Colombia will seek their second continental title when they take on defending champions Argentina at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, but the clash will not be the only spectacle with Shakira doing the half-time show.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Colombia head coach Nestor Lorenzo criticized CONMEBOL's decision to extend the 2024 Copa América final halftime from a traditional 15 minutes to 25 minutes in order to accommodate a performance from Colombian pop star Shakira.
He was the golden boy of the 2014 World Cup but after a decade of disappointment at club level and at the age of 33, James Rodriguez is back and starring again on the international stage. The Colombian 'number ten' has been fundamental to his team's run to the final of the Copa America where 'Los Cafeteros' will face world champions Argentina for the title. Ten years ago in Brazil, Rodriguez scored six goals in Colombia's run to the quarter-finals of the World Cup including a stunning volley on the turn against Uruguay which won FIFA's Puskas Award for goal of the year.
Uruguay will be without injured central defender Ronald Araujo for Wednesday's Copa America semi-final against Colombia, coach Marcelo Bielsa confirmed on Tuesday. Araujo went off injured in the first half of Uruguay's victory over Brazil in Las Vegas on Saturday and tests showed he had suffered a "muscular injury" to his right thigh, according to the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF). "We are not going to be able to count on Araujo," Bielsa told a news conference at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Tuesday.
Colombia are on a 25-match unbeaten streak coming into Tuesday's Copa America match against Brazil but coach Nestor Lorenzo said he does not consider his side favourites against the five-times World Cup winners.
Colombia might be an underdog against Argentina in Sunday's Copa América final, but Lionel Messi & Co. will have their hands full against a side that is now unbeaten in its last 28 matches, a new record in Colombia men's soccer history.
Uruguay and Colombia will be chasing their own slice of history when they meet in Wednesday's Copa America semi-final in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo is eagerly anticipating Wednesday's (Jul 10) semi-final against Uruguay, predicting a tough battle that will provide a great spectacle after the superb performances of both teams at the Copa America.
