Wales mate.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Bit off topic but i'd love to learn a bit about Colombian club football

Which are the biggest teams, are any of them comparable to Everton, who has the best fans etc.

Cheers in advance

Atlético Nacional, Deportivo Cali, Millonarios and Atlético Junior are some of the big ones. Deportes Tolima was horrible when I was growing up but in recent years have gotten much better winning the league a couple of years ago and currently they are on top of the table. I can't think of a team similar to Everton and its fan base but @UptheTofees is more knowledgeable than me with Colombian teams so I'm sure he will follow up soon with an answer for you.

Our new and lovely Colombians must spread the word more!

That said, the EFC you tube feed gets like 3 million views these days.

I

Loved that Colombian National team in the 90s. Valderrama is my all-time favorite player

I love el pibe Valderrama too and I was envious, the good kind, of his pretty hair.

Hmm

As @Sassy Colombian mentioned, we have some historic teams. Nacional being the most successful when you combine local and international success.

America de Cali is huge, but they became big once the cartel de cali invested in them.

Comparing with Everton? Junior has the best fan base. Comparing success? Millonarios I guess fits the bill. Historic team that has not been winning much recently. They even wear blue

Flint was a tiny county on its own once upon a time. I remember, cos I had a wooden jigsaw of all the UK counties, and Flint was the smallest piece. Rutland wasnt far behind mind.

Back on topic. Forza Colombia, or sommet.
