Yo, if you are looking for a dark horse in the deep water of the World Cup tournament, how about Colombia? I think Colombia has an underrated chance to actually go very far in this tournament. I mean, so far through four games, they've only allowed one goal and none in their last three games. And they are known as one of the most organized teams in football under Neto Lorenzo. They defend well and they are dangerous on the counterattack. They have a nice little blend of experience with guys like James Rodriguez, Diaz, Rios, Sanchez, and Vargas and youth that can be dynamic, including Aras who scored the goal against Ghana to get them to the round of 16. And here's the thing, they are in the quadrant that has Argentina. And more than almost any other nation, Colombia is not scared of Argentina. And listen, Portugal was the favorite to win group K going into the tournament, but it was Colombia that actually won an advance. I love Colombia. I think Colombia has a shot. I like him at 59% to beat Switzerland in the next round. And then in the quarters, if they see Argentina, I like Colombia again. Viva, Viva, Viva, La Colia. There's a dark horse for the World Cup.
