Liverpool star Luis Diaz has spoken of his disappointment and vowed to get 'revenge' after Colombia failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.
Diaz’s side won't be at the World Cup later this year after his Colombia side failed to qualify for the showpiece event from their qualifying group. That's despite a 1-0 win over Venezuela in their last qualifying match.
Former Everton star James Rodriguez scored a penalty in first-half stoppage time, but it wasn’t enough for his team. That is because Colombia failed to overhaul Peru, who beat Paraguay 2-0 to secure fifth place.

By finishing fifth, Peru will now head to either Australia or the United Arab Emirates for a play-off match against a winner of the tie between those two sides. Brazil topped the section ahead of Argentina, with both sides finishing their respective campaigns unbeaten.
And speaking on the disappointment, Diaz wrote on Twitter: “Since I was little I dreamed of wearing this shirt and wearing it with pride in a World Cup. It hurts too much not to have achieved it.
“I keep wanting to fight for this dream, on my part you will have my commitment and know that I will leave everything to achieve that goal. We will have revenge.”
