Based on form and overall performances so far, Colombia has been the most impressive and consistent side at this summer's World Cup.

And at the centre of it all is their No 10 and Team 33 favourite James Rodriguez who has scored five goals as Colombia go into a quarter-final with Brazil.

Already the nation's greatest performance, we caught up with Bogota-based football journalist Carl Worswick who joined us on the line from Brazil, where he has been following the team.

He told us why Rodriguez' goalscoring exploits and impact at the World Cup have been somewhat surprising despite his talent and whether this World Cup can change the perceptions of Colombian football twenty years on from the tragedy of the legendary 1994 team which ended with the murder of Andreas Escobar.

Worswick also praised the changes made by manager Jose Pekerman and why Pekerman staying is key to preventing Colombia from sliding back into obscurity as happened to the post-1990s generation.
