Wow - this is a team with a lot of pretty players. Though I must admit I don't know them at all. I don't think I have ever watched a Colombian league match, and if you had asked me which Colombian teams I could name, my answers would've been Independiente Medellín and Once Caldas. Those are honestly the only ones I would have been able to mention.

Anyway, nice to get to know at least something about a new team. And you're right that Villate was cute... though I think Robayo was my favorite from these pictures.

Thanks for your comment! The fact you've never watched a Colombian league match but know two of the teams is impressive! :)

I started watching because GOLTV shows the matches here. Once I started I couldn't stop. It's very addictive, not only for the pretty, but for the amazing individual skills these usually slender, speedy, long-legged players have. They play a regional style, as do the Brazilians and the Argies, and like them, it's different and unique to themselves.

Robayo is awesome. To see him is to love him. An incredible player. :)
