Colombia has a better front line imo.
Jackson Martinez, Falcao, J.Rodriguez, Bacca and Cuadrado

Completely disagree. Argentina has not just the best front technically, but also trumps in raw number of players on this category.

 

EDIT: I'm really surprised by Paraguay's reaction, but I'm happy at the same time cause it was deserved! Jamaica performed much better than I thought they would too, almost draw with Uruguay.

And I'm pretty excited for tomorrow cause we'll have 2 good games: Colombia and Brazil on the field!

You can disagree with me but the facts are that the Colombian forwards for the past year, have been performing and showing their worth better than Argentinians.

Carlos Bacca for Sevilla, Jackson Martinez has been superb for Porto, James Rodriguez on Colombia and R.Madrid has been excellent, Falcao dropped off but MU is a shitty team nowadays.

Argentina at the moment has no goal scorer if it ain't Messi. Colombia has at least 3, world class.

Plus as a squad, Colombia is a better team than Argentina, la albiceleste has many names on it but no world class team.

Sorry, I also disagree

Argentina is a beast team considering strikers. Messi is obvious, but they also have Agüero (PL top scorer), Tevez and Higuain (3rd and 4th Serie A top scorers with 20 and 18 goals each) and Lavezzi, who is not at that level but certainly is a great player. While none of them is a "poacher", except maybe for Higuain, with that kind of numbers they certainly dont need to be one.

Bacca and Jackson Martinez had great seasons, but Falcao did not (just 4 goals). Besides, while I am certain that Martinez is a beast, he playes in Portugal, not on the same level as La Liga/Serie A/Premier so Im not sure If one could put him above Tevez or Higuain.

The Arg strikers could well be at least top 2 in most, if not all, of Copa America teams

 

Now, I think that except for the strikers, Colombia has a better team than Argentina, but Argentinians Strikers are so good that they could compensate and put Arg in front of Colombia if they play against each other.
