Colombia's Copa football emulating its sumptuous coffee

In the country famed for the world's best coffee, belief is growing that the football team can conquer South America this year.

The "Cafeteros" (coffee-growers) made an impressive start to the Copa America, defeating Lionel Messi and Argentina 2-0 in their opening match.

A hard-fought 1-0 win over Qatar sent Colombia through to the knock-out stages - the first side to do so - with a game to spare.

That win also guaranteed them top spot in Group B and even though Queiroz changed 10 players for their final pool match against Paraguay, they won that too, 1-0.

"Our biggest victory against Paraguay was taking to the field knowing that we have 22 players ready to work hard," said Queiroz, coaching his fifth national side across four continents.
