Video: It's Messi vs James at the Copa America
SANTIAGO: Lionel Messi and James Rodriguez are about to meet again.
They've left their clubs behind, Barcelona and Real Madrid, and this time Messi is wearing Argentina's blue and white and Rodriguez the red, blue and yellow of Colombia.
Of the four quarterfinals this week in the Copa America, Argentina vs. Colombia on Friday is the most compelling. Argentina has won this title 14 times and, with Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero, has the most talented attack in the game.
Colombia has won this title only once. But it's probably South America's fastest rising power, has an Argentine coach in Jose Pekerman and its own set of talented scorers including Rodriguez, Radamel Falcao and Jackson Martinez.
