Colombian Copa Postobon: OMG, I LOVE THIS LEAGUE TO DEATH!

The Colombians play, like, the most intensely interesting football! It is my favourite by far. The players are soooo talented, and they all play with a style according to each of their own personalities! IMO, this is why they do not excel as a national team. They are wild! They are undisciplined, a lot of them. But the football is so great to watch! And these are my four favourite teams, in order:

1) Junior de Barranquilla: Favourite player: Geovanny Hernandez
2) Deportivo Cali: Favourite player: Juan Dominguez.
3) Atletico Nacional: Favourite player(s): Giovanni Moreno, Gaston Pezzutti.
4) Millonarios: Favourite player: None!

2) Bordeaux: Favourite player(s): Yoann Gourcuff, Marouane Chamakh, Benoit Tremoulinas.
3) St. Etienne: Favourite player(s): Augusto Fernandez, Gonzalo Bergessio, Loic Perrin.

EDIT: Aaagghhh! I forgot I like the Uruguayan league too.

Favourite team(s): Penarol: Player: Jonathan Urretavizcaya.
Second favourite: Nacional de Montevideo: Player(s): Sebastian Coates, Alvaro Gonzalez, Rodrigo Munoz.
