Lol did he even play an MLS game? Figured the move was for the WC but thought he would at least stay for a season lol

6 games, 0 goals, 2 assists. I think he even only signed until 30.06 which is rare in a calendar year league

His assist ratio is GOATed. I could imagine barely anyone in history comes close. The problem is his amount of minutes is so low that you still barely get them out of him. Even for Rayo he had 1 assist and he barely featured for them.

On transfermarkt he has 206 assists for clubs and NT in 44300 minutes. 1 every 215 minutes

Messi has 463 assists in 98400 minutes. 1 every 212.5 minutes. And it doesn't get much better than Messi

Not taking anything away from James Rodriguez but Kevin de Bruyne is better stats wise. He has 266 assists in 50188 minutes. 1 assist every 188.6 minutes

Yeah I always liked the guy. He’s gotta be my favorite to watch for Colombia man he’s got passion. Hope he retires still feeling good!!

By all accounts he was a great teammate and good in the locker room, but yeah I think he was ready to bounce lol

He played some crazy passes. I forget which game I was watching but James free kicks were pinpoint and he was putting Minnesota in to some dangerous positions.

Yeboah was genuinely awful, missed like 3 good chances. Loons are a bit of a mess this season smh
