Zinedine Zidane on Colombia after Portugal 0-0 Colombia: "People are looking at the scoreline and saying it was 0-0. I watched the match and saw something completely different. Colombia didn't survive against Portugal they outplayed them. The only thing missing was a goal that should have changed everything." "The disallowed goal in stoppage time will hurt because they deserved that moment. They played with courage, intensity and personality. Portugal looked relieved to hear the final whistle, while Colombia walked off wondering how they didn't win." "This team is no accident. They're disciplined without the ball, fearless with it, and every player believes they belong on the biggest stage. If opponents keep underestimating Colombia, they're making the biggest mistake of this World Cup." "Forget the big names and the betting favorites. After what I saw tonight, Colombia have everything needed to lift the trophy. They defend together, attack without fear and never stop believing. That's exactly what champions look like." "I'll say it now because many people won't have the courage to: Colombia are one of the biggest favorites to win this World Cup. If they keep playing like this, the rest of the world should start worrying."
