The story of Colombian football and the World Cup that never was

These Football Times

South America is one of the great hotbeds of football, and in this series we explore the different countries of the continent. In each episode of The South America Files, we'll be looking at how the game has developed in each nation, the clubs, the players, the joys and despairs. Guided by our South American football expert Dr Pete Watson, we start off in Colombia and take a look at the World Cup that never was.
