An interesting game this Colombia v DR Congo Group K match is. Colombia looked quite good after falling behind in the queue of South American dark horses. DR Congo produced one of the upsets of the first round of games keeping Portugal to a 1-1, and they were good value for it too. Based on first week form you’d say Colombia should be the team winning here, but DR Congo were meant to be flogged by Portugal, so who knows.
