Colombia’s national team will have chance to redeem themselves from this summer’s elimination from the World Cup, when on Friday they face Brazil in a friendly match.

The notorious game where Colombia was kicked out of the World Cup after Brazil won the intense quarterfinal match-up 2-1, and Neymar was injured by Colombian full back Juan Zuñiga, will have both Colombians and Brazilians on the edge of their seats.

The two teams meet again on American soil in Miami with both team adding new players to their squads.

Recently announced Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao will join his Colombian brothers after he missed the World Cup match due to an knee injury, which kept him off the field for more than six month.

Brazil head coach and Luiz Scolari’s replacement Carlos Verri “Dunga” have chosen to bring back Robinho instead of Hulk who is not available because of an injury.
