Jude Bellingham has taken Real Madrid and World Football by a storm right now!
He’s gathered 15 goals + 4 assists in just 16 games for Real Madrid breaking the records of Puskas, Di Stefano and Ronaldo himself. All of this while just recently turning 20 years old, with his entire career ahead of him.
What he’s doing is unheard of, perhaps only Ronaldo Fenomenon himself had a better start to the season than him as a 20 years old.
The differentiator however is his impact in the game, he’s truly bossing the free role at Madrid contrubuting in goals, assists, key passes, dribbles, crosses, headers, flicks, finishing, playmaking, 1-2 passing, off ball movements, interceptions, tackles, positioning, strength, dominating, work rate and even leadership… There is truly nothing that this boy can’t do!
I genuinely cannot point a single weakness in his game right now, he’s top of the charts for almost all attributes since the start of the season. So these achievements so far in the season brings the question, What is his ceiling as a footballer provided he continues this streak? Generational? All-Timer? GOAT candidate?
England has the best squad they had in their whole history.
maybe nostalgia but the squad with Lampard, Beckham, Gerrard, Terry, Scholes, Rooney is the best for me
In terms of player by player that squad was better I think. But todays squad is much more balanced and can actually get along.
Darius Vassell and Phil Neville our first options off the bench in that Euros…
Man for man, England had a more stacked starting XI in the 2000s than now. They had world class players in every position in those days. This England team performs better and is also pretty stacked but not quite world class in every position yet. Like another person said, the 2000s England team mostly peaked around kind of the same time (2004-06) but this one has more of a mix of veterans and youngsters so they should be decent for longer.
