“Feria del Sol” Wraps up. Spirits are high.
By: Lugo | January 25th, 2008Despute losing 1-0 to Bucaramanga in the final game, The sharks prepare the return to Barranquilla (right in the middle of carnival, god help us…) to get ready for their first match agains Once Caldas in Cartagena. Why in Cartagena? Because the Metropolitano Stadium is suspended because last season some lowlife threw a battery to the face of the linesman. But don’t get me started into that, because I like writing about football, not vandalism.
Before the Bucaramanga loss, Junior soundly and convincingly beat Estudiantes Merida 4-2 and, according to reports, Giovanni was the main inspiration behind Junior’s creative wisdom. We just have to wait and see if such magic was real and it appears again when it matters, against the blanco, blanco.
Copa Colombia: One of the most interesting news this week is the possible creations of the Copa Colombia (Colombia Cup), a tournament featuring the 36 teams of the first and second divisions of Colombian soccer. So if the club presidents of the 2nd division teams approve it, like their first division counterparts, Colombia will have a cup tournament like the top leagues in Europe with Coppa Itaila, the FA Cup or Copa del Rey. If it goes through, the tournament will format include a first group stage of 6 groups divided regionally. For Junior, this means competing against five 2nd division sides (Union Magdalena, Real Cartagena, Cordoba FC, Valledupar FC and Barranquilla FC) thus reflecting that, nowadays, the Colombian Coast is the most depressed region in the counrty in footballing terms. That’s the reality that Junior has to change.
