Location: Giants Stadium East Rutherford, NJ
Date: Wed, Aug 20 2008
Time: 8:00 PM
Prediction: I look for low scoring tie, 0-0 or 1-1.
Colombia and Ecuador have announced that they will play an exhibition game on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at Giants Stadium at 8:00 p.m., ET. The match will help both teams prepare for the next round of World Cup qualifying games in September.
It is unusual that these two teams have scheduled this friendly as they met only a couple of weeks ago in a World Cup qualifying game held in Ecuador where they drew 0-0.
Colombia is led by stars like Aquivaldo Mosquera (Sevilla / Spain), Agustín Julio (Santa Fe/Colombia), Hugo Rodallega (Necaxa/ Mexico), Radamel Falcao (River Plate/ Argentina), and Watson Rentería (Porto/Portugal). In the current South American World Cup qualifying Columbia sits third behind Paraguay and Argentina.
Ecuador is led by stars like Christian Benitez (Santos Laguna/ Mexico), Patricio Urrutia (Liga Universitaria de Quito/Ecuador), Ivan Hurtado (Millonarios/Colombia), Carlos Tenorio (Al-Sadd/Qatar) and Antonio Valencia (Wigan Athletic/England). Ecuador is currently eighth in South American qualifying with five points.
Tickets are available for this game starting as low as $41.
