Colombia can seal progression against DR Congo

Win and you're through

Colombia can book a round of 16 spot Tuesday with a result against DR Congo. The 3–1 win over Uzbekistan put you top of Group K, and another strong performance in Guadalajara seals progression. Lorenzo has the squad settled, same control, same attacking fluidity.

Lorenzo wants fire and ice

Néstor Lorenzo has one message: balance. Passion without concentration gets punished at this level. He thanked the support in Guadalajara and made clear the squad is locked in, not looking past DR Congo.

Election chaos back home

Abelardo De La Espriella, the right-wing pro-Trump candidate, won the presidency by the narrowest margin. The result has sparked protests and clashes in Cali and Bogotá, with opponents demanding a full recount. The players have stayed concentrated on the football, but the tension at home is impossible to ignore.
