Anyone who has read anything on Soccer Soap Box pretty quickly sorts out that I am a US Soccer supporter (and occasional complainer.) But after the United States, the country that gets the most coverage here is undoubtedly Colombia. Colombia is, after all, my adopted-by-marriage second country.

I've also been over-sharing Colombian related ideas lately because I was recently visiting the country (my ninth such visit if my math is correct) at the same time as my local team the New England Revolution was adding two and a half Colombian players and MLS is seeing an influx of Colombian talent.

The New England Revolution have finally begun the process of solving their issues at forward this week with the acquisition of Colombian target man Jose "Pepe" Moreno. The 30-year old striker joins the Revs on loan after a short stop with Once Caldas, where he scored 7 goals and 4 assists in twenty matches during the second half of 2011.

Many clubs are a few weeks into their pre-seasons and now that the international transfer window has shut, it is a good time to look at how each MLS side has done so far this winter. (Note: the MLS window doesn't close until April, which means players who failed to land new jobs in Europe can still head to MLS.

The Philadelphia Union are set to sign Colombian striker Lionard Pajoy, according to Kerith Gabriel, of the Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com.

A source informed Gabriel that Pajoy's contractual problems with his current team, Itagui Ditaires, have postponed his move to the Union for a short period of time.

To kickoff 2012, my first (and only) blog entry centered on a plea for the New England Revolution to be "blog worthy" in 2012. A hope that it would "show the fanbase how big the Revolution dream is, and steps you are taking to achieve it."

Given a week of activity, I'm concerned the team still cannot explain the vision of the team's future the way I'd like, but its actions actually give me hope.

By Dario Camacho - MIAMI, FL (Dec 19, 2011) US Soccer Players -- When you are a kid living in Bogota, Colombia there comes a time and realization that one day, you must pick a side. The eternal battle between the local teams, Millonarios and Santa Fe de Bogota is one of the countries oldest rivalries.

Todos amamos a los porteros que anotan goles, este miercoles en la liga colombiana se jugaba un lugar por los mejores puestos en la tabla, el partido parecia se iria sin goles, pero Santa Fe necesitaba urgentemente los tres puntos para poder clasificar a la post temporada, el portero Camilo Vargas tuvo criticas durante el partido, pero se lanzo de manera dramatica a buscar el remate de cabeza en el ultimo minuto del partido y de cabeza le dio la victoria a su equipo.

Si en la primera parte de la temporada el hype futbolero se llamó Gareth Bale, de navidades a esta parte el jugador del que todos hablan se llama Radamel Falcao García. Para los aficionados argentinos, El Tigre. O, como a él le gusta, Falcao a secas.
Mientras que la temporada pasada ya avisó con un golazo de tacón al Atleti, este 2011 se ha confirmado después de hacerle al Villarreal cuatro goles en medio partido.
