Rodriguez, known internationally by his first name, hurt his left shoulder in a 2-0 victory over the United States to open the tournament.

“Colombia had some good quality and I think we all had an excellent game”. Paraguay Manager Ramon Diaz believed his side deserved to win against Costa Rica.

Colombian midfielder Sebastian Perez said his team needs to take their chances against Paraguay.

“Paraguay played really well. We put in a good shift, especially when they had the better of the game”, he said.

Adidas has a history for its slick advertising campaigns but its latest might leave a few heads in hands after billboards and posters featured a glaring spelling error of the Colombia national football team that read “Columbia”.
