James Rodríguez said he has no intention of retiring after the World Cup, shutting down reports that he was planning to hang up his boots after the 2026 World Cup with Colombia this summer.
“I don’t know who said that,” the 34-year-old told Apple TV after posting his first two MLS assists in Minnesota United’s 2–2 draw with Austin FC on Sunday. “I think it was in Colombia to get views, to get likes. But I think they should inform themselves a bit more about all these things. The only person who will know how long I want to play is me.”
