The memes left by the victory of the Colombian football team against Bolivia

Without Falcao García and with a James Rodríguez who has not fully recovered his level of other times, the Colombian team remains in search of the miracle that will allow it to be closer to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, fighting for a spot in the repechage, on the last date of the South American Qualifiers. The team is in position number 6, with 20 points, and depends on other results to achieve the goal.

The coffee growers beat Bolivia last night, at the Roberto Meléndez Metropolitan Stadium in the city of Barranquilla, led by Luis Díaz, who scored the first goal of the match and attended the second. Colombia won by 3-0. The other two goals were the work of Miguel Ángel Borja, today with Junior FC, and Matheus Uribe, at the service of Porto FC. Although the team did not have a very attractive game, they achieved what was required of them and several players performed well. Apart from the Liverpool FC winger, Gustavo Cuellar and Carlos Cuesta stood out for their performances, as did Daniel Muñoz, who came close to scoring twice.

It took a long time for the fans to shout a goal from the national team again and that gave way to humor taking over the situation. Since the first goal, memes flooded the networks. As always, they didn't let any detail slip away from them.

Now, the national team must play Venezuela, led by José Pekerman, and hope that everything will turn out in their favor. The main rivals are Chile and Peru. The team led by Martín Lasarte, who at some point sounded to lead Millonarios, were defeated yesterday by Brazil and on the last date they will face Uruguay, which is already qualified. For their part, those led by Ricardo Gareca receive Paraguay, which comes from beating Ecuador surprisingly and could complicate the Peruvians' qualification, despite the fact that the Guaraníes have already been eliminated.

Colombia must do its part with Venezuela. Winning is the only option. In the meantime, he must expect Peru not to beat Paraguay and that Chile does not add up to 3 against the Uruguayans. Thus, the coffee growers would be placed in the number 5 position with 23 points, beating the Peruvians by 2 units. If Peru tied their game, they would reach 22, just 1 point behind Colombia. The goal difference is useful in this case, that's why it was so good that yesterday it was won by 3. The remaining quota is to access the repechage, which does not ensure the arrival to the world championship, but it does place it quite close.

This is how the standings of the tie came out after yesterday's matches and considering that Argentina has not yet faced Venezuela:

Colombia visits Venezuela on Tuesday. The match will be played at 6:30pm (COL). Although the lineups are not confirmed, it is expected that Reinaldo Rueda's team will not be presented with a team very different from the one that beat Bolivia, apart from the fact that Juan Guillermo Cuadrado will not be able to participate due to accumulation of yellow cards. They could form like this:

Nothing is certain yet. We will have to see if the miracle is achieved. And whether yes, however not, more memes will circulate to fill the day with humor.
