Swindon Town alumni Nestor Lorenzo and Matej Kovar have been making headlines at the World Cup. Lorenzo, who managed Colombia, topped their group with impressive wins.
What happened at the World Cup?
Swindon Town fans were spotted at each of England's games, with their flag on display during the match against Ghana in Boston.
How did the alumni perform?
Nestor Lorenzo enjoyed an excellent group stage, with Colombia playing some exciting football and claiming victories over DR Congo and Uzbekistan. Matej Kovar, on the other hand, struggled with Czechia, who failed to win any of their three group games.
What's next for Colombia?
Colombia will face Ghana in the round-of-32, and if they win, they will face the winner of Switzerland against Algeria. Their potential quarter-final match against Argentina would be a rematch of the Copa America final.
