Uneasy
Market13 Sep 2027
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Colon is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Squad13 Sep 2027
Words exchanged at Colon
Ignacio Milans and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Squad13 Sep 2027
Agustín Chopitea falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Loan watch13 Sep 2027
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Colon, and 4 appearances in 35 say he has earned the hearing.
The dugout13 Sep 2027
Leandro Méndez knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Leandro Méndez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Market13 Sep 2027
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
Back issues

Steady
Squad5 Oct 2026
A fracture rules Ronald Álvarez out for 60 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Colon will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Market5 Oct 2026
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Agustín Rodríguez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colon the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Squad5 Oct 2026
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Colon know it.
Squad5 Oct 2026
A falling-out at Colon
Leandro Méndez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom5 Oct 2026
Wages swallow 269% of the Colon income
Every club 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 it has been tried.
Market5 Oct 2026
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Colon, another week without a signature from Nikola Perić.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Words at Colon training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nahuel Marzochi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
Ronald Álvarez 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.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
Ignacio Milans has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Colon will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Upbeat
Squad17 Aug 2026
The match ball belongs to Facundo Barreto, whose 6 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.
Squad17 Aug 2026
A fracture rules Ronald Álvarez out for 110 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Colon will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Squad17 Aug 2026
4 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.
Match12 Aug 2026
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Facundo Barreto obliged against Cooper. 12‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Colon.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Bruno Airaldi, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 10.00
A mark of 10.00 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.24, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Market17 Aug 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Colon is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
Squad17 Aug 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Colon this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
