BOGOTA, Colombia—It was before sunrise in Colombia when the celebrations began.
Colombia moves to Sydney for a knockout match Saturday against European champion England, which advanced on penalties after a scoreless draw with Nigeria on Monday. “I have a lot of confidence in the penalty box, I am cold-blooded there,” Usme said. “This goal is for God, who makes me brave, and for my family who cried and dreamed with me.”“I am the most proud mommy. I am always supporting her and sending her good energies,” Luz María Pineda said in a house that was turned into a sort of soccer museum with her daughter’s awards and pictures.
“They are writing their own history. Congratulations, Colombia is with you,” Falcao said on his social media channels.
