Falcao tips Colombia for the final as camp clip goes viral

Falcao: Colombia can reach the final

Radamel Falcao believes your team can go all the way. The former striker predicted Colombia will reach the World Cup final in 2026, speaking ahead of the Group K opener against Uzbekistan on 18 June (1).

"Colombia has the talent and the maturity to fight for the title," Falcao said, pointing to the experience in Néstor Lorenzo's squad and the attacking firepower that delivered a 7–1 win in warm-up play (1).

Not everyone agreed with the squad Lorenzo built. Falcao noted that Castaño's inclusion, without regular minutes at River Plate under Coudet, sparked real debate back home (1). Still, the belief is there. Your team's World Cup starts in two days.

That Yerry Mina and Jhon Arias moment

A clip of Yerry Mina and Jhon Arias from Colombia camp has gone viral, and not in the way either player would want (2). The footage, shared widely across social media, captures an uncomfortable exchange between the two during a training session in Guadalajara (2).

Neither the federation nor the players have commented publicly. With the Uzbekistan match 48 hours away, it is an awkward distraction.
