About the copa America and the Euros; I grew up in South America and I can tell you we watch the Euros with passion as many of us have roots or family in Europe. The main difference is the broadcast time; in America we can watch the euros in the afternoon and the copa America in the evening. Living in Europe, the copa America is broadcasted mainly in the late night; that makes it more difficult to watch and enjoy

Matter of opinion, but I think Salah is a better player than Kane. Salah is the best RW in history of prem, whereas you could argue that there are 3/4 better strikers than Kane. I actually think Kane is an underrated player because of his lack of trophies, I think he’s amazing, but I think when both players retire Salah will be (and should be) seen as a better player. Appreciate that it’s a silly comparison in the first place given that they play in different positions!
@palashrawat40122 күн бұрын
I think your point on when they retire Salah will be seen is better is true but that's not because it's objectively true but because of Kane's trophy count (although Salah's cabinet is also not huge). Kane is a better scorer in all ways, both are equal passers..only thing Salah gets one over is pace for me while Kane will have a better longevity as an elite player.

That says far more about the right wingers and how modern fans decide how good players are, and far less about if he's better than Harry Kane.

As to blacking out games. Here in Canada we blackout hockey games based on region. So if you live within about 2 hours of the game, you don’t get to see the game on TV (and I believe it used also be if the game was sold out they would show on TV). So even though England is tiny that would allow some people to watch some 3pm games.

Unbelievable that none of Pele's attributes made the list. He was by far the most complete player of all time. The best finishing skills easily (having scored from all positions on the pitch, from deep within his own half to all angles inside and outside the penalty box; scored all kinds of freekicks, from Roberto Carlos-type distances to Zico type freekicks; headers, bicycle kicks, dribbling 6 players inside the box with single touches against UCL finalists and so on; goals following multiple sombreros etc.; in comparison, Gerd Muller, a great finisher, could only score from inside the box). Pele was as fast as Henry (as seen in comparison videos). His left foot was strong (scored left-footed freekicks from Roberto Carlos distances). His right foot is as good as that of any other player. His intelligence and innovativeness is unmatched (he invented several moves; listen to Tostao for details on his intelligence). His dribbling was incredible, that too moving past players with ease on horribly uneven pitches wearing much heavier equipment. His stats are unparalled (highest goals and assist ratios in official and competitive matches; highest total goals in history and probably assists as well; highest team goal contribution % in history in official, competitive, and all professional matches). His achievements are second to none (3 World Cups, 10 international trophies overall, 40 official trophies and 59 total trophies). No single player obviously has come close to having all of these attributes.
