England fans could be forgiven for taking one look at the Colombian attack tonight and shrugging their shoulders as to suggest there is no need to worry.They would be wrong though because the once maligned Radamel Falcao is thriving again and ready to banish the ghosts of his time in the Premier League.The 32-year-old arrived in England four years ago with a reputation as one of the world’s deadliest strikers but returned to Monaco after spells with Manchester United and Chelsea as damaged goods.
With James Rodriguez’s involvement against England still doubtful, Colombia captain Falcao will become the focal point of their attack. He has already shown the prowess that has returned to his game, scoring against Poland to edge his nation to the knockout stages.Tonight could be the biggest test in Falcao’s rejuvenation. His career almost ground to a halt in England but now he has the chance to send the Three Lions packing and ultimately banish those dismal years in the Premier League completely.
