00:00And now it's time to talk about the finalists of the Copa America.

00:03Because we mentioned it after what happened in 2001 against Mexico.

00:08Colombia became champion.

00:11Now they are looking for their second crown in this contest.

00:13But they face neither more nor less than the queen of America and the queen of the world, the albiceleste.

00:18Duel of the Tenths, Lionel Messi against James Rodriguez.

00:22Who will be more decisive in his selection in this final?

00:26Well, the truth is that the problem is that one has to be decisive.

00:29If they want to win, the other doesn't matter.

00:31If Messi is not decisive, Argentina could win.

00:34If James is not decisive, it is impossible for Colombia to win.

00:37So now, I would stay with James, simply because of the level he has had in the tournament.

00:43Those six assists are pretty good.

00:46I was a little worried that he would lose against Uruguay so early.

00:4862 minutes, barely, is what he leaves us.

00:51And I don't think that luxury can be given.

00:53In the final, four MVPs, really James has been very good.

00:56But it has to be the best James Rodriguez,

00:59maybe giving one of the best games of his entire career,

01:02if Colombia wants to win the Copa América.

01:04So far, he has been the best player in the Copa América.

01:06I'm going to tell you one thing.

01:07The way Argentina is playing right now,

01:10I think that football,

01:11it's such a negative football that we saw against Canada,

01:13the Depaul is completely irresistible, unbeatable, and a thousand other things.

01:18I think that with how well Colombia is playing,

01:21they are going to need a genius from their captain.

01:24They are going to need a genius from their leader

01:25that will take us to do a little more.

01:27I agree with Andrés on one thing.

01:30Colombia's game is through James.

01:32Without James, there is no Colombia.

01:33Yes, that's true.

01:34And Argentina will have a good opportunity without Messi.

01:37I just think that seeing the Colombia that I saw today,

01:41it has to be a little more Argentinean.

01:44What Colombia did you see, Rodrigo?

01:46We saw a Colombia that was under pressure,

01:48under kicks, under blows,

01:51that had to defend with cover and sword,

01:53with his legs up.

01:54Exactly, it was a very compact Colombia.

01:56They were hitting him, kicking him,

01:58shouting at him,

01:59pushing him with such a negative Uruguayan football.

02:02That's how Argentina is going to play.

02:03Not necessarily.

02:05Argentina is not necessarily going to do the same.

02:06They are going to be physical.

02:07But it does seem that Colombia is going to be taken out of the game very easily.

02:10That's exactly what they are going to want to do.

02:12I think that Muñoz's game is going to be an important down,

02:13and be careful because Muñoz was so exposed.

02:17We've been saying all the time,

02:18Muñoz is ready to make a big jump.

02:19Anyone who has seen this is going to say,

02:20hey, what is he going to do to me in an important Champions League game?

02:22He lacked a lot of emotional intelligence.

02:24In a local Clásico.

02:26He fell into a very basic provocation.

02:28A very basic provocation,

02:29and he accused a pinch,

02:31he even showed it to the Mexican player.

02:34You're going to give him a kick, brother,

02:35what are we playing?

02:36Yes, and there is also one thing that is a little more dangerous than the other.

02:38Rodrigo, but this is also a psychological game,

02:40and you are facing the best in the world.

02:43Yes, but we also have to point out,

02:44for example, the psychological goalkeeper,

02:45you have to point out the Mugrero who did it there.

02:47You have the best team that is starting to be in transition.

02:51Because if I stay in Argentina,

02:52it starts to be in transition.

02:54I'm not saying they're not going to recover the level they had.

02:56If they're playing a little bit,

02:58I feel it,

02:59more disunited than what it was in the Champions League.

03:01No, I don't see that, Rodrigo.

03:02I see this Argentina

03:04resembling what we have always criticized about France.

03:07A team that is less and less eager to see,

03:10less attractive,

03:11but always getting results.

03:12I see a very careful Argentina,

03:14even going out.

03:16Sometimes they leave three defenses and put a lot of contention.

03:18They don't play pretty anymore.

03:19It doesn't matter anymore.

03:20They're going to win.

03:21The more they get used to winning,

03:23and especially with Messi's transition,

03:25I think it's okay.

03:26How much can this positive streak

03:30that the Colombians have

03:32of an undefeated streak of 27 commitments,

03:36that's extraordinary.

03:37I'm going to tell you what...

03:38Something that Argentina did at the time,

03:40and something that Brazil did at the time,

03:42in the last World Cup qualifiers.

03:43Look, my baseball coaches used to tell me a lot, Jackie.

03:45When you're very exhausted,

03:47do you know what's closest to you in your streak?

03:48The slump.

03:49The end of the streak.

03:50Of course.

03:50Because the more games you can lose without losing,

03:52do you know what's closest to you in which you're going to lose?

03:55That's statistically correct,

03:56but also psychologically it can be a problem.

03:59Of course.

04:00In the final?

04:01I think that can happen.

04:02It's just that, let's see,

04:03many times they say...

04:03It's probably the hardest game of the streak, right?

04:05They say that when the end of the Argentine streak is given,

04:07which is when they lose in the World Cup with Saudi Arabia,

04:10it's a...

04:11First, it wakes you up, like,

04:12that's it,

04:13we're not going to win the World Cup walking,

04:15but second, that's it,

04:15I'm not playing for a streak anymore,

04:16I'm playing game by game to win.

04:18I do think that Colombia has to forget about that situation,

04:21because you could also not lose the streak and lose the title, right?

04:23If you draw, if you lose in penalties,

04:25you don't lose the streak.

04:26So I do think that Colombia should forget about that

04:28and go and try to win Argentina,

04:30which involves a lot of ghosts for Colombian football,

04:32it's hard for them to win Argentina,

04:34and I do think that this time,

04:35well, they don't start as favorites.

04:37Let's see if that plays in their favor as well.

04:39And moments of honor for both of them, right?

04:40Do you want to win that second title in a third final in Colombia?

04:43Now, yes, playing well,

04:44a Copa América in form,

04:45with great teams,

04:46and Argentina wants to say goodbye to Mexico in a Copa América.

04:48Watch out, there's a lot of criticism that Colombia has received

04:51for how they won,

04:52in what conditions the Copa América of 2001 was played,

04:55and how good,

04:56maybe they didn't have to face the best rivals.

04:58This time, Colombia has the chance to vindicate itself,

05:01historically,

05:02and let's see if it finally happens.

05:03I've seen a lot of criticism that if Argentina already won El Camino,

05:06which I don't agree with,

05:07that if Argentina plays badly,

05:09well, oh well,

05:10they're still going to be favorites.
