Colombia's golden boy will look to repeat his 2014 heroics

The golden boy for Los Cafeteros and arguably the best player at the last World Cup in Brazil 4 years ago, Russia 2018 will see a more mature and infinitely better version of Colombia's favourite heartthrob.

Expected to play just behind former AS Monaco teammate Ramadel Falcao, James will be the creative fulcrum for Jose Pekerman's team and on his capable shoulders will rest a huge part of the creative and goalscoring burden.

Blessed with the sort of vision that has come to be expected from the world's elite playmakers, his intelligence, great passing, ability to get himself into great goalscoring positions and delivery from setpieces will be of great value to a team that is being seen as one of the tournament's dark horses.
