The goal of Yerry Mina in the rebound gave life to Colombia tied the score 1-1, but in the definition by penalties led by Jose Pekerman ended up losing 4-3 and this was the England who advanced to the quarterfinals.
For commentators on the BBC, the result was just because of the tactics used by Colombia since the beginning of the game.
"They were horrible, they did not deserve to win." They showed a total lack of discipline. ", said former Chelsea player Chris Sutton.
The same opinion of the former Englishman Chris Waddle," They were supposed to come and teach good football and since the beginning of the match they sprained and intimidated the referee "
" I hope that they will give him a huge fine for the cards, it was a tough match for him. American referee. he added. "I think he was afraid to make decisions."
"I would feel destroyed if we had not moved forward."
Despite harsh criticism, commentators of the BBC have highlighted the Colombian reaction.The former international Terry Butcher, who up to then had described as "anti-football" the Colombian performance, stressed that " was causing problems in the England when they started playing . "
And Waddle pointed out that After the Mina goal" The inflated Colombia, with the support of the public. "
BBC News Mundo Editor of sports, José Miguel Pinochet, said that Colombia should not be criticized without understanding the context.
"It was a World Cup in which Colombia was still in tow since the injury of James", explains Pinochet
"Then came the red card against Japan, the defeat after 86 minutes with one man less and risk his life. "
" Against England, without James, went out to play his cards and narrowly won the ranking, which was ultimately the goal. "
" What I wonder is what would have happened if Pekerman had dared to play a little more offensive from the beginning, with Bacca or Muriel accompanying Falcao "
Before the match, South American football specialist BBC Tim Vickery had pointed out the notorious absence due to an injury of James Rodriguez, predicting that Colombia would have difficulty getting bullets to reach the Tiger.
