In preparation of the 2000 Major League Soccer season, then-MetroStars manager, Octavio Zambrano, was looking for a strike partner for Adolfo Valencia. 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. 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.
International career
Comas has made a few appearances for the Colombian national team. 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.
