Arise Sir James Rodriguez.
If you hadn't heard of him before this tournament, you will have now.
Frustratingly, his name sounds so very nearly English. But he's definitely Colombian, and his nation is definitely through to the Quarters, thanks in part to Sir James' cracking opener.
Kitted out almost exactly the same as the team they'll face in the Quarters, Colombia have looked a confident outfit all World Cup long.
Uruguay, shorn of their talisman lacked bite in more ways than one. It was almost as if they knew their World Cup was over as soon as Suarez bared his gnashers and kissed Chellini's shoulder.
I thought this would be closer, requiring of extra time. But Uruguay wanted out of there. Out of the spotlight.
Colombia advance to the Quarters for the first time in their history, and they richly deserve it.
And would it be such a shock if they defeated the Brazilians. It's not just their kit that's similar...
