South America (CONMEBOL) – Colombia
The last time Los Cafeteros made it to the World Cup was in 1998, at a time when they were one of the giants of the game.
But after years of disappointment, they have managed to pull things together under Jose Pekerman. And under the former Argentina manager, Colombia has managed to score 25 goals in their qualifying group.
With skipper Mario Yepes and an average age of 28, they will bring bags of experience with them to Brazil. But what will obviously be on show is their attacking flair.

Pekerman loves to spread play wide, so the likes of Fredy Guarín and James Rodriguez will bomb forward to provide able support to Radamel Falcao and Jackson Martinez.
That fearsome quartet will look to send Colombia past their previous best of the quarterfinals, as they would look to put the pain of past failings behind them.
