My votes for 2023: 1. Kylian Mbappe 2. Lionel Messi 3. Kevin De Bruyne 4. Erling Haaland 5. Antoine Griezmann
By one of the best I mean, like, a top 5 performer probably.
I don’t care about qualifier matches, what I do care about is major tournaments, and he did play very well in the 2011 Copa America. For me, if in...
So, with 07-08 and 08-09 out, he would still have 10 I would say.
According to Transfermarkt he had 32 goal contributions, which I though was enough. Besides, it would count anyway because I count Int’l...
I actually gave him 12 definite WC seasons I think and 2020/21 was a possible one which I wasn’t sure about.
Yeah, I think it was 11, not 12.
So, Out of 18 World Class Seasons (I thought it was 19, but it’s 18), it would only get demoted to 16, but actually, probably 17, because I’d...
I already defined it in my original post.
Also Matthaus (14) but he's in the middle of offensive or defensive.
Pele (15), C. Ronaldo (15), Messi (15), Gerd Muller (12), Puskas (19), Matthews (16), Di Stefano (14), Platini (10), Zico (10), Maradona (12),...
I mean the season
18 G/A, not just Assists.
I mean the season, although with Int'l tournaments (EURO in this case) it's 18 I think. I'm not sure if Transfermarkt has the right numbers...
I don't think he had the end product yet, even for a winger or wide-midfielder 14 G/A is ver low. Making the Euro 2004 team of the tournament is...
I would say every season of Cristiano's career from 2006-07 to 2020-21 is world class. I think that is 15 seasons.
Some possible examples: Pele - 15 (1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1973) Puskas - 18...
There's a lot of different definitions of World Class, but I'd go for: "one of the best in the world in his position". So, which footballers would...
I haven't done it yet. Who is the circulating Twitter user?

I rate Scotland higher in the 1870s/1880s as well as 1920s than England considering their Home Championship records in those periods.
Interesting. I also found another thread from XtraTime.org (https://www.xtratime.org/threads/strength-level-of-teams-between-the-wars.270819/)...
English amateur teams which was probably their like, 5th string side played other's top teams in the 1908 and 1912 Olympics and won. Their...
