What They're Saying
Argentina midfielder Angel Di Maria (via ESPN FC): "I began well, with goals and assists [at Manchester United]. I was going well, until I was left out. It is a bit difficult to explain why I was not playing. Although it was not the case that, because I cost a lot of money, I had to be a starting player."
Colombia midfielder James Rodriguez (via ESPN FC): "[Lionel] Messi is in another world. He is a unique player, and you cannot talk about a James versus Messi duel because that would be unfair to him. Colombia is playing against a tough team with great players. I never want to play badly. I always try and help the team, but things do not always go as you want. In these three games, I have had few spaces. They were tight and intense games, and I could not play much."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Rodriguez has failed to make the impact he did with Colombia at the 2014 World Cup. In three starts this tournament, the 23-year-old has no goals, no assists, but is averaging two key passes.
Argentina's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Romero; Rojo, Demichelis, Garay, Zabaleta; Banega, Mascherano, Pastore; Maria, Aguero, Messi
Colombia's Projected Lineup (4-2-2-2): Ospina; Armero, Murillo, Zapata, Zuñiga; Cardona, Mejia; Cuadrado, Rodriguez; Gutierrez, Falcao
