Venezuela vs Colombia: Players’ Pre-Match Celebration

The South American qualifiers on the way to the World Cup in North America 2026 left several contrasts.

On the one hand, the classification of the Bolivia selection to the repechage, allows them to dream of returning to a World Cup after 32 years of absence (helped by the win of Colombia to Venezuela) and, in addition, to win the Brazil of Carlo Ancelotti.

But before the results, in the Monumetal stadium, in Maturín, there was a particular image, before the Venezuelan team went to the Gramilla.

“The exciting moment! The Vinotinto players jumped to the Gramado of the Maturín Monumental stadium crossing a corridor formed by historical legends of the National Team. It is the game of all Venezuelans,” they said in the television broadcast of that country.

The act, which sought to be a stimulus for the team, was perceived by much of public opinion as an excess of confidence and a premature celebration.

The scene was even commented during the transmission of the party, where a journalist stressed the symbolic burden of the moment.

“Here all the path of transpiés, humiliations and win against”Said the journalist in the transmission.

After knowing the video, the memes and the comments about what happened they did not wait. X users took the opportunity to use James Rodríguez or Memes of the flags of the Venezuelan National Team to make fun of the moment.
