Colombia goes to the World Cup

By Oscar David Home (undergraduate FIGRI student, Level 6 English)

Colombia is a very passionate country about soccer, because soccer transmits joy and sorrow to us. It makes us mourn, shout and laugh, and all these feelings and actions are things we share with our friends and family. In short, with the people we love the most.

For many years, Colombia’s national team wanted to participate in the World Cup, but one person is not enough to make this happen. The national team needs to be a competitive team with excellent players who have the ability to face the world with great maturity and a winning attitude.

It is for this reason that in 2014, we can say that we have a team with these attributes, and also that this team has given us the satisfaction of participating in the soccer World Cup in Brazil. This is very important for us as a country, because it makes us more united, with one dream and one goal: in this case, that our national team can be the world champion.
