 Colombia national football team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colombia entered the 1966 qualifiers with an amateur team from in and around Barranquilla, and finished bottom of their group behind Chile (who they defeated 2-0) and Ecuador.
The team has been peripherally involved in two of the greatest personal tragedies to hit football in recent years.

In American football, when a ball-carrier is tackled or exits the field of play within the end zone being defended by his team, the result is a safety and the opposing team is awarded two points.
