      I can only think of like 5 other Polish players that were actually class over the last decade. It’s kinda surprising how mid they are.

    These lists always just boil down to Messi and Ronaldo fans arguing over who is the GOAT. The most boring discussion in football.

    The amount of goals C. Ronaldo (and many european players) have on “small islands and states” is crazy though. Some dudes are literally dentists, butchers and gardeners hahahaa

    Suarez, Neymar and Messi are among the 8 South American players in history to reach 50 international goals.

    Counting active players, Cavani is another one.

    Tells you about how a massive feat that is in the region.

      Qualifying for the tournaments is easier overall for the big South American teams because they are much better than the weaker teams over the course of many games, but there is no comparison between the actual difficulty of the games. Weak South American teams are still incredibly difficult to beat. There isn’t a single easy game in CONMEBOL
