Call Ups for Colombia (Jonathan dos Santos on the list!)

Javier Aguirre has released the roster for the upcoming friendly against Colombia on September 30th, taking place in Dallas, TX.

Once again, it’s another friendly composed of nothing but local players, another mickey mouse friendly to be exact. However, Aguirre is giving Jonathan Dos Santos his first call up and hopefully, his first cap. All that speculation of Jonathan playing for Spain must finally stop! This is enough reason to be excited for this game, if you ask me.

One of the biggest surprises on the list: Braulio Luna. He’s back under Aguirre again and will be counted on once again for this friendly. A few other surprises: Patricio Araujo, Paul Aguilar, Enrique Esqueda and Javier Hernandez. Also glad to see Omar Arellano back. I’m also hoping Nestor Calderon finally gets his chance to play with el Tri.

As usual, don’t expect the “real” version of Mexico to be playing, despite 4-5 first teamers probably taking part in the match. It’s just another chance to rake in some cash warm up before the rest of the qualifiers next month, and to see el Tri in America!
