You should probably write something on that!

Very well said, thank you!
Still like to stay awake form the would have and should have side of things when it comes to trophies as this can be said in much too many cases
The UEFA Champions League belongs to Ronaldo
Some very good points here. I feel like he definitely gets a bit of stick and I have to be honest, not everybody loves him. But to say that him missing a penalty in the shootout of a final is very harsh. It has to remembered that he scored during the first 90 minutes and had a great campaign.
I’ve seen those ratios that’s why I have gone with the stats that only he holds. But it is extremely impressive as these other players do not have near the amount records that’s he does.
It is very hard to argue who the king of the champions league is.

Yes he played as a forward, but he was a winger. Never a striker at United. At United the 9 role was filled Predominantly by Wayne Rooney.

Extremely bias in my opinion. Being partnered with a superstar should not affect your MVP stock.
LeBron James cannot win the NBA's MVP award
Exactly right. Romero stood grounded in the middle. Fighters don’t have to fight the champions fight. Shows in what way Adesanya likes to bang.

Pretty harsh on Mourinho there, I think everyone would agree he has yet to really fail as a manager. Give respect where respect is due
Injury troubles at White Hart Lane
I actually did include Scholes! I am happy you picked up on this. I was unable to have my line-up depicted on this article where Scholes shared the 4 midfield spots with Lampard, Gerrard and Beckham.
What happened to England's golden era?
No unfortunately they could not. Remember, this is my list! What would you change? 🙂

i do think the a-league has poor crowds, yes

Sorry, the edit says that Ndidi defies that of a central defender. What I submitted was to say that Ndidi’s football defines the traditional central defensive midfielder.
Leicester have done it before and they can do it again
Might clog up your article a bit but I would be really interested to see a little analysis of this! Great work
What happened? Premier League Matchday 11, 2019-20
Agreed. I actually just titled this galacticos of the early 00”s. Title wasn’t in my control.
