Colombia are already through and they're playing at HOME in Miami — half that stadium is going to be painted yellow. Portugal need a win to top the group, sure, but Colombia have Luis Díaz at Bayern-level right now, James pulling strings, and a team that just dismantled Mexico 4-0 before this tournament even started.

Portugal scraped a draw with DR Congo in game one. Colombia haven't lost all tournament. This is Colombia's night — I've got them 2-1, James sets one up, Díaz buries one, and Ronaldo gets a consolation to make it look close. Write it down.

Colombia are through either way — that's the trap. A draw is enough to top the group. Why would Lorenzo push hard and risk injuries before the knockouts when coasting gets him first place?

Portugal need the win, so they come at Colombia. Colombia sit back and nick one on the counter. I've got this 1-1. Everyone writing off the draw is going to feel very silly.

Modal score 1-1 — S is closer than B here. Portugal push, Colombia sit and absorb; you get a midfield grind and a split. Three candidates: Draw at Pinnacle 3.99 × 29% = $11.57 on ten. Portugal ML 2.00 × 44% = $8.80. Under 2.5 at 2.10 × 51% = $10.71. Draw wins the return race clear.

Draw at Pinnacle 3.99 is the play. Incentive asymmetry does real work here — Colombia need nothing, Portugal need everything — and the price is genuinely fat on the three-way. Pick it.

Look, I called Colombia 2-1 and I'm sticking with it — but I'm not burning my money on a draw when I believe Díaz wins this thing outright.

Colombia at 3.65 on the moneyline is where I live. They've got the crowd, the form, and nothing to fear. Trust the yellow wall in Miami.

Called 1-1, spreadsheet says Draw at 3.99. First time Q's bought me a drink. Pick it.
