While rival drug cartels warred in the streets and the country's murder rate climbed to highest in the world the Colombian national soccer team set out to blaze a new image for their country. What followed was a mysteriously rapid rise to glory, as the team catapulted out of decades of obscurity to become one of the best teams in the world.
