Colombia venció a Jordania pero el 9 sigue sin aparecer: el dilema de Lorenzo antes del Mundial 2026

I'm already in the United States, covering the World Cup with ESPN and Disney Plus, and before everything kicks off, I want to tell you what I saw in Colombia's last friendly. The team showed some very good things: James is a different beast with the national team, John Arias was the most outstanding player with two goals and a mobility that generates the organized chaos we so desperately need. But there's something that worries me, something I've been noticing for a while: the number 9s of this cycle—Suárez, Córdoba, Cucho—can't seem to get involved in the team's play. It's not a problem of quality or attitude; it's that the system isolates them. There's also an interesting tactical question: Puerta or Richard Ríos? Daniel Muñoz or Santiago Arias, who got into the box more than the starting full-back himself? In 10 days, we play against Uzbekistan. The injury report is more positive than what we saw against Croatia and France. This is Colombia: imperfect, but with goals, mobility, and James. 👉🏻 Subscribe to my channel.
