The Colombia National Team stayed out of Qatar 2022 despite beating Venezuela 1-0 in Puerto Ordaz after 26 years with James Rodríguez scoring. However, this victory was of no use because the 'Tricolor', in addition to winning, she had to expect Peru to fall in Lima to Paraguay, which did not happen.

Hours later, many are the ones who are responsible for this failure and few who assume and come to face the painful elimination. The truth is that what is done is done and Colombia committed many mistakes that led to this situation.

At the moment, the future of the national team is quite bleak and the continuity of Reinaldo Rueda is a paradigm and the same happens with several references that age and especially their football would not give them for the next world cup process.

The 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico and Canada, will be the first edition with 48 teams, so there is no excuse not to get a ticket to the orbital event that must be worked on from now on.

One of the strongest critics of the Colombia National Team has been Freddy Rincón. On several occasions the 'Colossus of Buenaventura' has been hard with the processes of the national team with both José Néstor Pékerman and the current one with Reinaldo Rueda.

During the broadcast of the program 'The best of the date' by Win Sports, he had as a guest Freddy Rincón, who did not hesitate to give his opinion after the elimination of the Colombian National Team.

First of all, for the historical Colombian, several members of the Colombian national team lacked humility and love for the shirt.

Similarly, Freddy pointed out James Rodriguez again, considering that the Al-Rayyan player has no level to be with Colombia and for this reason he should not be called.

In addition, the former Corinthians player from Brazil, assured that this misstep of the national team goes hand in hand with the present that Colombian professional football lives, which has lost prominence internationally.
