Colombia vs Japan Soccer Preview and Predictions
Columbia and Japan for years on are gearing up for another showdown. The two teams already met at Brazil 2014, and now they meet again in Group H action at Russia 2018. Colombia had an impressive victory against Japan resulting 4-1. What will the result be this time?
Colombia has their star man James Rodriguez. They are producing a string of eye-catching performances to advance. The team has more than enough to repeat history from Brazil, with the presence of all-time leading scorer Radamel Falcao.
