Clint Dempsey slams ‘a wasted golden generation’ after USA get dumped out of the Copa America
Rodriguez had also got an assist in the 3-0 win over Costa Rica, and two in their 2-1 opening match win over Paraguay.
Ahead of Colombia’s draw with Brazil, Rodriguez was praised by manager Nestor Lorenzo.

“Now he runs a little less, but he thinks a little more. It’s good for him. He’s well surrounded, and that’s what’s making him play well.”
In that game, Rodriguez hit the post and saw another assist ruled out due to the resulting goal being scored by an offside teammate.
Still, with just one more assist he would break Lionel Messi’s record of five in one tournament, set in 2021.
And then he’d likely have an even stronger case for being Player of the Tournament.
Rodriguez burst onto the international scene at the 2014 World Cup with a stellar showing.
He scored one of the goals of the tournament and notched another five times to win the Golden Boot and made two assists.
