Can James Rodríguez Light Up the World Cup Like He Did in 2014?

ESPN’s Anirudh Menon wrote more on whether James Rodríguez can ‘rekindle the magic of 2014.’

“The 34-year-old has had injuries beset his career, but the magic remains in his boots; and if he can rekindle it on the biggest stage, this Colombia attack will take some stopping. With the incessant running of Diaz and Arias, and the poaching instincts of Suarez up top, Rodriguez could have a field day as playmaker at this tournament. For that, he needs to start strong — and against a defensive minded Uzbekistan, his ability to pick a lock will be critical for Nestor Lorenzo and his men.”

Colombia will play its matches in Group K. The Colombians start their World Cup campaign on June 17 in Mexico City, Mexico, against debutants Uzbekistan. Six days later, they take on DR Congo in Guadalajara. For their final group stage match, they travel to Miami, Florida, to take on Portugal on June 27. The two group winners and the eight best third-placed teams from each group will advance to the next stage.

Colombia Schedule

• June 17 – Uzbekistan (9 pm EST)
• June 23 – DR Congo (10 pm EST)
• June 27 – Portugal (7:30 pm EST)
