    Very glad to see Guedes is living up to his potential. The national team will be able to depend on him for the next decade.

    Guedes is not the next Ronaldo though but as far as someone who can be, it would have to be either Diogo Jota or Joao Felix

    Now Guedes if I had to compare him to a younger version of someone, it would either be a young Pauleta or a young Rui Costa

    Holy crap, I don't know what to say here.

    First of all, Diogo Jota to be the next Ronaldo? Not even in his wildest and most ridiculous of dreams.

    Guedes is like Rui Costa or Pauleta!?! Guedes is a head down, fast paced dribbler. Rui Costa was a slow playmaker who excelled in passing and using his vision. Pauleta was a classic center forward with good movement.

    Guedes plays NOTHING like either one of those.

    Yikes.

    A great goal, but he only lives up to potential when he find a way to stay healthy

    Ofori, I like you, but man those are terrible comparisons.
    if you want to learn more about scouting and how to make proper and accurate player comparisons, study my posts.

    17 games played, 1 goal scored. Yikes. This dude can't stay healthy.

    Play him as a winger, not as a forward, and he'll have some success. But he's a liability from a defensive standpoint.

    Should still be called. Generally plays well for Portugal, don't care about his club form. Would have been an asset today. He has really good attributes: Height, speed, workhorse, good shot.



    Lest we forget the golasso in this game
