    https://www.fifa.com/u20worldcup/ne...juskowiak-expect-thrilling-tournament-3026538 says that Juan Pablo Angel is a FIFA Legend. It says "Angel made a name for himself with clubs such as Atletico Nacional, River Plate, Aston Villa and Los Angeles Galaxy." He scored 58 goals for the Red Bulls, which was his most for a club, and only 3 for the Galaxy. The Wikipedia player pages count domestic league goals only, and the Red Bulls page says he scored 62 for the Red Bulls in all competitions. His next most domestic league goals is 46 for River Plate, and I'm not going to check his goals in all competitions for them,

    Agreed. I've seen that kind of prejudice before, both in general and specifically with JPA. Recently I was listening to an English podcast and they talked about how he played at Villa and other places, but left out NYRB.

    I didn't read the FIFA article you site, and I don't know if it allows for comments, but if it does perhaps you want to set them straight. :D
