In an international game... barely an international game, an Olympic game where it was evident Cavani's heart wasn't in it (unlike at Napoli where his workrate is tremendous). If we judge players on international performances, neither Messi or Ronaldo is a top 10 player in the world and Javi Martinez belongs in League One based on his Olympic performances.
For me, Falcao pisses all over Cavani.
I rate Falcao higher too but Cavani is a fantastic striker also.
I wasn't basing my argument on an 'Olympic' game as such. Just that you can't really pick and choose which games you want to take into consideration when judging one's ability.
Cavani is a very good player, no doubt. But, I do think there's a slight over optimism on him and I honestly don't think he'd cut it in the premiership, whereas with Falcao I do.
Why can't Cavani put his heart into an international match which is to help his country and himself win Gold medals?
I've seen him play well, such as when they beat you at home, I've seen him non-existant like at Chelsea away.
It's all opinions of course.
