You just a hater and nothing more than that. Wonder if you've watched any of their matches or you're just spouting shit just for the sake of it. Cuadrado their best player? I'm having a laugh. He's only looked decent against a dreadful Brazilian side just because he's had acres of space to operate. Other than that he was awful against Venezuela and Peru. Especially tonight he looked like a Sunday League footballer.

Pretty much this. We really need a good AM.

Are we going to officially sign him after Copa America just in case of injuries?

[Jase 43,479]

Are colombia out tonight if they lose?

With Brazil beating Venezueala, Colombia look set to reach the quarter finals as one of the best third placed teams. Will play Argentina.

EDIT: Venezuela just pulled one back. 2-1 now. If it gets to 2-2, then bye bye Colombia...

[Jase 43,479]

1 goal in three games for Colombia. Says alot about how shit attack they have despite all the big names. I realy wonder what people see in Falcao, Cuadrado. Give them time, rest, full preseason bla bla. Its bunch of false hopes and the sooner people realise the better.

Funny thing is, Colombia look so much better in last year's World Cup - when they were without Falcao - than now. Even Cuadrado look like a decent player.

Funny you say that. The only match I didn't watch was the match against Brazil. Against Venezuela, Cuadrado was their most dangerous offensive player. But since we are not going to agree on how he performed-

Let's look at the whoscored rating-

Against Venezuela-

Cuadrado- 6.90 with 5 key passes- more than any other Colombian player.

Falcao- 5.87 with 1 key pass and 28 touches which is less than GK Ospina who had 47 touches.

Against Brazil

Cuadrado- 7.3 with 1 assist, 1 key pass and you agree he was good.

Falcao- 6.24 with 0 key passes, 27 touches and low and behold which is again less than Ospina who had 38 touches.

Against Peru he did have a poor 1st half but in the withdrawn role in the 2nd half he was good-

Cuadrado- 7.3 with 3 key passes.

Falcao- 6.16 with 0 key pass, 26 touches and low and behold this is again less than Ospina who had 33 touches. He was so unbelievably s**t against Peru that he was substituted.

Before calling me a hater, you should look at yourself. I get that you don't like Cuadrado- neither do I- but at least I give credit where it's due. You are trying to lump Falcao and Cuadrado's in the same bracket when quite clearly Cuadrado has been the better performer by a country mile. Next time, choose your words more carefully.

I wouldnt go as far as superb. He was the best out of a bad lot.

i hope he dosen't get injured

[Stats 7,059]

Didn't want Falcao at all considering how bad he was at United. Still don't want him now and his invisibility in the Copa America has only reiterated this view. I just don't see this deal being successful. I actually believe if we bring him in at the expense of Remy leaving, that will hinder our title chances. That is how much I am against this deal, especially if it means Remy leaving. Would be a ludicrous peice of business imo.

I'm just sitting here reading everyone over analyzing the copa America which comes on at the end of a season that first had the World Cup then an entire domestic season.

Trust me folks real players don't recover from fatigue as fast as they do on football manager. Many of the big stars here are running on fumes. Having said that falcao looks lively to me for anyone who has actually watched the games how has the Colombian servicing been?

The whole team have been below par. James has probably been their best player, but he's still far from his WC level.

In regards to Falcao, he's continuing where he left off in the Prem. Had a few decent friendly performances prior to the Copa, but against poor opposition.

[zolayes 14,489]

I wonder if we get a collection going and put a hit out on him to one of the Columbian cartels? Or is that going too far?

be cheaper just to get a good witch doctor to HEX him

He's had a poor tournament so far. After a poor season, It's not over analysing at all. I have the same opinion of Falcao as I did this time last year.

He only looked livelier in the last game. He's been pretty quiet/shit in the other 2 games - though 1 was against a bus and another against Brazil.

For me, Falcao's main problem is that he's a penalty box striker who lost his magic in front of goal. Without his goal-scoring, he doesn't do anything else very well.

Or even cheaper we could hope that whosever idea it was either Mous or Emenalos they come to their senses after watching him and come down with a spot of selective amnesia.
