Uneasy

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colón can pretend not to have heard.

Pier Barrios in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Colón this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

120 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The Nahuel Curcio conversation is coming
Everyone has stopped pretending: Borneo will make the call about Nahuel Curcio this week. Colón have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

“I did not go to Agropecuario Argentino to sit and watch. I want to come back to Colón and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

Cup progress for Colón
A 1‑0 win over Vélez, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
Squad31 Aug 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Tempers go at Colón
Federico Rasmussen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A performance of 9.16 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Pier Barrios gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Lucas Cuffia has left for Cádiz in a $490.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.
Market17 Aug 2026
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Colón have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The manager makes an example of Facundo Castro
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Match15 Aug 2026
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Shots: 8, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

At 19 years old, Nehemías Portillo became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.

Marked 5.75, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.
