Radamel Falcao Tears ACL
On Wednesday Radamel Falcao, one of the best players in the world, torn his ACL in his knee. This will end the rest of his season with his club team and put is World Cup chances of playing to slim to none.He led his country of Columbia in scoring during the World Cup Qualifiers.
Doctors say his surgery will be in the next few days.They say that they will do everything to speed up the recovery process but with the World Cup in June it is unlikely he will be ready to compete in time. He took to Twitter to thank his fans for all of the support and says his World Cup dream is still alive and he is not ready to give up.
I really hated to hear of this news. He is one of the best strikers in the world and meant so much to his country. This diminishes any chance of Columbia’s advancement in the tournament for me. He is that important of a player. It is a shame that he will not have to have the whole world watching him because he deserves it. I am hoping he is able to come back but it is hard to look past the high odds that are stacked against him.
