With <strong>5 goals and 2 assists he leads the race for the Golden Boot<\/strong>, and has received praise from across the world of sports and entertainment. Managers comparing him to Pele and Maradona may be a tad premature, but those calling him <strong>the standout performer of this World Cup<\/strong> are dead on: James has been magnificent; his performances elevating him to the level of world class superstar. <strong>Rihanna and LeBron James even tweeted about him<\/strong>&#8230;I mean, Rihanna!<\/p>\n<p>So, with <strong>arguably the biggest game in Colombian footballing history<\/strong> happening tomorrow, we though we&#8217;d inspire the millions of Colombian fans around the world with a little reminder of what the team&#8217;s talisman can do, with our video collection of James&#8217; greatest hits. <strong>You can keep your Neymar!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s James scoring his first goal for Banfield in Argentina.<\/strong> What a hit!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a19MTuAcVs0\" width=\"653\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After a move over the Atlantic to Porto, <strong>James became a scoring sensation, netting 32 times in 3 years<\/strong>. Here a great compilation of ALL of those goals (we do spoil you!). <strong>I like the one at 0:46<\/strong>: it&#8217;s like a little precursor to his World Cup goals vs. Japan.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QQKffQEruz0\" width=\"653\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then came <strong>a lucrative 40 million euro move to Monaco<\/strong> to join up with Colombia teammate Falcao. James has only played one season in the French League, but he&#8217;s taken that by storm as well. <strong>Check out the goal at 1:52&#8230;wow, just wow!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DH4MdZ5vjnY\" width=\"653\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And of course, <strong>James is Colombian!<\/strong> It was current coach Jose Pekerman who had faith in James, and it has certainly paid off! Here&#8217;s a video reminder of his performances in Brazil. <strong>That goal against Uruguay was something else, wasn&#8217;t it!?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jHVj-Jch36M\" width=\"653\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So there&#8217;s the very best of James. <strong>His greatest hits, dribbles, feints and shimmies<\/strong>, if you like.
