James: Colombia eyeing at least World Cup semis

Colombia star James Rodriguez hopes he can lead his team into at least the World Cup semi-finals in Russia.

The South Americans are coming off their best result at the showpiece tournament, having reached the quarter-finals in Brazil in 2014.

"I want to have a good World Cup and help my team-mates get to the semi-finals or the final – why not?" he told bundesliga.com.

"Yeah, why not? It would be great," he said.

"But that's a long way away, we need to take things step by step."
