In a few minutes, a crucial deciding game between Colombia and Ecuador will begin.  These are the World Cup 2006 Qualifying Trials for South America and Colombia is just shy of being in the top five teams to advance to Germany 2006.  I don't know too much about fútbol but I know I need to learn more about this sport which is a Latin American passion.  It is part of the culture here and to know fútbol would be to know a little more about Colombia and Latin America.  If Colombia wins this game against Ecuador, it will jump ahead to fourth place.  If it loses, it will be all but eliminated as a contending South American team to advance to the World Cup.  Passions and hopes are running high here right now, after Colombia played dominantly against Peru last Saturday, winning that game 5-0.

Follow the game here!
