Colombia began the South American qualifiers well enough, collecting four points from their first two games before defeat at home to Argentina in their third outing spelled the end of Leonel Alvarez\u2019s reign as coach.
\nThe arrival of Jose Nestor Pekerman as his replacement represented a turning point for Los Cafeteros in their journey to Brazil 2014, with the Argentinian coach overseeing a run of five wins in their next six games, a sequence that put them firmly on course for the finals.<\/p>\n
Colombia\u2019s convincing home form at their Barranquilla citadel was central to their successful campaign, as was the balance between attack and defence and their cutting edge up front. No side in the group let in fewer goals than their 13 and only two of their continental rivals scored more than their 27. After clinching a trip to their first world finals since France 1998 on the penultimate matchday, the Colombians eventually took second place, their highest ever finish since the introduction of the current qualifying system.<\/p>\n
Colombia topped off their return in the 2014 World Cup after a 16 year absence by defeating Greece 3-0.[27] Colombia then edged a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast to dispute Group C’s top spot days later.[28] On the same day, Japan and Greece drew 0-0 and automatically qualified Colombia to the round of 16 for the first time in 24 years since the 1990 edition of the world cup.[29] In its final group stage game, Colombia defeated Japan 4\u20131, to win Group C and become the third South American team (following Brazil and Argentina) to go 3-0 in group stage in World Cup history. <\/p>\n
Colombia went on to defeat Uruguay 2-0 on June 28, 2014 in the knockout round, securing a spot in the quarter finals for the first time in their history.<\/p>\n
Colombia have well and truly lived up to their tag of dark horses, finishing top of Group C and sealed their place in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Uruguay to set up an enticing clash with Brazil. But without their star man James Rodriguez, it may not have been possible.
\nThe Monaco midfielder has taken the World Cup by storm, scoring five goals in just four games to go top of the goalscoring charts, as well as providing his team-mates with two assists.<\/p>\n
