The Not-so-Bright Stars of this World Cup.

Leaving them Wrong-Footed

Juan Quintero : Given how Colombia's Playmaker-in-chief James, been plagued with injury, many wondered how would Colombia deal with the issue. In stepped Quintero. Playing for River Plate (On loan) many wouldn't have given him much of a shot, ( You guys should start paying South American club football a bit more attention :D ). Despite a loss against Japan he was excellent with a cheeky Free Kick goal the high-point. With one goal, two solid assists, three big chances created and 5 key passes, he would already have had a great World Cup but no. His game goes beyond. Its his excellent vision, defense-splitting passes, great timings on runs and good dribbling ability that have lit up his and Colombia's game (seriously, you should go watch some of his highlights). Given how James participation in further games remain a doubt, how he does as the creative force, will go a long way in ensuring Colombia does well this World Cup. He could be this year's breakout star- No kidding.
