Our last beach

Lost in the jungle... again.
This is a top pick! ... 1st-minute goal from just inside half way (top left corner, just where I like it). Instead, I had a good taste of why Colombia didn't make the World Cup this time. Passing? Crossing? What the hell are you talking about? They seemed more comfortable with ...

Diving & Skiving
