COLOMBIA SCOUTING REPORT

DANGER MAN: Juan Quintero (25)

PORTO playmaker who ended last season on loan at River Plate. Plays behind the striker, with good vision and a sweet left foot. Deadly set-piece delivery. Two assists and a goal (free-kick under the wall v Japan) in the World Cup.

MANAGER: Jose Pekerman

THE 68-year-old coached his native Argentina at the 2006 World Cup, when they lost on penalties to Germany, a quarter-final which ended in a brawl. Much criticised, Pekerman quit. Named Colombia boss in 2012 and has proved popular.

WHAT ARE THEIR STRENGTHS?

THE centre-backs are a threat at set-pieces, Juan Cuadrado has speed, while Quintero, Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez are dangers.
