I think Andries Noppert definitely deserved a shout. Playing at a mid-table Eredivisie team in Heerenven, I think he definitely deserves to be playing at a considerably higher level after his really good/solid performances for the Netherlands. Being chosen to be no.1 over Pasveer, Bijlow, Flekken, and Cillessen is pretty impressive.
@@abhikmukherjee88 No Euro was the icing on the cake, Rooney was the youngest goal scorer at that time in the Premier league and he was very good for the Everton too.
Why the hate on James Rodriguez? In 3 seasons at Real Madrid he averaged 0.5 goals + 0.5 assists per 90 minutes. That's a lot better than Prime Zidane or Luis Figo and up there with the likes of Kaka and Ronaldinho. At Bayern he was at 0.4 goals and 0.6 assists per 90 minutes in his first season and 0.55 goals + 0.25 assists per 90 minutes in his second. 0.55 is what most strikers achieve. Even at Everton he was only behind Fernandes, KdB and Grealish for midfielders with most goal contributions.
Yeah it was unnecessary to group him with diouf & kleberson, gulf apart in class just was probs the type of player that needed a manager to back him always, arm around the shoulder type to get the best out of him even when he's out of form
@@someguynamedmike4766 agree with your assessment, however would like to emphasize that he wasn't really out of form that much. It's just that the classical CAM got out of fashion just when he was reaching his prime with top teams opting more and more to play a 4-3-3 with 1 CDM and 2 CM's instead of 2 CDM's and 1 CAM. Look at Gotze's career, and even Ozil was shipped off to Arsenal. I have a feeling that Messi/Ronaldo set the standards so ridiculously high that top top players weren't given their proper dues. Look at Benzema, he was booed off the field at Bernabeu dozens of times and many fans called for him to be sold. Now CR7 is gone they adore him.
James is/was always a decent player. He just never really lived up to the hype and pricetag after WC 2014. He was mediocre at Bayern and turned out to be a depth option only after a bit. If he was that great he wouldn't be playing in Qatar and Greece last couple of years
@@garymaidman625 yea, basically what they have done has never be done in the history of European football. The only players that matched their production have been Gerd Muller, Ferenc Puskas and Bican, but that was a different age where a lot of teams played in with 3 defenders and 5 attackers.
Musah honestly deserves way better than what he got, and speaking of the USMNT, Sergino Dest finally got his move to AC Milan to be permanent, lots of movement in the USMNT.
Gvardiol wasnt a surprise and hes already been linked with top team. Kudus and Musah are in good teams to help them to develop their game so they shouldnt leave this winter imo - Kudus is actually having a great seaso . Soutar deserves a transfer to a better team but might be a bit expensive. And Livakovic is said to be considered as a replacement for Neuer at Bayern Munich after Neuer's season ending injury so he might even make even more bigger jump than you suggested.
@@miguel_aquatico quite the opposite. He mentioned a lot of players that were already known and had big teams interested in. So the WC might increase their pricetags but thats it. And i disagree that some shouldnt actually leave their club. Amrabat already plays in the serie A but probably will get a big transfer but otherwise Kudus has been great for Ajax, Musah is just a good prospect, Gvardiol has been mentioned as the next top center back after his debut season for RB Leipzig, Soutar is a mid table epl level center back but will probably be overpriced.
@@RomaInvicta202 exactly. I mean come on. Gvardiol is 20 years old, it's his first world cup and then he has the task to defend from Messi, the legend that Gvardiol probably looked up to since he was a kid. Not to mention he missed the 2 training sessions before Argentina, because he was sick and had to take an injection
@@9delta988 simple, he already answered this question; he needed a club were he could play in the position he likes and were he can play in every game and were he gets trust from the manager. He found it in italy and with the Moroccan national team!
My favorite part of these videos are the Freddy Adu cameos. I look forward to seeing what picture will accompany “without further ado”. Keep up the great work.
So glad you said Yunus Musah. From the second I watched him play the WC I said please Liverpool sign him (Liverpool fan) because the potential I saw in him was incredible. So talented and smart on and off the ball already, and with great ball control and dribbling skills, he is one to watch.
Ao Tanaka deserves to be on the list. He is one of the reasons that the Japanese midfield is so good to the point that they reach the top of their group and he is still 24.
Doan was also brilliant. He already plays for a very good Bundesliga team in Freiburg, but I feel like he still deserves to perform at an even higher level.
Jhegson Sebas Mendez for Ecuador was amazing, he was the key to Ecuador performing so well in their first 2 games. His accumulated yellows and subsequent suspension cost Ecuador qualification into the second round as he was not available to play the game against senegal which resulted in a change of formation and personnel which eventually led to Ecuador's demise. His impressive statistics (passing, interceptions and chances created) was out of this world and he is a young MLS player that proved he can dominate on the world stage. Stylistically I would compare him to a hybrid of Jorginho with greater defensive attributes. What a player
I would go one step further then you did on Gvardiol, I always rated him very highly, and I truly believe he can win the Ballon D'or as a CB, he is so good at progression, passing, and dribbling while also being so physically gifted. He reminds me of a true libero in his style. He did get his ego chcked by Messi of course but I think he a very special player
nothing to do with ego lol, messi is just messi, even if hes the best young defender right now, you still need years of experience to even try to shut messi down, and even those with said experience get pushed aside by him relatively easily. messi is just too good, i hope this doesnt affect josko that much and just accepts the fact theres nothing you can against him, he did our nation proud and we're soooo lucky to have such a talented defender like him.
@@apan990 I didnt mean it like that, Gvardiol very much seems like a model citizen, I meant for young players its always good to have those learning experiences. This World Cup still has been a massive postive for him
I think good friend Jasko Gvardiol was extremely so amazing with his national team and hope to see him getting a move to a bigger club by next month,good friends!!!:-D
Don't think James Rodríguez deserves to be mentioned alongside Kleberson and Diouf. He was genuinely world class in his debut season at Real Madrid and decent after that. He didn't fit Zidane's style of play and then left the club. Of course, with the benefit of hindsight, he wasn't worth €80 million, and he ultimately left for nothing, but he did contribute to Madrid's succes in the Champions League during his time in Spain, and that's got to count for something.
With Kudus, Ajax have been open to get sell him even before the WC with a close move to Everton in Summer. Even now despite him being their top scorer in the Champions League this season there are still rumours that they wouldn’t mind letting him go for a fee below 50 mill
There are 2 players I believe you slept on with this one. Firstly Cho Gue-sung from South Korea. He played incredibly well in all of his games especially with his brace against Ghana. He’s only 24, plays in Korea for jeonbuk motors and deserves to be playing in Europe for sure. He is a perfect striker and the future for Korea. I am Speechless not many others are mentioning him. 2nd was keanu baccus of Australia. Might be lesser known but whenever he came on the pitch and touched the ball he created something and was very dangerous on ball against any opponent. In fact he held his own against Argentina and at times shined in that game. At only 24 and playing at st mirren in Scotland I feel he definitely deserves a spot at a much better club elsewhere in Europe 3rd as an honourable mention and I know you mentioned him as one also but goncalo Ramos of Portugal. Plays for benfica , is 21 and had an outstanding tournament and selected ahead of ronaldo for Portugal. Definitely deserves a move to a bigger European club. Also speechless he’s not being mention more by others
Bit surprised you didn't include Noppert, who had a fine world cup at goal for Oranje and is playing for a very moderate club at the moment, with Heerenveen
@@harveyholmes9533 Yes, even less. It is 35 or so. He only met a coach who trusted him about a year ago and has been a f*cking wall ever since. Keeping clean sheets and making impossible save after another.
After what is going on in the A-league right now, every Socceroo who plays in the A-League deserves a transfer. Could so a part two on what happened in Australia about what is happening currently.
@@cjwhits9813 They allowed Sydney to host the final for the next 3 years no matter what. Say two Melbourne teams are in the final, it will still be in Sydney. Absolutely retarded decision, how do they expect fans to be able to afford to travel.
Glad you didn’t include Mitoma as I think a mid-table Prem side is about his level overall and players like Minamino had their growth stunted by sitting on the bench at ‘bigger teams’. Also, as an Albion fan, Caicedo is clearly the player with the highest ceiling, in my opinion he’ll be at a Champions League contending club within 2 years after we pocket a 100M+ transfer fee. Also, I have to add Mac Allister who has been excellent this World Cup and had a great season for us. Would love to keep him, but again I do think a big(ger) club may come sniffing around.
@@Snapsportscards oh okay. We're having a rough week, Elon Musk and I. All this Twitter mess has really deflated the value of our Tesla stock, but we'll be okay. We've got some big ideas and I think we'll be fine.
Genuinely think that Gvardiol would be a good fit at Liverpool to counteract the inevitable decline of VVD and the fact that matip is at an advanced age and has a horrific injury record
As a Canadian it was great to see one of our defenders, Alistair Johnston, get a move to Celtic from MLS. Kamal Miller and Tajon Buchanan were both outstanding for us too, hoping they get moves to big clubs soon. Buchanan does already play from Club Brugge, who are in the knockout stage of the UCL, but his ceiling and ability should see him at a higher quality league than Belgium soon...
How on earth did u leave that fearless number 8 Moroccan midfielder from Angers who has even gotten the attention of the likes of Mourinho and Enrique?His name I think is boulu or sumthin close to that.He still had a fantastic game against France yesterday.
Kamal Miller (CAN) His progress over the past 12 months has been insane. He used to make me nervous any time he had the ball, but I think he was our best player this WC. Composed on the ball, and made some incredible tackles. Made a blunder against Croatia, so still has errors in his game, but if he continues to progress, he'd be a great signing for a bottom to mid-table European club.
As a Canadian, I watched him throughout qualifying, one of the best ground tacklers I've seen in football in a long time... one of the few players I see making a last-gasp sliding tackle and can be confident that he won't commit a foul...
Gvardiol...defender of the tournament untill he came face to face with Messi.....i mean there are some legendary defenders who have suffered more against messi ..so no shame
It is the same that he lost against 35-year-old hobit Messi. I'm from Croatia but Gvardiol is nothing special he lost against 35 years old average player like Messi. Terrible defending from Gvardiol. He is younger and stronger. and little hobit beat him. Nesta, Maldini, and Baresi would destroy Messi easily. Livakovic from Croatian players deserves t be on the list Argentina will loose in the finals France and Marocco are better teams than Croatia. Argentina is nothing special.
@@manuelb3525 dude just said gvardiol, the player alongside livakovic whose saved our asses pretty much every game this WC, "nothing special". pay no attention to him lol, us croats value josko highly and we wouldnt be in a WC semi final without him.
Bro he literally said he did not want to include high profile players that are already linked. Of which he mentioned Bellingham, Gakpo and Enzo Fernandez. 2:08
@@mattybaby1116 I don't think he qualifies for that. Everyone knew about Bellingham. Gakpo has been a standout for Netherlands, he was already being looked. Enzo has been in Europe for half a season and he only debuted with Argentina in one of the last pre-WC friendlies. Yes, he's been great with Benfica. But seriously, for just half a season.
Ounahi, juranovic, Ouhani, Koopmeiners, gakpo, noppert, kim jin su...they were all amazing and way better than some of the players mentioned in the video
Souttar absolutely blew me away when watching the Socceroos. I had the lowest expectations, not out of a lack of belief, but common let's be real we didn't expect jackshit. Whack I got was the best WC run we've ever had, with Souttar a large part to play in that!! Dude single-handedly stopped what would have been guaranteed equalisers against us, securing us the wins and getting us through to the R16. Dude is a beast!!
Ismaila Sarr deserves to be on this list. He’s young, skillful, and a threat everytime he had the ball for Senegal. And with all due respect, the guy’s too good to be playing Championship football. I can’t believe that almost no decent team from the PL, Serie A, or the Bundesliga still haven’t had a look at him yet. Criminally underrated player
I thought this was gonna be the number one spot. IMO Ismaila Sarr looked like Senegal’s best player. He is way too good to be playing for Watford let alone 2nd tier ⚽️.
Bit harsh on Harry Souttar’s technical ability. His role in playing out from the back is evident in a fair few Aussie goals. Not too quick though, that’s true.
Thought Croatia's Josip Juranovic (Celtic, 27) is worthy of a shout, since you are including players of that age. But the biggest surprise and future star for me was Alejandro Balde (Barcelona, 19). Beautiful player. I was very annoyed that Spain sent Gayà home as apparently the injury was not that bad and he would have missed at most the first game. To bring in a player from La Masia who is still playing for Barcelona B (in Spain's third division, which is far inferior to England's Division One when it comes to quality) though occasionally plays for the main team, was ridiculous. But I was proved wrong. Balde was almost as good as Gayà would have been and definitely better than Alba in this tournament.
Tajon Buchanan? It's already being reported that he's being scouted by teams across the big 5 leagues. It's not really a question of if he deserves a transfer, it's a question of when does that top team come knocking. I think you missed a bit on that one.
I'm kinda surprised Ritsu Doan didnt appear on this list. Granted I didnt fully watch all of Japans games but what I did see of him was fantastic, and I think he could play well at a much better club than Freiburg
Of the Australian side, I would put Riley McGree in there too. He plays for an underwhelming Middlesbrough, but could easily be playing in the Premier League or Bundesliga, any of the top 5 leagues for that matter.
As a USMNT Liverpool fan, I’d love us to sign Yunus Musah and mold him into the type of press resistant all round midfielder we haven’t had since Wijnaldum!
An interesting vid would be if every Prem team could sign a club legend in Jan, similar to the world cup ones. Everton's fortunes might change if they put Dixie Dean up top
just to bust this myth once and for all liverpool signed diouf and diao before 2002 world cup dont know if thats worse or better honestly but the myth Liverpool signed them because of the tournament gets repeated way way too much
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 427) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
Maybe it’s just me being biased and despite Mexico playing very aweful, 2 players I see getting a move would be Luis Chavez and Alexis Vega, maybe not top tier clubs but mid table clubs
Nothing to do with this video but it had me thinking. Imagine if England had Wilfred Zaha in this tournament. That would be a good video "Best 7 players to represent another country"...
Where is Ounahi ? He literally received praise from Luis Enrique, he is linked to a transfer to barcelona, he is 22 and he is earning 4000 € a month. He should at least feature in the video, he has been one of the revelations of the world cup way more than a musah was.
Ounahi: Morocco’s #8 is a 22 year old playing for a small ligue1 side and he’s been impressive in a difficult position
yeah watched ounahi. very skilled player, but we have to see him week out with the big boys. but he is good, I like him
For me the most impressive player at the world cup truly enjoyed watching him play
Most talented player in the tournament!

@@Snapsportscards oh okay. We're having a rough week, Elon Musk and I. All this Twitter mess has really deflated the value of our Tesla stock, but we'll be okay. We've got some big ideas and I think we'll be fine.

Genuinely think that Gvardiol would be a good fit at Liverpool to counteract the inevitable decline of VVD and the fact that matip is at an advanced age and has a horrific injury record
He will end up at Chelsea
Not a bad thought.
As a Canadian it was great to see one of our defenders, Alistair Johnston, get a move to Celtic from MLS. Kamal Miller and Tajon Buchanan were both outstanding for us too, hoping they get moves to big clubs soon. Buchanan does already play from Club Brugge, who are in the knockout stage of the UCL, but his ceiling and ability should see him at a higher quality league than Belgium soon...
Eustaquio canadian midfielder is amazing would love to see him at Arsenal
How on earth did u leave that fearless number 8 Moroccan midfielder from Angers who has even gotten the attention of the likes of Mourinho and Enrique?His name I think is boulu or sumthin close to that.He still had a fantastic game against France yesterday.
his name is azzedine ounahi , his name has even been linked with barcelona the last couple days , he's way too impressive and solid
Kamal Miller (CAN)
His progress over the past 12 months has been insane. He used to make me nervous any time he had the ball, but I think he was our best player this WC. Composed on the ball, and made some incredible tackles. Made a blunder against Croatia, so still has errors in his game, but if he continues to progress, he'd be a great signing for a bottom to mid-table European club.
I hadn’t heard of him before the tournament but was definitely impressed watching him against Belgium and Morocco, good shout
As a Canadian, I watched him throughout qualifying, one of the best ground tacklers I've seen in football in a long time... one of the few players I see making a last-gasp sliding tackle and can be confident that he won't commit a foul...
Gvardiol...defender of the tournament untill he came face to face with Messi.....i mean there are some legendary defenders who have suffered more against messi ..so no shame
true, it honestly goes to show just how amazing josko is, was only able to get humbled by the GOAT himself.
No shame on that. He just faced Messi, but we should not overlook his amazing performance throughout the world cup
It is the same that he lost against 35-year-old hobit Messi. I'm from Croatia but Gvardiol is nothing special he lost against 35 years old average player like Messi. Terrible defending from Gvardiol. He is younger and stronger. and little hobit beat him. Nesta, Maldini, and Baresi would destroy Messi easily. Livakovic from Croatian players deserves t be on the list Argentina will loose in the finals France and Marocco are better teams than Croatia. Argentina is nothing special.
@@bojanfrntic8596 Messi a hobbitand nothing special? Dude, why so much hate? Try to enjoy a little more
@@manuelb3525 dude just said gvardiol, the player alongside livakovic whose saved our asses pretty much every game this WC, "nothing special".
pay no attention to him lol, us croats value josko highly and we wouldnt be in a WC semi final without him.
Crazy to me that you didn't put Enzo Fernández here. There's already rumors that Manchester United, Real Madrid, and I think even Liverpool want him.
Bro he literally said he did not want to include high profile players that are already linked. Of which he mentioned Bellingham, Gakpo and Enzo Fernandez. 2:08
@@mattybaby1116 I don't think he qualifies for that. Everyone knew about Bellingham. Gakpo has been a standout for Netherlands, he was already being looked. Enzo has been in Europe for half a season and he only debuted with Argentina in one of the last pre-WC friendlies. Yes, he's been great with Benfica. But seriously, for just half a season.
Ounahi, juranovic, Ouhani, Koopmeiners, gakpo, noppert, kim jin su...they were all amazing and way better than some of the players mentioned in the video
The Adu joke never gets old
Never change, alfie.
Souttar absolutely blew me away when watching the Socceroos. I had the lowest expectations, not out of a lack of belief, but common let's be real we didn't expect jackshit. Whack I got was the best WC run we've ever had, with Souttar a large part to play in that!!
Dude single-handedly stopped what would have been guaranteed equalisers against us, securing us the wins and getting us through to the R16.
Dude is a beast!!
I think Qatars goalkeeper deserves a move to Accrington Stanley
Accrington Stanley, who are dey?
@@kieronparr3403 the biggest club in England 😂
th-cam.com/video/pieK7b4KLL4/w-d-xo.html
@@bababababababa6124 it might be too big for him. He should move to Borehamwood instead
@@tombo416 don't you dare disrespect my local
Ismaila Sarr deserves to be on this list. He’s young, skillful, and a threat everytime he had the ball for Senegal. And with all due respect, the guy’s too good to be playing Championship football. I can’t believe that almost no decent team from the PL, Serie A, or the Bundesliga still haven’t had a look at him yet. Criminally underrated player
I thought this was gonna be the number one spot. IMO Ismaila Sarr looked like Senegal’s best player. He is way too good to be playing for Watford let alone 2nd tier ⚽️.
Clubs have been trying to sign him for a number of years now but Watford keep asking for a lot of money and putting clubs off.
Christiano Ronaldo should be on this list. I think he really deserves a transfer after that world cup performance.
LOL
Taremi’s a shout 2 goals and 1 assist in a team which parks the bus in every game plus he’s been unreal for Porto the last 2 seasons
Bit harsh on Harry Souttar’s technical ability. His role in playing out from the back is evident in a fair few Aussie goals. Not too quick though, that’s true.
After his impressive goalscoring displays in the group stages, I think West Ham should move for Equador's Enner Valencia...
Top sevens in every position of all time Serie A
Jhegson Mendez, Felix Torres, Azzedine Ounahi, Selim Amallah, Kamal Miller and Cho Gue-sung deserve moves too
Enzo Fernandez
Thought Croatia's Josip Juranovic (Celtic, 27) is worthy of a shout, since you are including players of that age. But the biggest surprise and future star for me was Alejandro Balde (Barcelona, 19). Beautiful player. I was very annoyed that Spain sent Gayà home as apparently the injury was not that bad and he would have missed at most the first game. To bring in a player from La Masia who is still playing for Barcelona B (in Spain's third division, which is far inferior to England's Division One when it comes to quality) though occasionally plays for the main team, was ridiculous. But I was proved wrong. Balde was almost as good as Gayà would have been and definitely better than Alba in this tournament.
Aside from his amazing defensive work, I thought Harry Soutar’s composure on the ball and distribution out from the back was first class.
Thank god you mentioned harry Sutar. I have not seen a single mention of him this world cup but he has been playing extrordinarily well
Livakovic is 28??? Here I thought he was some young new sensation 😅. Either way, hope he finds his way to a big club!
for a goalkeeper 28 is still young
Tbf goalkeepers tend to have longer careers then the other players since their age does not realy effect their playing capibility
I was just surprised at his age because of how young he looks. He's definitely still gonna many years ahead.
We all know whoever plays next to the best defender in the world Lovren will be made to look good 😉
Vincent Aboubakar from Cameroon deserves to be on this list. Please try to be more critical next time. Peace from Serbia.
CODY GAKPO! 👏👏👏👏 CODY GAKPO! 👏👏👏👏 CODY GAKPO! 👏👏👏👏
Cody you are, Cody is good, Cody is good
Boufal and ounahi from Morocco need big transfers
Tajon Buchanan? It's already being reported that he's being scouted by teams across the big 5 leagues. It's not really a question of if he deserves a transfer, it's a question of when does that top team come knocking. I think you missed a bit on that one.
Day 363: Indonesia XI If All Eligible Players Had Declared For Them.
Keep dreaming bocah
Gvardiol. Otherwise known as... The Phantom of the Opera. What a bad ass!
Or Minister of defense!
Amrabat, Gvardiol, Ounahi, Enzo Fernandez, Kudus, Livakovic, Bellingham, Musah, Adams, Bonou, Goncalos Ramos, Noppert, Souttar, Mitomo
Goncalo ramos ruined his carrier so i doubt that
I'm kinda surprised Ritsu Doan didnt appear on this list. Granted I didnt fully watch all of Japans games but what I did see of him was fantastic, and I think he could play well at a much better club than Freiburg
He just arrived this season, but next year or 2024 deserves a big move
I think Lukaku should be considered. His phenomenal play in his one game that he was subbed on in really showed how great of a player he could become
I'm curious are you going to potentially do the worst starting XI of each world cup team? I think it'd be interesting to see what you think.
James Rodriguez even if individually was not a revolutionary footballer he’s stacked a good number of silverware
Glad to see the Yunus mention
Ounahi has been excellent though. Deserved a shout
1. Josip Gvardiol （Croatia )
2. Zohammed Kiudus (Ghana)
3.Giorgian De Assascatera (Uruguay)
4. Harry Souttar (Australia)
5. Sofyan Amrabat (Morocco)
6. Yunus Musah (USA)
7.Dominik Livakovic （Croatia )
Of the Australian side, I would put Riley McGree in there too. He plays for an underwhelming Middlesbrough, but could easily be playing in the Premier League or Bundesliga, any of the top 5 leagues for that matter.
Ounahi is the best and he deserves a place in this video
Wouldn't mind seeing Musah come back home to Arsenal
Perfect long term replacement for for Partey
Cho the Korean no.9 deserves a shout
As a USMNT Liverpool fan, I’d love us to sign Yunus Musah and mold him into the type of press resistant all round midfielder we haven’t had since Wijnaldum!
Juranovic the Croatian Right back I can see him going to spurs to replace Emerson royal
Lets be honest, even my grandma would be better then emerson
An interesting vid would be if every Prem team could sign a club legend in Jan, similar to the world cup ones. Everton's fortunes might change if they put Dixie Dean up top
Gvardiol and Gakpo to Man Utd would be nice add on in the squad!!
As an Everton fan, I’m devastated we couldn’t get the Kudus deal over the line in the summer.
3:33 the dutch learned to the americans the correct name of the sport FOOTBALL
How about the Cameroon goalkeeper against Brazil Epassy??...he was outstanding in that game
Two of my country men Livaković and Gvardiol 🇭🇷 also I read somewhere Gvardiol was offered 90 mil euro to join a team
Unless you think Angers is a top tier team, how is Azziddine Ounahi not on this list? My guy is like the Moroccan Iniesta!
just to bust this myth once and for all
liverpool signed diouf and diao before 2002 world cup
dont know if thats worse or better honestly
but the myth Liverpool signed them because of the tournament gets repeated way way too much
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 427)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
Hope it happens would be a good mini series
Bastian was a class player but wasn't near the peak of his powers in the premier League so I'd have someone like Robert Huth higher
Something Alfie would say aswell
another lad, issa aidouni from tunisia.doing the same as amrabat for his team..
Giorgian De Arrascaeta already plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world. ❤️🖤
Tyler Adams and Yunus Musah are gonna see major pay days
Mec alliester & Enzo Fernandez should be added
Bereszyński at 30, has played best in his career. I wouldn't be surprised if he signs with Napoli.
Maybe it’s just me being biased and despite Mexico playing very aweful, 2 players I see getting a move would be Luis Chavez and Alexis Vega, maybe not top tier clubs but mid table clubs
Noppert deserves a mention
Hes been amazing
Thanks for making my morning.
Nothing to do with this video but it had me thinking. Imagine if England had Wilfred Zaha in this tournament. That would be a good video "Best 7 players to represent another country"...
Hey Alfie, great video 🤙🏻
Not gonna lie that Boufal guy from morocco was impressive
Maybe do a video on who has the best World Cup. Do a top or worst 7 or do all 32 teams.
Ounahi, amrabat, Gakpo, noppert, e. Fernandez, Bellingham just a few that missed out
Where is Ounahi ? He literally received praise from Luis Enrique, he is linked to a transfer to barcelona, he is 22 and he is earning 4000 € a month. He should at least feature in the video, he has been one of the revelations of the world cup way more than a musah was.
Yeah Harry! He was easily the best player in each game
arrascaeta is one of the best players playing in south america. i hope he goes to europe
happy Souttar is getting the attention he deserves
