Colombia's coach, Jorge Luis Pinto, stated that despite a 5-0 loss to Paraguay in the Copa America, Colombia will not be defeated. He emphasized that this setback is not a catastrophe, as they are still in control of their circumstances. Pinto assured that Colombia has not been completely defeated in terms of footballing abilities, tactics, or morale, and that this loss is not the end of the world. "We haven't given up yet, we're going to respond." Despite Colombia's strong start in their opening Group C game, they struggled after missing a penalty and allowing Paraguay to take the lead. This was surprising given Colombia's strong defense in previous games. Their next match will be against Argentina, who won their first game against the United States. Pinto stated that they would make adjustments, potentially altering the style of play and the players. He also drew a comparison to Colombia's 5-0 victory over Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in 1993, noting that both teams were not at their best during that match. Pinto remarked that the current game against Paraguay reminded him of that particular match.
