With the World Cup well underway this summer, Yerson Mosquera discusses discusses the greatest football show on earth before taking readers on his favourite travels around the globe.
First memories
I remember the moment when Colombia got to the quarter-final against Brazil. The game against Uruguay was amazing, when James [Rodriguez] scored. Also, when we played against England and Yerry Mina scored in the last minute – a lot of memories. In 2010, the Spain final was amazing as well.
Favourite goal
I have a good memory for the [Robin] van Persie goal against Spain – the header was an amazing goal. Also, Iniesta against the Netherlands was an amazing goal.
Watching World Cups
I watch with friends and family, but usually in other homes to see the match. When I was younger, my dad and mum were strict, so I couldn’t stay out after 8pm. I had good rules in the house, which is really important.
Playing at one
It would be amazing.
First holiday abroad
I think it was Japan with the national team. We played there and it was amazing – I want to go again, and also Korea. It’s the furthest I’ve travelled – I think it was 22 hours, five to Mexico and then 17 to Japan, then we drove two hours to the hotel.
Last country visited
I went to Uruguay for Santi’s [Bueno] wedding last summer, it was amazing and I loved it. I was with Sasa [Kalajdzic] and Enso [Gonzalez] to support him outside of football – it’s important to have good relationships.

Favourite trip
I’ve been to Norway, and it was amazing. I had the opportunity to see the Northern Lights and they were beautiful. I went with Enso [Gonzalez] and we were lucky to see the natural lights.
Bucket list
I’ve not visited Korea, but I want to go. I spoke a lot with Channy [Hwang] and I need to go.
