FIFA World Cup 2014 - James Rodriguez Appearing As World Cup Shining Star
James Rodriguez Appearing As World Cup Shining Star
The Maracana's
iconic sweep of concrete stands may have been replaced by an identikit modern
arena -but Colombia's James Rodriguez
produced a moment to stir all of the old place's ghosts. He is in the class of Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, according to
Uruguay boss Oscar Tabarez.
He looks like a boy. Appearances though can be deceptive. He
has a man-size talent and he is writing his name in very large letters on the
2014 FIFA World Cup. The 22 years old James
Rodriguez in his native Colombia, Portugal and the South of
France where he’s played his club
football for the last four years, they’ve known about him for a while. In the
last two weeks the rest of the English speaking world has been learning to
pronounce ‘James’ as ‘Ha-mez’.
We knew about Messi,
Ronaldo, and Neymar. They were the names on most lips as we headed to Brazil.
All three have delivered — though Ronaldo’s
influence on a limited Portuguese team was always a concern. No one can
question Rodriguez has now earned the
right to be mentioned in such elite company.
Falcao's absence pushes Rodriguez into spotlight
It may never have come to this. Before a ball was kicked,
the major question mark hanging over seeded Colombia was how it would cope
without Radamel Falcao. The Colombian talisman lost his battle to recover from ACL
surgery, but his absence has been a glorious blessing in disguise. Rodriguez would surely have occupied a
different and less prominent role had his Monaco teammate been fit. Without Falcao, James has been both playmaker
and striker — inspiring Colombia
effortlessly into the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in its
history.
He is a one-man Golden Generation. All left foot, all
confidence and all the talent that comes from years of practice, determination
and sacrifice. James’s vision was evident in game one of the Group stage
against Greece when he assisted on
the first two goals and scored the third himself in the dying seconds. James
was just getting started. He would add further goals against the Ivory Coast and Japan to lead
his nation to a perfect 3-0 record in Group
C. Then, in the historic environs of
the Maracana, he brought the house
down with a magnificent two-goal performance to send Uruguay back across the border.
Golden Ball And Golden Boot Contender
Who knows where or when it will end? Rodriguez
has exploded on the World Cup with a lethal combination of flair
and finishing and must be relishing the prospect of facing Brazil in the last eight. The hosts were given a mighty scare by Chile in the round of 16, and will know
the hill only gets steeper from here. At the current rate of ascent, James Rodriguez could be heading home with plenty of excess baggage. He
is in prime position to win both the Golden
Boot and the Golden Ball. As he
reflects on another job extremely well done, he would trade both for a chance
to get his hands on the real prize — the World
Cup itself.
