James doing what he did in Brazil and then qualifying us to Russia almost single handedly says otherwise. if he doesn't get injured in Russia, Colombia makes semifinals

[–] GreatSpaniard@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Greatest Colombian footballer of all time tbh

great first touch

[–] emre23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Like it’s 2014

[–] demu24@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No de nuevo

[–] GreatSpaniard@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If he didn't get injured I would agree

We've been poor but seeing Santi and James link up was crazy

[–] juankg217@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Well, third highest scorer in the conmebol qualifiers for brazil, and 1/3 of the total goals for Colombia, with 5 points difference between us and 5th place who know what might have happened

[–] nico_cali@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Because of his clubs he was only able to really show it in Europa League but he did amazing there

[–] af_1946@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He didn’t have to, and the fact that James had to be top goalscorer in the sports biggest tournament to even be in the conversation shows how great Falcao is.

[–] SortOfHorrific@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

lol except for the back to back europa leagues he won ? what are you on

[–] Shaded-Haze@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, Falcao was already in decline at that point. No disrespect, I think he probably had the highest high.

[–] lettersputtogether@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Already in decline during the 2014 qualfiers? what?

[–] miguel_is_a_pokemon@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

For me when you say best ever Colombian player, their performances at the National player are front and centre. It's not like James is short on goals and assists considering he's not a striker.

[–] santisus@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vamos Jamesito!!!!

[–] pixelkipper@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

falcao had an even higher peak

[–] EngineTrack@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Has never relied on speed though, pure class.

[–] EngineTrack@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Was quite decent until Kovac came on. Then again, no one looked good under Kovac.

[–] Rickcampbell98@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Absolute animal, he was well regarded in those days but if you put that falcao in a super team like man city these days people would be talking about him like haaland or lewy a few years ago.

[–] SandThatsKindaMoist@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hes so slow but he's still got it

[–] EngineTrack@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Has never relied on speed though, pure class.

[–] perhapsasinner@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Now that's the name I haven't heard in a while

[–] Andrex316@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Uruguay with the flashbacks 😩

[–] LKDC@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

James with his club: 😴 James with the NT: 😡

[–] tweazz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Still got it

[–] nutelamitbutter@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not bad at all

[–] lolaya@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I love Falcao and put him above James, but colombia was not in danger imo of not qualifying without falcao

[–] pixelkipper@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Definitely the eye test too he was a beast

[–] emre23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He missed the WC with an ACL injury which basically triggered his decline

[–] Shaded-Haze@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Imma be the annoying one:

Colombian*

[–] miguel_is_a_pokemon@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Falcao never got to really show it in the important tournaments, that makes a big difference

[–] lettersputtogether@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Already in decline during the 2014 qualfiers? what?

[–] Imzocrazy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How to traumatize a Uruguayan…just whisper softly into their ear….James

[–] Rickcampbell98@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What a crying shame that was, had a good resurgence at Monaco but never was the same "el tigre" what an absolute monster in his prime.

[–] zenug91@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cuadrado isn't on this team hasn't been called up these qualifiers.

[–] ForgetHype@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Insane thing to say.

[–] Microsoft_B@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not Columbia…

[–] BlueNorse@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Arias assist. Cincy massive
