I mean, I've watched some disastrous games from both Messi and Cr7, it's not like every single one of their +900 games has been a 10/10

This being said, and it might sound controversial I know, but I believe Haaland could reach Ronaldos level, he's already a world class finisher, is good in the air and has crazy top speed, only thing he lacks in comparison might be the dribbling alltough he doesn't really needs that when bulldozering through the defenders does the trick. This being said, he's still so young, maybe he develops some crazy techniques too. His biggest challange in this case would be to keep up with the numbers for 15+ seasons, but who's to say he can't do that.

Messis level on the other hand, is unreachable, for any human being. And every comparison between the two would just be unfair and not make much sense.

You are selling CR7 short. Some of Cristiano's performances in knockout rounds of CLs in threepeat are stuff of almost unattainable legend. If Haaland can come close to that, hats truly off. But I doubt that he will.

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

True, before southgate we were such a great team.

I mean we would’ve literally won the last Euros if we weren’t being sandbagged by Southgate…

Came down to a crap shoot so you can argue that England can win a Major Trophy. They could have won World Cup too. That game against France was neck and neck.

i recently watched the Beckham docu on Netflix. it will be interesting how Bellingham does in the next tournament. similat age and similar "chosen one) status as Beckham in '98

It's nothing to do with English hype. There was German media, then Spanish media, and now world media talking about him

If you read my comment you’ll notice I actually said English media were ‘watching the hype train take off’.
