Falcao continua como goleador de la copa con 11 goles y Rossi le escolta con 10, ya que ambos anotaron en esta fecha un gol.

Lastima que no entro la de James

Porto is up 3-1, with about 5 minutes to go. Looks like Falcao scored two goals today. Watched the Udinese-Napoli game so missed this one.

Both with his head out jumping defenders according to Record. Watched the last 20 m and this was a crazy game!

Guarin also looks to have played a great game.

Falcao, imparável, sem dúvida
Há factos que dispensam adjectivos: marcou dois golos em dois bons cabeceamentos, atirou uma bola no poste e pregou um susto à defesa do Sporting de cada vez que uma bola era colocada na área. Falcao provou ser o melhor cabeceador do futebol português em muitos anos e um avançado temível.

Gran elogios para Radamel.

Falcao might lead all Europe in goals scored by header. Is there way to look up those stats?

Never seen that stat anywhere - but his tally is even more remarkable when you consider his height. He just skies over these people.

Thing with that is that its great execution on the crosses (ace wing play) and terrific timing (you need practice for that). I hope that we'll get both for the Copa America.

I agree with everything, but I would also like to note that he seems to dive head in first to balls that other strikers will chase with their feet, usually a couple of feet of the ground... I mean, that probably gives him and edge over the defender since he is propeling himself forward with both legs (instead of one). It also shows a greater confidence in his ability to properly direct his headers over his footers..

For his career (in 191 games):

56 goales with his right foot
21 goals with his left foot
32 goals with his head

A nice balance. His website has terrific statistics:

Dios quiera que no se de........Falcao para el Arsenal, creo necesitamos un tipo como el, guerrero adelante que las pelee todas y atropellador, que reemplace a Bendtner

Re: Radamel Falcao en Portugal- 2011, part X

Falcao con los dos goles de ayer, se convirtio en el Colombiano con más goles en europa con 62 goles, 1 más que Juan Pablo Angel con 61.

Datos, las temporadas son muy diferentes, así mismo la liga.

Un gran logro. Creo que todo el verano escucharemos rumores de su venta...veremos...

Yo lo veo muy bien en Porto, no debe tener afan. Eso si, si viene Arsenal...de una!

Re: Radamel Falcao en Portugal- 2011, part X

Arsenal sucks especially if they get rid of Cesc that team is very colombian as they are underachievers so they would not be good for him. Falcao wanted by all the big teams that actually play for something for him to go to Arsenal would be stupid. He is better off at Tottenham who actually want to get better, also think Falcao at 25 might be too old for Arsenal.

Hold out for Inter, Real or Man United

That's ridiculous. You don't qualify consistently to the Champions league and challenge for the top spot in the Prem if you suck.

The reason Arsenal would be a perfect fit is that they've never replaced the aerial threat that Adebayor brought to them and need an upgrade at 9 in order to overtake United. Spurs have made the CL 1X and are struggling right now to qualify again (whereas Arsenal is a lock and far ahead of them in the table).

I think either would be better than his going to Inter or Real because they have solid '9's already and he wouldn't be filling a need in the same way.

By your logic, Real would suck because they get thwarted by Barca the same way that Arsenal gets thrwarted by United every year. The fact is that these are all great teams and it'd be an honor for him to play at any of them - what matters though is that he go somewhere where he can make a difference, my biggest concern is his going somewhere that doesn't fit his style or have a direct need for his.

Re: Radamel Falcao en Portugal- 2011, part X

As I said for Guarin (and got a little mixed up in that thread), there's only a bunch of teams that he should be considering... He cannot go to a team where he's going to be the third or fourth option like Real, Barca, Inter, ManU, Bayern... He cannot move to a team that is not going to be in either Champions or Europa League.. And it has to be a top 4 league, either EPL, Spain, Calcio or Bundesliga, maybe Lyon or Marseille and that's it.. That leaves him with probably 10 or 15 possible clubs.. Unless the money is insane, he's better in almost every aspect by staying at Porto for another season or two.

pipevasquez · Apr 19, 2011

Re: Radamel Falcao en Portugal- 2011, part X

Decir que Arsenal va para abajo y que Totten es mejor, no es muy logico que digamos.
Sin embargo mientras Wegner sea DT del Arsenal jamás volveran a ganar algo.

Sabes que en Inter no caeria nada mal. Motta es un muertazo, Cambiasso, no es lo que fue hace 1 año y medio, de hecho el tipo no quita jamás una pelota, pero tiene demasiada prensa (gracias cuchu como Interista te lo digo, pero no eres un crack) y Stankovic, ya esta más adentro que por fuera, igual en equipos como Juve y el mismo Milan.

Aparte si es cierto lo que menciono D. Rueda sobre el precio, es muy complicado que equipos de bajo nivel o medio nivel lo compren.

Sabes que tienes razon.. de pronto la Juve o Inter pueden ser destinos.. para el Ac Milan es muy joven.. esos no compran jugadores de menos de 30 años...

I would love Falcao to go to Real Madrid! they don't have a stable #9.

Benzema was only starting to catch his groove, and he got injured,
Pipita is a horrible player, I rate Falcao way above Pipita.
Ade was great when at Arsenal, but in Real has not impressed much.

BTW the Cules do not thwarted Real. They blow monkey balls. . (I just hate them.. arggh )

Anyhow I think Mourinho/Perez should buy Falcao, imagine how he will be scoring with the passes of the likes of Ozil, and Xavi Alonso.

Re: Radamel Falcao en Portugal- 2011, part X

Pienso q le sienta mejor el futbol ingles, y si viene a mi Arsenal mucho mejor.......con Van Persie como media punta uy seria super......El real no me gusta, corre el riesgo de quemarse rapido...ademas con los predecesores colombianos en España....no que no vaya inglaterra o Italia, Milan o Arsenal.....incluso Man U pero ese tiene a Rooney y al Chicharo saltarin sin olvidarse de Berbatov. VEN A ARSENAL TIGRE....No tenemos un referente decente desde Titi Henry, bueno aunque son diferentes jugadores......

PD:El gran sueño de Radamel es el Madrid.....quiza algun dia se le, de pero ahora no me gustaria. Creo que el Madrid tiene buena delantera lo unico es que cambiaria a Adebayor por Drogba. Es mucho mas crack, no olvidemos que le quito el titulo de mejor jugador africano a Eto´o.

Looks like Porto just took a 3-0 (3-2 aggregate) lead on Benfica. Falcao with the last goal.

This team is unreal this year!!!

lvbeto · Apr 20, 2011

Re: Radamel Falcao en Portugal- 2011, part X

do they have the away goals rule in Portugal, cause it's 1-3 now, tied on aggregate with Porto leading in the away goals.

I am watching the Barca-Madrid game with the Porto game on a ticker.
