Duncan Ferguson Criticizes James Rodriguez: "He Could Not Run"

Following Colombia's elimination from the 2026 World Cup, James Rodriguez's performance has become a major talking point. Former Everton coach Duncan Ferguson offered a scathing assessment of the star midfielder's physical state.

Ferguson stated, "It's incredible James is still playing; he could not run, but technically he was up there with the best. " These comments reignite discussions about Rodriguez's perceived lack of physical exertion on the pitch.
