James Rodríguez at 34 is back at his best World Cup form since 2014 — when he won the Golden Boot with 6 goals. At Copa América 2024 he led Colombia to the final (lost to Argentina in extra time) and won player of the tournament. Beside him: Luis Díaz (now at Bayern), Lerma, a young generation making its world-stage debut. In Group K, Portugal are favourites, but Colombia will hurt them. For the first time since 2014, they smell a serious World Cup run. Round of 16 is the minimum, quarter-final very realistic, semi-final not impossible if James sustains player-of-the-tournament level throughout.
