Tournament squad
Colombia 1994
86 attack · 80 defence
Francisco Maturana·4-2-3-1
85OVR
Maturana's 1994 Colombia. Valderrama as the pass, Asprilla as the chaos, Rincón as the runner — a favourite that ran into a World Cup that did not care about favourites.
People open this squad and immediately queue Argentina 1986. That pairing is a rivalry in the catalogue, not a historical fixture unless the years actually met.
Same club, other years in the database: 2026, 2014.
Tags on the page — technical midfield, star playmaker, counter attack — are shorthand for how the model leans, not a documentary.

Not a vibe — ratings
Counter-attack 80: the point is the break, not the concert. Midfield 88 is where this side actually lives. Possession sits at 60, not a religion.
