Japan defeat hands Falcao a Polish date with destiny

Radamel Falcao was a notable absentee from the 2014 World Cup when James Rodriguez's six-goal haul carried Colombia to a historic quarter-final finish.

Now, at the age of 32, it is the Monaco striker's chance to shine. The question is: can the Colombia captain shoulder the huge burden of relaunching Los Cafeteros (the Coffee Makers) following a shock 2-1 defeat to Japan that has made their final Group H games against Poland and Senegal must-win encounters?
"We are now facing two teams who need to win, so for us these games will be like finals. It's them or us."
