There were years when James Rodríguez seemed finished, drifting through clubs and falling out of the conversation entirely. Then the 2024 Copa América arrived and the playmaker was reborn, the creative heart of a Colombia side that went 28 matches without defeat. That run ended only in the final, beaten by Argentina, and the near-miss became fuel rather than grief. Néstor Lorenzo, the Argentine appointed in 2022, has shaped a fluid 4-2-3-1 that lives on patient circulation and the threat of Luis Díaz cutting in from the flank, with Jhon Durán waiting in the box. It is Colombia's seventh tournament and their first since missing out in 2022. Drawn in Group K alongside Portugal, DR Congo and Uzbekistan, they have the tools to finish second and push toward the quarter-finals.
