Which players when they retire will turn into a total mess ?

 

I'm going for Rooney and possibly Stirling .

Off the top of your head, can you think of a player who has been described as 'The Next [insert footballing legend here]' and actually ended up being anywhere near as good, or even becoming better? It seems to be a description that's reserved for players that never get anywhere near the same level as the player they're compared to.

Messi. 100% of left footed Argentine forwards = the 'New Maradona'.

Ah god aye, of course. I suppose that throws in the other Argentinians that were given that description, Ortega and Aimar. It's funny thinking about Aimar being Messi's favourite player as well.

Aye, it's weird because their careers ovelapped but when Messi was still a dwarf only growing in age in Argentina, before he went to Barca, Aimar (and Saviola) absolutely dominated for River Plate.

Surely Rooney will have had to have been the new Owen at some point?

Under what circumstances could a player play international football for two different countries?

If it was only a friendly for the first country. If the country they are from becomes independent in the course of their career

There's something about player with Kosovo links being capped by Switzerland (and other countries)  and they'll be able to play for Kosovo internationally because they chose to represent Switzerland before Kosovo became a full FIFA/UEFA member

The whole friendly doesn't count rule is complete bullshit btw, as far as i'm concerned Costa should have been locked in to only play for Brazil once he played the friendly. Also tbh he probably would have had more success playing for them on a individual level. :lol:

Pascal Chimbonda played half a dozen games for Guadeloupe, then was capped by France later in his career.

 

Guadelope is not a member of FIFA, it's the same reason why some full international Norwegians have turned out for the Sapmi national team.

Same as Basque and Catalan national teams i would think. And Corsica who Remy Cabella has played for. They sometimes play proper national teams in friendlies.

Should boots like these be banned?  I think they offer zero protection if someone was to event stand on a players foot hard.
