It should be pointed out that Endrick reached 56 games younger than the other two, tbh (which also led to him playing fewer minutes per game). I think both were already over 18 at that point, and Endrick is 17 and 4 months.

We are living in some’s Football Manager save

More on the midfield than on the defense I would say, as the back line of 4 is fighting for its life against 6 dudes with only one midfielder tracking back

Biggest bottle job I have ever seen. They turned two 3x1 into 3x4 in a FUCKING WEEK

Eurocentric as hell, as expected. Imagine putting Bologna, Rennes, Freiburg, Lens, Union Saint Gilloise, and the like ahead of Palmeiras, Fluminense, or Flamengo.

It is borderline irrational, as Flamengo is literally significantly richer than those clubs and has access to a much bigger and better talent pool at a lower price.

Best league in the world bar none

At the last world cup when Spain threw a game to avoid us? I’m pretty sure that everyone was pretty scared of us until the Croatia game, lol. This sub is so reactive

Henry wasn’t ever there best player in the world

English players. This sub did the same to rashford last year, people were arguing that he was a better winger than Vini

England has a good player

Because Real Madrid literally showed in practice that whenever they pay tens of millions for a Brazilian kid, there is a high chance that it was a good deal. Neymar, Vini, Rodrigo and Marcelo had to prove this on the pitch, all being vital in UCL wins, objectively undeniable success. Others get much more praise with way less done. It extends beyond the guys I mentioned - just compare how much attention is given to Alisson or Ederson relative to Ter Steven or Courtois, too. Alisson, like Vini, was snubbed from being in the list of the best keeper; Casemiro and Thiago Silva had to move to England in their 30s to start being seen after very successful careers. Can you imagine the attention that an English kid would get for doing this and what rodrygo did to city?

Imagine thinking a Brazilian would get this dickridding after so little, lol. Vini won an UCL with a goal in the final, slapped everyone around for a full season, was recognized by some in the sport as top 3 in the world, and… Was left behind Declan Rice and 9 other players in the “the best” shortlist. Only a few select countries get this media attention
