Market15 Nov 2027

Jorge Sanguina puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Colón, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Nov 2027

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.

Boardroom15 Nov 2027

The numbers do not look good at Colón

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Market15 Nov 2027

The Matías Budiño talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Colón know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Federico Lértora asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market15 Nov 2027

The shop window has Julián Marcioni in it

Colón have let the market know Julián Marcioni can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Colón count the cost of losing Julián Marcioni

104 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market16 Aug 2027

Only the photograph left for Bautista Maillier

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Bautista Maillier will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colón the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Colón

Pier Barrios 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.

Match14 Aug 2027

Nicolás Thaller sends Colón past San Telmo

It finished 3‑1, and it was Nicolás Thaller’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Colón.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Colón count the cost of losing Federico Lértora

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Ignacio Lago in the eights

A performance of 8.68 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

A masterclass from Nicolás Thaller

Marked 8.53 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

A masterclass from Iván Barbona

Marked 8.26 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Federico Rasmussen in the eights

A performance of 8.15 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Federico Rasmussen shuts the door

Defensive actions: 27, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Facundo Castro out for 108 days

The medical room confirms 108 days on the sidelines for Facundo Castro, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market9 Aug 2027

Gian Piaggio asks to leave Colón

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market9 Aug 2027

Colón say no — this time

The offer from Oviedo for Bautista Maillier was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad9 Aug 2027

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.

Player ratings9 Aug 2027

Nobody could get near Matías Godoy

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings9 Aug 2027

One of those days for Darío Sarmiento

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.28, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match7 Aug 2027

Darío Sarmiento sends Colón past Central Norte

It finished 1‑0, and it was Darío Sarmiento’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Colón.

Boardroom9 Aug 2027

134% of the income goes out in wages at Colón

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Match17 Jul 2027

No end in sight to Colón's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Colón has to find a result from somewhere.

Market19 Jul 2027

Federico Lértora hands in a written request

“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.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Federico Rasmussen in a row with a teammate

Squad19 Jul 2027

Federico Rasmussen 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.

Match17 Jul 2027

Nueva Chicago take the points off Colón

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Loan watch19 Jul 2027

Iván Ojeda counts the days

“I watch every Colón game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Atletico Bucaramanga runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings19 Jul 2027

Jorge Sanguina leaves them behind him

Shots: 7. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Facundo Castro leaves them behind him

Shots: 5. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
