So if you haven’t won an international tournament, no matter how good you are, you cannot be considered world class. You can tell Gareth bale, etc.
Ballon D'Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballon_d'Or The Ballon d'Or (French pronunciation: [balɔ̃ dɔʁ]; "Golden Ball") is an annual football award presented by France Football. It has been awarded since 1956, although between 2010 and 2015, an agreement was made with FIFA and the award was temporarily merged with the FIFA World Player of the Year, and known as the FIFA Ballon d'Or. However, the partnership ended in 2016 and the award was reversed back to Ballon d'Or, while FIFA also reverted back to its own separate annual award (now named The Best FIFA Football Awards). Conceived by sports writer Gabriel Hanot, the Ballon d'Or award honours the male player deemed to have performed the best over the previous year, based on voting by football journalists. Originally it was an award for players from Europe. In 1995 the Ballon d'Or was expanded to include all players from any origin that have been active at European clubs.[1][2] Finally in 2007 it became a global prize with all professional footballers from around the world being eligible.[3] Fifa Team of the Tournament https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_awards#All-Star_Team Check 2002 AND 2006 Your random time allocation to this status is exactly why it's a meaningless concept. You base it on personal opinion over a randomly allocated amount of time.
Nothing like a bit of FACT The players I listed are all mentioned apart from David Beckham yet I got a from Stella.
There's quite a lot of bitterness on this thread. The OP was obviously beeling at the time of posting it. I expect a The Shrimp meltdown on here very soon. VERY soon even. PS: The Jocks are ****ing pish at footy =
Oh please! The only British player to have multiple UEFA golden shoes is Ally McCoist and he wouldn't make it into the best Scottish 11 ever. Come back when you pass puberty ya fùcking numpty.
Yeah, Alan Shearer World Class eh? 559 top flight goals, most of those with Southampton and Newcastle. 30 International goals. What an uninspiring record, there must be dozens of strikers who can match that...
Shearer Was an amazing striker but was miles away from world class ... Especially when you consider Ronaldo [fatman]
