Brazil is missing some talent in the midfield and sidebacks though.

Heavily disagree on this. Douglas Luiz, Bruno Guimarães, André, and Lucas Paqueta off the top of my head should be good enough

Absolutely false. Messi being the greatest is very reasonable, he is for me. But the most influential is by far Pelé for how he globalized and pioneered the game, or Cruyff if you want to look at tactics and managing.

Not a chance you’re selling England’s 4th choice goalkeeper

He’s not 4th choice in any reality unless he keeps warming the bench until the summer. He’s 2nd choice now and would realistically still be there in January when we can sell

If it was in the summer then probably. After Arteta’s mismanagement of the situation his value dropped

Please, hope Venezuela gets more and more talent playing in Europe. The rise of the MLS has hurt our young players’ development I feel

I’m happy we (Venezuela) are 4th right now but I’m having my doubts after the last two games. Oh well, now it’s just waiting for the Copa

Unfair red card affected the game but even before that Brazil couldn’t finish anything and when that happens, a set piece goal is all it takes.

Don’t rate Diniz ball at the national level lol

That’s never a red

Get fucked cheaters

Orgasmic pass by Jorginho there

Reducing the argument to G/A is dumb. Messi impacts the game in other ways. So does Haaland. Also the difference in the quality.of the league and their national team.

Fucking hell that’s ridiculous. Getting banned from the stadium is understandable. Getting fucking charged? What a joke

You won’t challenge. Half of your fans are saying a title challenge should not be the expectation. Gary is annoying sometimes but he’s right about that. It’s 10 games in.

Should’ve been Haaland imo but it was clear the World Cup fairytale ending was too special for them to not give the award to Messi.
