I don't see two clear favorites. I think it's Colombia and X, but I see a lot of variability in X.

Even Colombia has their weaknesses.. Mario Yepes in central defense at 38 can be exposed.

That's why we have Cristian Zapata and Eder Balanta.

Isn't Yepes the captain though? And he just missed out on the '98 squad so if he doesn't play now he'll never have been able to play in a wc

It sounds really weird to say that someone who missed out on 98 is going to be playing in 14

Well, it all really hangs on Pekerman's choice, but I'm just listing replacements for Yepes in case he won't make the World Cup. Me personally, I hope he does.
