“Yes yes Paraguay, yes yes Caribbean”: The massive support of Colombians today for Paraguay to win or draw against Peru

The preview of the matches between Colombia-Venezuela, and Peru-Paraguay is being experienced intensely not only in the area around the stadiums, but also on social networks; because those led by Reinaldo Rueda need not only win in a place where the results have not been favorable.

In fact, of the last matches played in the neighboring country, Colombia has only won 1, which means that the statistics are not favorable; even so, many fans are still hoping for a good result in Puerto Ordaz, where the ticket office for this match is sold out.

In addition, Colombian fans expect a favorable score at the national stadium in Lima, where Peru will face Paraguay. The albiroja would have to draw or win to give a 'help' to Colombia, which has the obligation to add up to 3. That is why many in Colombia woke up this Tuesday “more Paraguayans than ever”.

This has been stated by several on social networks such as Twitter, where they did not hesitate to express their support for the team directed by Guillermo Barros Schelotto prior to the decisive match against those led by Ricardo Gareca, and despite the fact that no result serves him to play a quota for Qatar, the former coach of Boca Juniors does not hide his excitement when he knows that will be a “judge” of Peru and Colombia on the final day of the qualifying rounds.

“1% chance, 99% faith” is one of the premises that tricolor fans have to dream of a pass to the repechage heading to Qatar. In addition, there are not a few who wish the best of luck to the best team in the world, which is, 'clearly', Paraguay.

Why not think about the union of the two countries? It would be 'Paralombia'. In fact, something similar happened with the so-called 'Pact of Lima' in the qualifiers for Brazil 2018 when Colombia and Peru played. It is a pity that this agreement cannot be fulfilled this Tuesday, since both need the 3 points.

It is worth mentioning that, specifically, Colombia depends on itself and also on Paraguay, so more than one rose up with the Guaraní soul.

Is it possible to make a new 'Lima Pact' but with Paraguay and Colombia as members? Even the most optimistic thinks so.

Even the songs are addressed to the albirroja, and if all that support does not work, there is already the montage made by Javier Fernández with the Inca uniform to give 'good luck' to those directed by Gareca.

Some data from Venezuela-Colombia

The most common result between both teams was 0-0; in total, four matches have ended with this score. In addition, of the last 17 matches played, 'Vinotinto' has won five while 'Tricolor' has accumulated seven victories, also leaving the balance of five draws.

Now, a fact that could be positive for Rueda and company, is that the team led by José Néstor Pékerman has not scored in its last two outings; in contrast, Colombia broke its scoring drought last Thursday against Bolivia. In addition to that, the neighboring country's squad has been scored in each of their last 13 matches, but the coffee growers have not scored in three of their last 7 away games.
