Will Colombia's Unbeaten Run Inspire Them To Copa America Title?
Given the fact that alogside Uruguay, Colombia are the only side that are playing exceptional brand of football makes it even hard to believe that they are still 'dark horses' and not favourites, as per many experts. Colombia are on a 27-game unbeaten run and can very well go on to win this year's Copa America, as they seem to be scoring at will and their attacking flair has indeed lit the tournament.
However, if the side manages to show defensive resilience on the big occasion, South American football fans can very well see a huge upset in thr form of a Uruguay exit, or even an Argentina defeat in final (given they advance against Canada).
