Proceed to comprise Colombia’s creativity. Colombia had their moments, however the USWNT did pretty effectively at containing a few of Colombia’s attackers like Linda Caicedo. They should proceed to lock up Colombia’s creativity, as a result of in the event that they’re allowed to roam free, they’ll trigger some severe injury.
