I’ll start, richarlison vs serbia
Macclesfield town player scored from half way line a year or two ago.
henderson vs chelsea
Matty Phillips Scottish lad who played for West Brom scored from near his own half bar and in when they had already been relegated absolute screamer.
You can’t be a ‘bang average footballer’ and play in most nations’ top divisions.
For most people, the best player at their school, the one that absolutely dances round everyone else is probably going to be non-league or semi-pro standard at best.
Even ‘shit’ premier league footballers have a skill set that will make moat wannabes weep.
Bro if Richarlison is bang average what happened to standards
Lilian Nalis against Leeds. Belter of a first PL goal.
Macheda!!!
Richarlison average lol…. No “average” footballer plays in the Premier League. Spurs isnt even a relegation team.
Average players dont get to play for Brazil either btw.
Average to his peer set. In terms of premier league strikers, he’s average at best. 1 goal in 27 games last season likely puts him well below average.
If you compare him to every person whose ever played football at any level, sure he’s top 1%
He’s top 0.00001% compared to everyone who has ever played football
This goal by Nicolás Rotundo of Peñarol. Back then and to this day, his name is used for any amateur player that is technically awful and/or clumsy. He was a DM whose best skills were aerial threat and defensive cover, but the rest of his game was BAD. So when he scored this goal the whole country went nuts!
The FIFA playing, only ever watched elite level football and never gone to a game in their life generation have spoken.
Brazilian internationals playing in the English top division are now “bang average”.
Overage is 85 rating on FIFA, duh.
Maynor Figueroa’s freekick from his own half vs Stoke comes to mind
Stephen Reid screamer for Blackburn. Hardest shot I’ve ever seen.
If only Markovic’s goal versus Sunderland went in…
Macheda winning the league with his goal vs Villa
