Duvan Zapata?Shit,
This years break out guy in Serie A. 23 goals for Atalanta. This was his first international goal. 28 so bit of a late bloomer.
Wilmar Barrios is having a mini Sissoko performance as well. He's everywhere in the Colombian midfield. He has definitely benefited from moving to Europe.
Just finished first half of the Argentine/Columbia game. Scrappy half of football that was, definitely edged by Columbia. Best player for me that half was Cuadrado, showed some nice touches playing a more 8 type role - not really seen him play like that much. Lo Celso worked hard enough and showed a couple of decent touches, but this Argentina team is such a mess, set up in a 442 to accommodate Messi and Aguero
James Rodriguez is still a very good footballer. If someone could turn him into an 8 (like DeBruyne at City) in a 433, he could be well worth a punt. He's played that kind of role for Bayern at times, not sure it would work in the PL though.

Barrios is decent defensively - without the ball - but he's pretty one dimensional - He's not as good as 2017 Wanyama. He's certainly no Fernandinho is he. Can't say I'm devastated we passed on him.

Quieroz is a great appointment by the Colombian FA. He has them playing good football. If he gets a few years they could end up becoming a proper force in South American football.
queiroz is a world class national manager
Lovely ball by James Rodriguez, great goal by Martinez.
Decent second half that, Columbia definitely better tactically.
Just watching the Paraguay/Qatar game. Qatar aren't bad at football.
Great goal by Qatar who've been the better side in this game. Bit like Saudi at the WC, players technically very good, well coached, tactically just a little naive. Game on.
Lovely move for the equaliser for Qatar.
Passport/nationality scandal incoming.
That could apply to most nations these days to be fair.

Fair comment.... Just that I can well imagine a collection of 'ringers' hastily cobbled together for the WC.
Why not, been working for Ireland for 30 years.And England aren't averse to the odd bit of cobbling (cough Declan Rice).
I'd say that was a matter of opinion. : P
(I just find it comedically endearing.... I'm envisaging a Python-esque sketch feature a cast of Giovanni's, Pedro's, Klaus's, Trevor's and Vladimir's).
