James Rodriguez and Luis Diaz will continue to have Nestor Lorenzo as their coach, following his contract renewal with Colombia. Colombia confirmed that Nestor Lorenzo will continue as head coach of the men’s national team, closing the book on months of speculation about his future following the country’s run at the 2026 World Cup. The decision came after a meeting of the Colombian Football Federation’s (FCF) Executive Committee in Bogota on Thursday, July 23. The federation made the news official through an official statement: “The Executive Committee of the Colombian Football Federation announces, following the meeting held this Thursday, July 23, in the city of Bogota, the renewal of head coach Nestor Lorenzo’s contract at the helm of the Colombia men’s senior national team”. The communique didn’t specify an exact end date for the new deal, though it’s understood to run through the South American World Cup qualifiers for the 2030 edition, with the expectation that it could be extended further if Colombia reaches the centennial World Cup. The renewal gives Lorenzo, who took over the program in July 2022, a clear runway to build toward the next cycle with largely the same group of players that carried the team through this World Cup.

The coach has consistently viewed the veteran playmaker as an important piece of his setup, calling him up regularly even during stretches when Rodriguez wasn’t producing his best form at club level. With Lorenzo staying on, the door remains open for Rodriguez to continue being part of the national team project going forward. Luis Diaz, meanwhile, faces no such uncertainty. The winger remains a fixture in Lorenzo’s plans and is currently regarded as Colombia’s best player, making him an obvious cornerstone as the team begins building toward the next World Cup cycle. Lorenzo’s numbers with Colombia Since taking charge, Lorenzo has restored Colombia to the top tier of South American football after a stretch on the margins of the region’s biggest competitions. His tenure includes a runner-up finish at the 2024 Copa America and a return to the World Cup stage, both marks of a program that had gone years without featuring prominently on the continental radar. Perhaps the clearest sign of that turnaround was a 28-match unbeaten run that stood as one of the best stretches in the national team’s history, a streak that only came to an end in the most painful way possible: a loss to Argentina in the 2024 Copa America final. Across his time in charge, Lorenzo has overseen 51 matches, winning 31, drawing 12 and losing just 8.

The Golden Boot is the award that goes to the top scorer of the competition, which began in 1930. While the main goal for every player competing in a World Cup is to lift the trophy, individual awards can also secure a place in history. While the Golden Ball is subjective because it recognizes the tournament’s best player, the Golden Boot is more objective, as it crowns the competition’s top scorer. Even if the greatest players have not always shined at the World Cup, the list of Golden Boot winners features many names that rank among the best in the history of the sport, even if some never won the tournament. The list also includes some surprising winners who produced the best month of their careers when it mattered most, such as James Rodriguez in 2014 and Salvatore Schillaci in 1990.

Néstor Lorenzo’s side face Switzerland in Vancouver on Tuesday and will be hoping for the same backing that has shocked opponents so farMexico City, Guadalajara, Miami, Kansas City – Colombia’s World Cup journey has gradually been heading north for three weeks. Thousands of their supporters now descend on Vancouver looking to see Néstor Lorenzo’s side try to reach their first quarter-final in 12 years when they face Switzerland on Tuesday. After Mexico and the United States, “yellow fever” is about to hit Canada.This sort of fan migration, which has filled host cities with vibrant colour and joy, has not been seen since that last quarter-final in 2014, when Colombia supporters travelled in massive numbers to Brazil, not only owing to its proximity but also to the fact that the selección had not qualified for a World Cup for almost a generation before. James Rodríguez, the breakout star of that tournament, addressed the fans before travelling to North America as captain this year as there had been trouble when Colombia were in the US for the 2024 Copa América.

Colombia find themselves at the 2026 World Cup with the ambition of getting past the Round of 16 and reaching the quarterfinals once again, matching the best mark in the nation's World Cup history. Colombia are through to the knockout rounds of the 2026 World Cup, and Los Cafeteros will now try to recapture the magic of the tournament they’re still best remembered for, a run that remains the gold standard for Colombian soccer more than a decade later. This year’s tournament marks Colombia‘s seventh trip to the World Cup, following previous appearances in 1962, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2014, and 2018. The South Americans have missed out on qualification four times since their debut, including a stretch of absences in the 2000s and, more recently, a shock failure to reach the 2022 edition in Qatar. Colombia’s Group K campaign in 2026 was a strong one. Nestor Lorenzo’s men opened with a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan, followed it up with a 1-0 victory against DR Congo, and closed out the group with a goalless draw against Portugal, good enough for seven points and first place in the group. Colombia’s best World Cup campaign Colombia’s finest hour on the World Cup stage came in 2014, when the team reached the quarterfinals for the first and only time in its history, finishing fifth overall in Brazil. James Rodriguez celebrates a goal for Colombia vs Uruguay at the 2014 World Cup. (Getty Images) Jose Pekerman’s men were dominant in the group stage, opening with a 3-0 win over Greece, following it with a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast, and closing with a 4-1 rout of Japan to finish top of Group C with a perfect record. Colombia then beat Uruguay 2-0 in the Round of 16, a match remembered for a stunning volleyed goal from James Rodriguez, before their run finally ended with a 2-1 quarterfinal loss to host nation Brazil. That campaign remains untouched by anything Colombia has produced since, including their 2018 return to the World Cup, which ended in a Round of 16 penalty-shootout loss to England. Colombia’s overall World Cup record Colombia have appeared in seven World Cups including this year’s tournament, reaching the knockout stage on four occasions but advancing past the Round of 16 only once. Including their ongoing 2026 campaign (before their Round of 32 clash vs Ghana), Colombia have played 25 World Cup matches all-time, winning 11, drawing 3, and losing 11, scoring 36 goals while conceding 30.
The confirmed lineups for the 2026 World Cup match between Colombia and Ghana, with James Rodriguez ready to start. The final match of the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup should provide another tough battle as Colombia and Ghana fight for a place in the Round of 16, with James Rodríguez ready to start. While qualification was certainly possible, not many expected Colombia to be in this position because they were drawn into the same group as Portugal. That was not a problem, however, as they won the group after drawing with Portugal in the final match following victories over Uzbekistan and DR Congo. It was a different journey for Ghana, who began the tournament strongly but are no longer carrying the same confidence they had built. A late victory over Panama was followed by a draw with England that secured their place in the knockout stage with a match to spare, but they then lost to Croatia and finished third. Colombia vs Ghana lineups For this match, Néstor Lorenzo opted for this lineup for Colombia: Vargas; Munoz, Sanchez, Lucumi, Mojica, Puerta, Lerma, Jhon Arias, Rodriguez, Cordoba and Diaz. Semenyo is a player to follow (Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) Manager Carlos Queiroz preferred this lineup for Ghana: Ati-Zigi; Mensah, Opoku, Senaya, Luckassen, Partey, Sibo, Yirenki, Semenyo, Ayew and Williams. Their next match The winner of this match will play Switzerland on July 7 after the Europeans defeated Algeria 2-0 in the Round of 32.
Spanish football expert Juan Castro says expected Bournemouth signing Alvaro Rodriguez can score "a lot of goals" for the club but needs to "progress and upgrade" to succeed in the Premier League. "It's not a big star in the Spanish league, but he is a striker who can score a lot of goals for Bournemouth," Castro told BBC Radio Solent.
Amid growing doubts, Mexico have managed to remain unbeaten at the 2026 World Cup, surprising everyone. As a result, they have climbed several places in the FIFA Men's World Ranking ahead of their match against Ecuador. As one of the hosts of the 2026 World Cup, Mexico entered the tournament surrounded by uncertainty, as they did not have to play qualifiers and came in with little competitive match experience. Nevertheless, they have surprised everyone with their performances, remaining unbeaten and reaching the knockout stage. Ahead of their Round of 32 clash against Ecuador, they have climbed several places in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking. According to the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, Mexico are ranked 9th place with 1736.01 points. Having secured three consecutive victories, they have escalated five positions compared to the start of the tournament. In recent years, they have managed to significantly improve their international standing compared to their 40th position in July 2015. However, they have yet to match their highest-ever ranking, which was 4th in May of 2006. With their solid performances, Mexico have a privileged spot in the ranking than their opponents, Ecuador. Despite coming off a win over Germany, they have dropped one place in the rankings and now sit 24th with 1,592.59 points. With this in mind, Javier Aguirre’s team remain the top contenders to reach the Round of 16. To do so, they will need to produce their best attacking performance, as they are facing a solid defense. Unlike their opponents in the group stage, Javier Aguirre’s team will face one of the best defenses at the 2026 World Cup. Despite not standing out in front of goal, Ecuador have one of the tournament’s most compact teams. Sebastián Beccacece has built a solid defensive unit with Willian Pacho, Piero Hincapié, and Joel Ordóñez. In addition, they can take advantage of their pace on the wings to create danger, looking for Gonzalo Plata or Kevin Rodríguez up front. Luis Romo #7 of Mexico celebrates with teammates after scoring. Julian Quiñones is Mexico’s scoring hope against Ecuador Throughout the 2026 World Cup, Mexico have excelled in attack, competing head-to-head against all of their opponents. Because of this, they remain the clear favorites to defeat Ecuador, having advanced through the group stage without conceding a single goal. Although they do not have strikers in top form, Julián Quiñones remains one of the team’s leading goalscorers and is expected to be Javier Aguirre’s biggest hope. With his outstanding dribbling ability and pace, Julián Quiñones has consistently found space in opposition defenses. With Raúl Jiménez occupying opposing defenders, he has become Mexico’s top scorer with two goals. Facing Ecuador’s solid defense, the 29-year-old star is the team’s biggest hope to lead them to victory. To achieve that, the quiet work of Raúl Jiménez and Roberto Alvarado will be crucial, as they draw defenders away to give him space to finish calmly. As Mexico’s top scorer, Julián Quiñones could be marked by Ecuador with two defenders in an attempt to limit his impact. In that case, he would become the key player in creating space for Raúl Jiménez, who would face the pressure of being clinical in front of goal. Therefore, the 29-year-old star remains Javier Aguirre’s most decisive player in their pursuit of a place in the Round of 16.
