DAY 13

 

 

6/24/14. SALVADOR DE BAHIA - It may look like Mini Papi is about to take a corner kick in this picture, but what he is actually doing is supervising the work that it is being done on one of the Arena Fonte Nova's nets, a day prior to the Iran-Bosnia match.

 

Today, not only did Colombia move on as the Group C leader to the round of the best 16 teams in the World Cup, but also its goalie Faryd Mondragon -at the age of 43 years and 3 days old- became the oldest person to ever play in a World Cup game, surpassing the record of Cameroon's Roger Milla, who played in the 1994 World Cup at 42 years and 39 days of age.
