| Workers go crazy in Paloquemao market as Colombia scores its second goal. I'm afraid I suffered permanent hearing loss. |
A few scenes of celebration - and
futbol paraphernalia - in central Bogotá today during and after the Colombia-Greece football game, which Colombia one overwhelmingly.
Today, they're celebrating. Tomorrow, they'll wake up to a country that still has a civil war, lots of poverty, hunger and other troubles. Hopefully, the presidential election will get as much attention as this match did.

 |
| Employees of Paloquemao Market. |
 |
| They're not subtle. |
 |
| Celebrators from a nearby 'Canadian' language academy cross an overpass above Carrera 45 near the Universidad Nacional. |
 |
| The academy celebrators near the Universidad Nacional cheer Colombia's victory. However, the sign they're carrying is about emigration to Canada. |
 |
| The mural on the Universidad Nacional campus says 'Rebel Football, dignified and popular.' |
 |
| The girls and the puppy are all dressed in the Colombian uniform. |
 |
| Selling pirated jerseys on San Victorino Plaza. |
 |
| Workers in Paloquemao Market watch the big screen. If not for that screen, would they have come to work? |
