Words exchanged at Colon

Leandro Méndez 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Franco Aguirre steps up from the Colon academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Franco Aguirre has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Camilo Gomez steps up from the Colon academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Camilo Gomez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Colon promote Juan Varela from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Juan Varela has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match8 Aug 2026

Atenas take the points off Colon

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Diego Núñez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Diego Núñez, and the manager let it.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Alejandro Gimenez faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Alejandro Gimenez after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

A row about effort at Colon

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Agustín de Armas was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Andrés Olivera stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Andrés Olivera and Colon agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Colon

Anthony Sosa 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.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Leandro Méndez

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match1 Aug 2026

Leandro Méndez the difference as Colon beat Albion

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Leandro Méndez. 1‑0 against Albion, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Agustín Chopitea

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Agustín Chopitea, and the manager let it.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Andrés Olivera's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Leandro Méndez

7.89, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Colon had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Colon are still strangers to each other

22 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.
