  1. Tifo as a Colombian, I would like to express my deepest gratitude, much obliged. Your rigour and thoroughness are fantastic. I really enjoy watching all your videos. This is a Dark and sad chapter of the history from Colombian football. Thank you

  2. Imagine thinking someone playing better cus their families and own lives were threatend…This ain't anime bruv, most people play best under a slight pressure. (no pressure is usually not good) but too much is especially not good

  3. As always, the video production is very good but I don't think it is fair to use that title, as you mentioned during the video , it is still unclear what happened. You cannot just assume that is correct, the title can bring foreigners the impression that in Colombia players could die if they didn't perform well and that is not a given. Don't get me wrong, the drugs cartels had and still have influence and did terrible things but just telling to the world that he was killed for scoring an own goal is not very ethical if there's no proof of that.

  4. A very sad story for Colombian football, drug dealers have done a lot of damage to the sport and the country, and people like that César Gaviria and other politicians have also been linked to those terrible groups. Hopefully the country will move forward from drugdealing and violence

  5. Andrés Escobar… I was 14 when that happened and I felt (like many other Colombians) a mix of anger, sadness, disbelief as nobody could understand why but at the same time we all understood why… the nonsense of the violence that we had to live as a daily thing… but most of all a feel of shame, and I think I'm right when I say that almost every Colombian felt the same shame. Still to this day it remains as a dark spot among a myriad of dark spots that stains our story as a country and as a society
