About

My introduction to football came in the late 1980's when I used to hear stories about Atletico Nacional and the Colombian National Team from my uncle who grew up in Medellin, Colombia.

Over time, I slowly started to broaden my horizons and learn more about soccer throughout the rest of the world. By the time I went to college, I was submerged into the world of the EPL and European football in general.

Ever since, I have been an Arsenal supporter, but my roots are always going to be Green and White (Atletico Nacional) and with the Colombian National Team.

    i'm trying to create a section in Bleacher Report for Colombia, so that when people go on the website they can find links to articles about the NT and any of the club teams as people write articles in the future. i started a section where you can post a question or comment about adding things to Bleacher Report and could use everyone's help.

    all i ask is that you go to the link below and simply add a comment that requests adding the country of Colombia to the soccer section, especially since there are so many other countries listed that are probably not generating that much attention.

    i really appreciate your help here and am working on trying to create more awareness about our NT through my articles here in the states - your contributions will be most appreciated!!
