakes while cooking dinner. And now my back is killing!

🦂 30 yrs ago. Wow. But long before this René Higuita changed the game of football with his skill in the revolutionary sweeper keeper role. He’s a huge part of our global football story, and a big character in my book Narcoball: Love, Death & Football in Escobar’s Colombia.
