The Plaza Colonia Chronicle

Plaza Colonia part company with Santiago Silva
The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

Anger at Plaza Colonia spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.
Match10 Feb 2029
Plaza Colonia taken apart
0‑5 to Nacional, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Matías Ferreira keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Plaza Colonia may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

26 days out for Cristian González after a fracture

Brian Caceres takes charge at Plaza Colonia
“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Tempers go at Plaza Colonia

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Plaza Colonia
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
