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.
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
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.
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.
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

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

Still got it

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

Already in decline during the 2014 qualfiers? what?
emre23@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
He missed the WC with an ACL injury which basically triggered his decline

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

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.
demu24@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
No de nuevo
GreatSpaniard@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
If he didn't get injured I would agree

nico_cali@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Because of his clubs he was only able to really show it in Europa League but he did amazing there
Shaded-Haze@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Honestly, Falcao was already in decline at that point. No disrespect, I think he probably had the highest high.

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