Top credits for him, but man, Brazil really crapped the bed that day.

He took Brazil to school in that game. It is probably my favorite individual performance of all time.

Haaland can maybe reach R9 levels of scoring skill.

But he doesn’t really have the chance creation that CR7 did have. And well, no one will ever match Messi in being able to create goals out of thin air.

He is an incredibly good scorer. It’s the kind of player that changes a game.

It’s why everyone puts Ronaldo Fenomeno in their XI, because he was the best finisher, you could count on him turning a game with his physicality and finishing.

CR7 and Messi are outliers and people should remember that. Only two players in all history have been that gamebreaking.

I mean, you can argue that Klose was probably one of the best in positioning.

He was always in the right place at the opportune time. That is a skill by itself.

Ronaldo was the best striker with great physicality and great finishing, while Klose was the kind of player that would get you those goals on silly bounces or long crosses.

People need to remember that CR7 and Messi are outliers.

It will be a long time before we see someone get to that level, and to an extent it’s arguable that they only got as good due to each other.

If you say that Mbappe will score in the final of 2026, I’ll buy that first than Bellingham.

Man, France really looks strong already.

Some groups, but not necessarily all… CR7 is really loved even though he left when still under contract clearly to outrun his tax issues. Owen and Becks weren’t hated even when things soured.

Bale and Hazard are particularly awful cases for sure though.
