Biography

[edit]

Playing career

[edit]

In preparation of the 2000 Major League Soccer season, then-MetroStars manager, Octavio Zambrano, was looking for a strike partner for Adolfo Valencia.[1] After viewing a videotape of Comas, Zambrano invited the Colombian to join the MetroStars for training camp where he impressed enough to earn a contract.[1] Comas quickly formed a partnership with Valencia in the MetroStars attack and the two opened the season by each scoring a goal against rival club, D.C. United in front of 27,322 fans at Giants Stadium.[2]

International career

[edit]

Comas has made a few appearances for the Colombia national team.[1] One of those appearances was against Paraguay in a friendly before the 1998 FIFA World Cup, though Comas was not named to the roster for the World Cup in France.[1]
