James Rodriguez News: Plays 45

Rodriguez recorded one cross, a corner and one tackle in Friday's match against Ghana.

Rodriguez was brought off at half for Colombia on Friday as they went for a more defensive look in the second half, a decision the veteran midfielder didn't look happy with. He would see minimal work despite having the lead when he exited, notching 27 completed passes in his time on the field. He will likely remain a starter in future games, likely set on playing more than 45 with tougher matches ahead.
