In old forum was made it Colombia 1990-1994 but i decided do this more complete threat with all Colombian golden generation, from 1987 Copa America and debut of Francisco Maturana in Colombia national team to 1996 that was the first half of qualification to word cup in France 1998 where Colombia was first and undefeated and was elected the best national team of America by France Football Magazine also Hernán Darío Gómez was elected the best coach of America and Faustino Asprilla was the top scorer of tournament as well.
I elected 1996 and not 1997 or 1998 because in 1997 started the debacle of Colombian football losing against Argentina in Colombia in the first match of second half of qualification to France 98 after that Colombia never could recover it old level. The biggest example was the very mediocre world cup played by Colombia in France.
Also i took into account some players that were part of Colombian golden generation but they have not to much opportunities in National team, but they have great performances at club level not only in domestic tournament also in international tournaments as Libertadores cup, were Colombian clubs reached important performances in that era reaching at least semifinals in all Libertadores cups from 1985 to 1996.
