Pitch Invader Greets James at Craven Cottage After Colombian Win
Colombia and Real Madrid superstar James Rodriguez is a popular man for good reason.
Colombia defeated the United States 2-1 on Friday night at Craven Cottage, home of Fulham in the Premier League.
And while James didn't score for Colombia, his popularity was as evident as ever, as, in the aftermath of the match, a pitch invader raced toward James to greet the man.

James apparently helped ease up the force with which stewards corralled the invader in an attempt to protect him:
"Pitch invader takes field, hugs James, security starts rouging him up, James & COL players tell security to take it easy. USA gets breather
