James Rodriguez bends a beautiful shot beyond Steffen for the opener. Move began with James dispossessing Weah far too easily.#USMNT can’t keep the ball. #USACOL

James Rodriguez could've sat down, taken a nap, woken up, eaten a snack, and the #USMNT defense would still not have picked him up. Shocking defending so far from the US. Very permeable down #COL 's right. #USAvCOL

James plays different when he’s in the Colombia jersey

Unreal goal. Body and foot facing almost completely perpendicular when he hits it. I'd put James' top 10 goals up against anybodies.

First: That defending was joke... Second: Got to love when a shot is so perfect that the keeper just watches and appreciates it.
