Once compared to South-American counterpart Brazil by football maestro Pele, Columbia have seen nothing but a massive downfall in the last decade or so besides their surprising Copa America victory in 2001. Usually known for their dribbling and passing skills, Columbia have been unable to produce an icon figure to follow the likes of Valderrama, Asprilla, Rincon or Higuita in recent years. Watching Paraguay firing one missile after another into the Columbians net in their last meeting was agonizing. Unless coach Pinto comes up with a better strategy to lock down their defense tonight, the 5-0 score line against Paraguay might look more respectful than tonight’s outcome.
