James David Rodriguez Rubio commonly known simply as James, is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Premier League club Everton, and captains the Colombia national team. He is commonly ranked as one of the best players of his generation. He is praised for his technique, vision and playmaking skills, and often referred as the successor to his compatriot Carlos Valderrama.

Once considered to be among the best young players in the world, James is a versatile footballer who can play in several positions across the midfield or front-line, having played as a playmaker, winger, and central midfielder for both club and country, although he has stated in interviews that his preferred role is as an attacking midfielder behind the strikers. Praised for his pace, technical skills, vision, and his ability to create chances for teammates as an advanced playmaker, James' performances as a classic number 10 have led to comparisons with the famous Colombian footballer Carlos Valderrama; Valderrama himself declared James as his "successor".

Although naturally left-footed, James has shown ambidexterity in his dribbling and style of play. His goal scoring abilities were a highlight of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where he managed to claim the Golden Boot despite Colombia's elimination in the quarter finals following a 2–1 loss to Brazil. He is also an accurate free kick taker, and a goal threat from anywhere on the pitch. This has made James recognized for his unpredictability as noted by Marca writer Justin Sherman: "One of the differences that James has with other players is that, apart from being very good outside the area, he is also good inside. He has the qualities of a No. 9 and is capable of finishing with a shot from the head or with either foot with great effectiveness."<\/P>","776ABA890334BE6B3BFB7EFC5D96F457":"Olympiacos Piraeus","BFE43781BF2A8A9E3EADFCC3CC1AF971":"1","3D0CAED1D8820318D15DE014CB00C4C7":"Spain,Colombia","F4AE865DDB6B58D9":"James David Rodriguez Rubio","C99F63DD4716E450533B17E1817DB7B9":"1991-7-12","97C471949E1057BEF55B60029EC94B5E":"0","7DECC0B2C7F83A01B36F8F67FA49C295":"2023-7-29","2B1A74B80063A830":"1","97B41D9FF6388BC00A2A0187557FA1F5":"","C377723034B3384C":"1015","38FCF119BEE99893":"Sao Paulo FC","031D6804B38B16BF":"79281","5E5612EA3A8A833D":"181cm","e_index":6};
