Narcoterrorism, politics, the war on drugs, extradition… they’re all back in the news with Trump’s actions in Venezuela. And they all feature in my book Narcoball. Along with the incredible intertwined story of Pablo Escobar’s lifelong obsession with football. Could be a timely read?

Last push this week and next to get the full, complete manuscript edited, locked and ready to be sent to print. Bit of a last minute pre-Xmas stress but will feel great when it’s all done!

So…
Not a terrible XI by any stretch but…
Mbappé, Salah, Raphinha and Luís Diaz all have worthy cases for inclusion if you ask me… in fact Daniel Muñoz also deserves a shout!
Who do you think should have been recognised?
And who definitely shouldn’t be in there?

Colombia vs Portugal as the final Group K game, in a Hard Rock Stadium in Miami that I’m certain will be PACKED with Colombia fans, is going to be an epic 3rd match - most likely to decide who tops the group and gets a MUCH easier route through the knockouts… HUGE.

The struggles of being a Colombia (and England) fan in England:
Colombia’s first 2 group games both kick off at 3am, 4hrs after the England games finish.
Those are gonna be some long, late, tiring nights with almost zero sleep!
At least the final COL group game is a 00:30 KO!
