Like 4 of them are in that madrid 2 games, missed 3 in a aingle game

The greatest of the greatest are having games like his on Sunday?

Yes? Even Messi and Ronaldo had legit 0/10 games.

Hell, I remember Messi being a cone in the CL and Ronaldo having longer goal droughts than Haaland ever had.

I worded incorrectly, should've added that I mean goals scored in a season

Even though anyone who has a bit of logic know I obviously did not mean that he suddenly became the all time leading goalscorer

True, before southgate we were such a great team.

tbf Bellingham winning England something while the team is being sandbagged and handicapped by Southgate would be a legit achievement

Because Real Madrid literally showed in practice that whenever they pay tens of millions for a Brazilian kid, there is a high chance that it was a good deal. Neymar, Vini, Rodrigo and Marcelo had to prove this on the pitch, all being vital in UCL wins, objectively undeniable success. Others get much more praise with way less done. It extends beyond the guys I mentioned - just compare how much attention is given to Alisson or Ederson relative to Ter Steven or Courtois, too. Alisson, like Vini, was snubbed from being in the list of the best keeper; Casemiro and Thiago Silva had to move to England in their 30s to start being seen after very successful careers. Can you imagine the attention that an English kid would get for doing this and what rodrygo did to city?

Ipswich are already too massive mate we don't need Bellingham.

Bild also read heavily into this tbh, they make biased connections they want to have.

They see Bellingham going to the fans alone after a match and make it about him being selfish because Haaland was really popular but we have no right to attribute this to a characteristic of his.

I dont want to blame him for soaking up that atmosphere alone and it wasnt every time tbh.

Same way Bild attributed Adeyemis dip in form to his new girlfriend.

They spin stories and are biased as fuck.

The only other example is when he dissed Schulz but here im biased because im all for "pregnant wife beater" slander.

And Bellingham wants straight to the top of football, same as Haaland.

It's not like they left us for sidegrades, they simply outgrew us and when they do, there is like 3-4 clubs to go to.

There is no shame in admitting that.

We molded two of the best players on the planet and have molded a couple of them in the past.

Claiming the thrones of Messi and Ronaldo would create a huge amount of Aggressive Expansion, and Erling's force limit and army size would make his new subjects have really high liberty desire.

Yeah as I said, at least 15 season of consistent goal scoring and title winning

But who knows

Imagine being brazilian and thinking players from your country don't get enough hype lol. You're fine. Endrick was crowned the next Pele before he even turned 16.

I meant that, Haaland's best goalscoring season is still very far away from the numbers Messi and Cristiano put during their peak. So he still needs to get better than his current peak, and maintain the level for 15 years.

No. Shearer has the record for most goals in total, not the record for goals per season.

Haaland scored 36 last season, Shearer's best was 34.

"1 year later..."

"It was the thrones of Vinicius, Mbappé, Haaland, Bellingham... But [Vitor Roque/Endrick] is the only one"
