Coca-Cola apologizes for offensive tweet directed at Colombia's Faryd Mondragon

Colombian goaltender Faryd Mondragon became the oldest player to compete at the World Cup when he was inserted as a substitute against Japan with his country already assured a place in the knockout stage.

To most Colombians, it was a moment of nostalgia and a fitting tribute to a man who participated in five World Cup qualifying campaigns. Unfortunately, a certain multi-national, billion-dollar drink company seized the opportunity to mock the 43-year-old.

Coca-Cola Colombia taunted the keeper on Twitter, suggesting that Mondragon was "crying" because he will be "unemployed" when he returns home.

The company issued an apology and explained that a group of fans were selected to narrate the game with the account.
