Fabrizio Méndez, an economics student at Cal State Northridge, clung to a cross for more than 120 minutes and prayed to God with great beliefs for a "miracle" so that the Brazilian soccer team could defeat their European counterpart.

But, Medellin's fresh son's ask for a penalty shootout for the Soccer World Cup was denied as a result. Colombia was eliminated.

God is the Almighty. He is the single I asked for victory, but his techniques are different from those of man, the coffee enthusiast said.

In the last moments of ordinary time, Jaminton Leandro Campaz, who had a defining role for the South American team, was able to define the destiny of the nation and bounce the ball over the crossbar, disappointment took over the fervent Colombian fans.

" Alas, we made it to the jackpot, which is exactly what happens. Orlando Camargo, a worker in the production department of a Los Angeles garment factory, said that "he who doesn't tally the targets sees them scored. "

Camargo claimed that Davinson Sánchez's charges shot, which hit the bar, and Juan Camilo" Cucho" Hernández's failure, whose charges was saved by Kobel, the European goalkeeper, were "fatal. "

Camargo, who never tired of yelling" This go Colombia! ," said Camargo," We were small a share for the peso! " This travel to Colombia!

The caffeine team's best performance came during Brazil's 2014 FIFA World Cup. The South American team placed fifth in history during that version before being eliminated by Brazil, the host (1-1 ) in the playoffs.

Colombia won all of its class stage matches that year, and James Rodrigues won the Golden Boot and the Puskás Award for the best goal of the year as the championship's leading scorer with six goals.

The absence of concept

" In the last match against Ghana, I saw Colombia very strong," said Bogota resident Rafael López, the husband of Brazilian Yenny Salazar. The Brazilian people arrived tired from so many journeys between Mexico, the United States, and Canada, and in the sentence battle, the victory was for either of the two. Los Angeles-based pair were accompanied by their child Leslie.

Tito Pineda, a 59-year-old Mexican-American carpenter, added that the coffee team "had been playing with strength in defense and with strength in attack, Lucho [Daz ] is very good, but he was not given the opportunity to score. " " Colombia lacks description.

His wife, Adriana Godoy, a servant and native of Bogota, claimed Guiomar, her family, inherited her passion for football.

He claimed that "my family knew every member of the national squad by name. "

At La Casita con Sabor Colombiano, Cristóbal Aguirre, a half-Salvadoran and half-Colombian bartender who lives in Los Angeles, shared his table with his compatriot Ariela Duarte and Guatemalan Rachel López.

“I had three tickets and my friends didn't come, so I didn't have any problem inviting the girls,” Cristóbal said.

While he enjoyed a mixed rice dish, Ariela said she could not eat anything that was not kosher food, food prepared according to the dietary laws of Judaism, which are based on biblical origins.

“The game was tight in the midfield,” said Juan Carlos Benavides, from Ibagué, who came to the United States to experience the Soccer World Cup with his wife Martha Guzman, his son Andrés, and his wife, Juliana Montero.

“Don't worry, when the weekly comes back there will be a goal from Colombia,” shouted Betty Valdez, an employee of the Colombian restaurant.

“Let the dessert come for free!” added Orlando Camargo, when the television signal went away, at minute 62 of the game.

Undeterred, his wife, Rocío Moreno, enjoyed a delicious ajiaco valluno, a traditional dish that originated in the Colombian Andes region, specifically in the Sabana area of ​​Bogotá. It is a thick soup that is prepared with different types of potatoes, shredded chicken, corn, guascas (an aromatic herb), onion, garlic and heavy cream.

“Double dessert!” Camargo demanded when, for the second time, the broadcast signal was lost, at minute 79.

Orlando Camargo analyzed that it was a close match between two teams that used all their tactics to maintain containment.

“As we said when we played in the street, whoever scores a goal wins and will advance to the next round,” he commented. "Colombia made history in the World Cup with a compact team and notable sacrifice. We played a good game and we died with our boots on...and well, whoever wins enjoys it, and Switzerland beat us."
