#哥伦比亚VS葡萄牙

Guys, tomorrow at 7:30 AM, the battle for top spot in Group K: Colombia 🇨🇴 vs Portugal 🇵🇹.

Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodríguez—just putting those two names together tells a story. At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, James exploded onto the scene, scoring 6 goals in 5 games to win the Golden Boot. That year, Ronaldo was still at his peak, but Portugal was eliminated in the group stage. Eleven years have passed—41-year-old Ronaldo just scored a brace in the last round, becoming the only player in history to score in six consecutive World Cups. 34-year-old James’s market value has plummeted from 80 million to 2 million, but that golden left foot is still there.

This is likely the last time the two will play against each other on a World Cup stage.

Colombia has already secured advancement with two wins and 6 points; a draw would guarantee first place in the group. Portugal has 1 win and 1 draw for 4 points, and only a win can snatch the top spot.

One can afford to defend, the other must attack. At the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, this is bound to be an unequal battle.
