    Maybe should count considering that duvan had a bad match in the same day

    The three also has 3 very good matches in wcq as visitors:

    Muriel Chile
    Borja Ecuador
    Zapata Perú.

    Muriel and borja with asistancces

    9, only 4 from valencia and atohny the avila (our historic 10th)

    i would be very happy if duvan scored at least that amount with the nt in the rest of his career....i cant see clear that

    Agree with your list of strikers except for Muriel.

    Muriel is in the group of attackers with James, cuadrado, Cardona, chara, aviles, pardo, Izzy, Gio Moreno.

    What did Teo do to piss off James? Teo in the final 23 will be big shock to me

    I don’t see any scenario where Borja is better to have in the final 23 than Duvan. Please correct me if I’m wrong but teams that play more physical will have a better chance of freezing a player like Borja than duvan?

    Started on the bench again. The guy is fighting to get back on the field, but, truth be told, he's never been a consistent goal scorer for an entire season...

    well is difficult to realize that duvan and muriel arent youth players anymore.

    but at least both are ready to be starters in the nt

    He played yesterday 60 minutes

    They aren’t ready to be starters for Colombia till they start for their clubs. I hope more guys step up. Neither Muriel or Zapata score enough to be our next #9

    at least as secondary options they can start...

    Falcao at that age was the big deal

    Falcao has the Muriel potential taking into account that they are diff type of players. Falcao was screwed with his 3 knee injuries which made it tough to go to Europe.

    Second he did he was a monster. Jackson same. Bacca basically was fkd because he got caught dancing during Carnival. But by 27 dude was a reality

    No one is else is at the level of those 3. Teo is just a shit head. He could have gotten to that level but he nuked bridges that he crossed.

    Kudos to DZ for capitalizing on that horrible back pass - probably a top 5 worst back pass ever

    And to think how much CRZD rips on cristian zapata for his back passing ;)

    That was a pretty cool goal. Not much space to work with and extended his leg out there like a cartoon character.

    HOpe next season he finally gets more consistent.

    11 goals is nice but for a NT starter he should be close to 20. First season over 10 goals. Very highly rated

    Next season Falcao is 33 so all these other guys need to step it up

    To be fair it is difficult to score in the Serie A. Unless you are on a top 5 team with very good talent around you.

    Bad excuse honestly

    Duvan is very inconsistent isnt a secret and he have a lack of goal....that he should improve....

    His partner Quagliarella is in the top 4 with 19 goals.

    Last Year Belotti of Torino scored 26 goals and was top 3

    In 2015 TONI was capocaioneiri with HELLAS VERONA


    And i oesent you to this guy that never played in a top team but he always was top scorer

    I call it as I see it.
    A player like Duvan scoring a bunch of goals on a team like Sampdoria is valuable. And considering his teammate is more of their main target man (Quagliarella) it is more impressive what Duvan has done. There is only so many goals you can do in the Serie A with their defensive organization and only so many opportunities you can get with a team like Samp.
    Having two players in the top 10 of goals is impressive.

    Well Eder and Icardi there were top scorers too...........

    Yeah, Zapata is a haing great season and performance..........but isnt a feat or somnething close what he is doing because he is in sampdoria..........

    The roster of Sampdoria is not bad .......have a lot of NT players

    The whole discussion is based on the notion of a player needing to score a certain amount of goals in order to be a starter for the National team. It is a lot more nuanced than that and there are a lot more factors that go into it. Saying a player has to score 20 goals in order to start is not a very intelligent way of evaluating things.

    Every Goal scorer you are mentioning in your posts I would conceded are better pure goal scorers than Zapata which really has nothing to do with my argument or my main point.

    for me he can be part of the NT as Muriel is too..........but for me both are uncomplete players......and should improve a lot of in tthat aspect and in consistency
