When compared to Colombia in the first round of the 2018 World Cup, England should be particularly wary of striker Radamel Falcao. In recent years, the three have often been punished by players who have played in the Premiership.

Why should England be so falcao?
World Cup 2018 schedule
The latest example is the England game to lose 0-1 Belgium a few days ago (the last round of the 2018 World Cup). In this match, Belgium won all three points thanks to the decisive phase of Adnan Januzaj, the 23-year-old midfielder is playing for Real Sociedad who has played for United.
Earlier, in the 2014 World Cup group, England also let strikers Mario Balotelli (Italy) and Luis Suarez (Uruguay) to break through the net. They won just one point after three rounds and had to return home early in the group D spot. Of course, no stranger to the two striker said because the duo had time to rave in the No. 1 tournament. England.
Needless to say, at EURO 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, England were totally blocked by Portugal's star Cristiano Ronaldo in the knockout round. CR7 was still rocking for M.U not real force for the record price. In a nutshell, in recent big tournaments, the three were punished by players with experience playing in the Premiership.

Notably, in the case of Ronaldo or Suarez, both Januzaj and Balotelli are disappointing faces in England. While Januzaj failed to find a place in M.U, Balotelli was even considered one of Liverpool's most disappointing contracts.
Like Januzaj and Balotelli, Falcao has also spent much of his spare time in the Premier League. Middlesbrough played for M.U and Chelsea on loan, with players earning £ 285,000 a week at Old Trafford. He scored five goals in 36 Premier League appearances in two seasons (from 2014 to 2016) and returned to Monaco as a loser.
Falcao is completely "off the grid" in England, but based on what Januzaj and Balotelli have done, Colombian striker still deserves to be considered a potential threat to coach Gareth Southgate. There are two reasons for believing Falcao's ability to make England difficult. Firstly, he knows English defenders well and has plenty of motivation to make the opponent's defense a must-have day.

This is what Januzaj did recently. Remembering after breaking through the England net, the Belgian midfielder once said: "In the past, when I was playing in England I have received countless criticism, so I decided to play today. It's good to let everyone know I'm not as bad as many people think I have achieved my goal when I scored a beautiful goal. "
Assuming Falcao has the same mindset as Januzaj, he will probably try to play with 200% of the style and this is the second reason why the British are particularly wary. In addition, the fact proved Falcao is far out, although 32-year-old striker has been identified as an injury in M.U and Chelsea.
Be aware, since returning to Monaco in 2016, he is no longer in trouble with injuries and even playing outbreaks than before. As evidence in the last two seasons, former Porto striker scored 54 goals for the national team in every play. With such a remarkable performance, if the hosts of Colombia had brought problems to England like what Balotelli, Januzaj, Ronaldo or Suarez had done, it was not strange.
