BEIJING, June 30 (Xinhuanet) -- James Rodriguez is the tournament's leading scorer at this point, and his five goals so far. The 22-year-old is playing in his first World Cup, and doing an excellent job filling the void left by the injury to Radamel Falcao.
In fact, many analysts are already calling the AS Monaco midfielder the heir apparent to another legend from his country, Carlos Valderrama, saying the playmaking skills possessed by the five-foot-eleven Rodriguez, are quite reminiscent of the former captain.
And it's hard to argue with that assessment right now, as his five goals make him the tournament's scoring leader, so far in Brazil. He's now made twenty-six appearance with Colombia, and his scoring spree over the last two weeks, has doubled his total for the national team.
