Not having George Weah on your list is actually criminal
Him winning the ballon’dor makes him undoubtedly the best
Depends in your age. He won ballon d’or in 1995 so realistically, most people born after 1990 won’t have seen him play
@@paulcasey4282 even so him winning the Ballon dor in an era of baggio, van basten etc warrants him being up there
@@johncoster99 Almost definitely and for those who have seen him play, I wouldn’t argue with them. But it gets to the point where you don’t know whether to put them first or sixth because you’ve never seen them so it just messes up your own list
I do not even need to watch the video now. Thanks. Weah left out, seriously.
Do your top 10 players ever. That would be such a sick video and such a heated and controversial debate
Shawn would have all players who played after 2005
@@johncoster99 Mentalll🤣
That would be a banga
@@johncoster99 nahhh 😂😂
Shawn wld have mahrez 6th
How can Shaun say he never watched George Weah play, when he played for Chelsea and started in the final in their 2000 FA Cup win??
Cus he don’t actually watch football
I think he was Born 98/99 he was a Baby then
He played 15 games for chelsea and scored 5 goals
@@HaraldDerMachtige he's 33
Senegal barely beat Zimbabwe. Algeria couldn't even beat Sierra Leone. Afcon is literally 1000 times harder than the world cup. World cup is D-league compared to Afcon. Which makes Aboutrika's record even way more impressive. So what if he never made world cup. African qualifier rules are rigged anyway for no one to make it consistently & let alone win it EVER
Shaun reminding everyone Salah doesn't have an AFCON but didn't want to say anything about Drogba losing two finals with an ivory Coast side 10x better than what Salah is playing along side for Egypt.
56:49 he legit says it here tho? I get what you mean with Salah tho
@@Polyhoshi It's just the fact that when they mentioned Mane and Salah on the list Shaun had to get it in that they've only won one prem and champs like that's nothing? He puts Drogba higher than Salah because he won more trophies but individual honours and stats Salah is blowing Drogba away in the Premier League and Champions league.
@@pi9589 salah is playing in an era where they're not that many good defenders and the attacker's aren't that good in my opinion......modern day players are better athletes but don't have as much talent
@@siphobanda1707 Salah has playing in the same era as Aguero did and everyone would say Aguero is one of if not the best premier league striker ever?
@@pi9589 not really prime aguero, salah has really made his name in the last 4 years (not saying he wasn't good at roma and fiorentina ) and aguero has played against tougher defenders to be fair
We want Rennedy on the podcast!
100% agree
Weah is easily top three. Anyone didn’t have him top three is doing a madness!
I wouldn’t count him as African because he chose his nationality as USA im pretty sure
@@hellohi1445 wrong, his son chose USA but not him.
@@ejleoz21 ohh okay
@@hellohi1445 what are you on about he’s literally president of liberia and had 75 caps for them lmao
@@hellohi1445 I think you’ve mixed up your flags there. Liberia’s flag is similar to USA

Nah, it was an illusion
Shawn the greatest African player of all time👏🏼
Said no one EVER
@@scottbarkley496 no shit
Weak
Shaun says “you need to come with stats”, then a few minutes later when discussing Mahrez he says “it’s not even about stats” 🤦🏽♂️
There are players for who the stat’s dont tell the whole story
@@sebastienespeca8292 then why say “you need to come with stats”
@@DJGLR i think he more meant that the stats don't even matter with what he's done with his clubs. He's a winner and is influential for his squads.
@@DJGLR he meant we don't need go there, his stats are already mental, they boost him
@@yangazilwa1183 mate I know what he meant, he just contradicts himself a lot and moves the goalposts to suit his argument
Shaun mention Egyptian goalkeeper Elhadary , he is the best African Goalkeeper, he played until the age of 47
He's a true legend, I've see him in every AFCON from from a child to recently.
Senegal barely beat Zimbabwe. Algeria couldn't even beat Sierra Leone. Afcon is literally 1000 times harder than the world cup. World cup is D-league compared to Afcon. Which makes Aboutrika's record even way more impressive. So what if he never made world cup. African qualifier rules are rigged anyway for no one to make it consistently & let alone win it EVER
Best African goalkeeper is Bruce Grobelaar from Zimbabwe who played for Liverpool
I’d love to see you guys do a top 10 premier league title winning sides.
Shaun's not putting in George Weah but having Aboutrika high is a massive howler. Especially if it's an all time list.
well he did say it’s because he didn’t see Weah play which is fair enough tbh, no point speaking about something you don’t know
@@Spliro if he does that there is no point it being all time
@@sadiqgwandu6303 well there is because people started watching players at different points lol
@@Spliro Its like I say my mum is better than Aboutrika because I havent seen Aboutrika playing. We dont need to watch actual games to know that Ballon Dor winner is better than Egyptian league star and Egyptian league star is better than my mum. Its pointless to say alltime if alltime = players that I have watch.
@@henrimarjoan7876 one of the dumbest comments i’ve ever read💀
To not have George Weah anything but top 2 is criminal. Its even more criminal of Shaun to not have him at all. The argument that he hasnt watched him isnt enough, shuuush maaan
To be fair Aboutrika won 5 CAF champions league titles with his club team El Ahly Cairo, and won the Africa Cup 2 times with Egypt. But he and his team were killing it between 2004-2013 pretty much bagging every trophy they could
He’s da 🐐
Speaking facts from an Egyptian that supports Al ahly from when I was a child the guy was a joke
yh looking at their List from 18 place to 10 i thought they wont put him they only look at the UCL stuff and shit no what they did to the country
🐐🐐🐐
I just commented that bro essam el hadry is the best African goalkepper
There is Also Ahmed Hassan who captained Egypt in the 3 consecutive african cups of Nations on the row. He was the best african midfielder by far. Great shooter, dribbler and passer. Played for Anderlacht and in Turkey too and was one of the most influential players for Egypts 10 years domination of african football.
Finally some knowledge! Kids need to be educated
So what would be your ranking of the 3 Egyptians - Aboutrika, Hassan, Salah?
Best african midfielder by far? Yaya toure, seydou keita, Michael essien, abedi pele and jay jay okocha want a word lmao.
He can’t be compared to the likes of yaya Mikel okacha and essien
@@itzsammy6320 Mikel???…
Honorable mentions to Finidi George, Rabah Madjer, Samuel Kuffour, Geremi and El Hadji Diouf, all legends in their own right. Kanu not in the top 10 is ridiculous, and Weah has to be top 3.
Badou Zaki, Timoumi
Senegal barely beat Zimbabwe. Algeria couldn't even beat Sierra Leone. Afcon is literally 1000 times harder than the world cup. World cup is D-league compared to Afcon. Which makes Aboutrika's record even way more impressive. So what if he never made world cup. African qualifier rules are rigged anyway for no one to make it consistently & let alone win it EVER
Kanu is easily top 5. Abedi Pele, Bruce Grobelaar. Hadji. Don't think these kids actually watched most of the players, they're more focused on Wikipedia stats😂
Dwight Yorke too
Salah literally qualified Egypt for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years!! Something Abo Treka never done
Shawn's arguments are mad cap I didn't watch George weah play back in the day but bro, he was a beast 💪💪
To be fair they should just do best players since 2000 since there is some merit to the argument that it's impossible to properly judge old players based on reels/ stats/ legends. It's very difficult to compare across generations.
@@affectiveteam6229 fax
You only know George Weah because he had a FIFA Legend card😂
@@TomMellorx happy to say I don't play fifa. 🙏
I’m just glad Etoo is first , easily the best African player
It's sad how the African players are mainly ranked on their European success...I understand why, but it's still high key sad😥. The likes of Okocha, Lucas Radebe, Abotretrika etc are icons in our continent but will always be underrated based on European success
Benni McCarthy
But that's also because Football in Europe is the highest level. It's like being a successful basketball player in Europe but not playing in the NBA. People are less likely to consider you one of the best of all time.
@@Slesaint17 I know, that's why in the comment I said "I understand why"...still sad tho

That's because football nowadays is all stats. Football in Africa is all about expression and no one did that better than Jay Jay Okocha.
For me Roger Milla in the 1990 world cup was something else
Love your podcasts Sharky🔥🔥🔥
Love the pod, big year coming up
Mohamed Aboutrika. The egyptian Zidane. In egypt and in the middle east, he is way bigger then Mo Salah. He won multiple Afcon, multiple african champions league. Aboutrika was a fantastic player.
I'm Egyptian, fantastic player yes, but not even close to salah and he's definitely not bigger than him
@@mazen3989 and he didn’t get you to world cup
what are you on about what bigger than mo salah lmao nowhere near
Word🤝💯
@@must3862 getting to the world cup was a curse for egypt, and that egyptian team going to the tournament was a fluke, they very close to bottle it, embaressed in th WC with 0 point, and i dont remember salah having even one afcon
Great podcast🔥🔥🔥
Very impressed with the Aboutrika knowledge 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Coming from an Egyptian, everything Sean said is correct.
بس يا اهبل
صلاح احسن لعيب فااعالم
are you being serious this guy said Aboutrika have qualified Egypt to the World up when Egypt didn't qualify to the World cup for 30 years until Salah and Mahmoud Trezeguet qualified Egypt to the world cup in 2018
Senegal barely beat Zimbabwe. Algeria couldn't even beat Sierra Leone. Afcon is literally 1000 times harder than the world cup. World cup is D-league compared to Afcon.

Rabah Madjer not getting a shout is a big Howler.
Just as good as Mahrez, won AFCON 1990 with Algeria and the Champions League with Porto (back heel goal in the Final against Bayern).
These man really put a tax on North Africans 😂
Nah bro they just don’t know who he is but he’s definitely top 10
no one on the table was watching the ucl in 87
hardly a tax

@@blockchainduke9640
The heat and state of pitches makes it an equal playing field.
When Egypt (a semi developed country) hosted it last time we saw the best four teams in the semi's.
Sean’s point about not placing players in an all time XI that he hasn’t watched defeats the purpose of the list.
He’s basically saying when you haven’t watched a player you are going off what other people have said about the player
Great podcast love it, would love to see studio environment upgrade, gotta make it more appealing
Keep up with the content loving this lads 💪🏾
I'm so excited for AFCON🔥🔥🔥
Algeria 34 games unbeaten fam don’t sleep. but we need an afcon predictions video from yall
Love the idea!!!
Just in time for me to eat dinner 😁 keep up the great work guys
I'm gonna be watching from the netherlands. I'm originally from Egypt. I hope Egypt, Senegal or Nigeria win it🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Eddeelo 🔥🇪🇬❤️
Those 3 and Algeria r the most likely to win
Get renedy on the next podcast, it will be funny seeing him explaining his picks
Shaun is just so cold🥶🔥
1. Eto
2. Weah
3. Salah
4. Drogba
5. Yaya
6. Pele
7. Roger
8. Mahrez
9. Essien
10. Aboutrika
Mane ?
Not easy making an all-time list, a lot of factors you would have to account for. However, Weah is too low, top 2 easily. Abedi Pele I would have higher as well, at least over Essien. Essien just had too many injuries and had a short peak.
I don't think these kids ever watched Abedi Pele play to be honest.
@@StringerBellz they didn’t, they said they didn’t, but he should still be on the list. Its like saying pele and maradona shouldn’t be on all time greatest players list. Just because you didn’t watch them, doesnt mean they shouldn’t be on the list

BEST PODCAST OUT THERE
1:00:10 Abutrika never put Egypt in the world cup. Mo Salah did in more than 30 years (the famous pen). Mo Salah was a runner-up AFCON in 2017. Mo Salah also won the Swiss league twice. He won European Super Cup and club world cup. Not to forget, Salah has a PL record for most goals scored in a single season in 2017/18. He is won the golden boot twice in England, and lost it to Kane last season with 1 goal difference. He is probable wining the golden boot this season.
44:53
“Ballon dior winner”😂😂😂 shocker from Liban
Do a video on 1 player every Premier League club needs to sell.
Best podcast💪
asamoah gyan needed a shout man always showed up during the world cup and is the top african scorer in the world cup.
As someone who has been fortunate enough to see Egypt's "golden generation" plays with the like of Abu treka. ahmed hassan, Mohamed barakat, zidane, amr zaki, el hadery (even gedou for that one AFCON) and having Egypt's greatest ever coach Hassan Shehata, I have to say, Salah's accomplishment of dragging this Egyptian team to the WC shows his true greatness. The difference in quality and cohesion between the team that won 3 AFCONs in a row and the one which qualified for the world cup is ridiculous. That golden generation was filled with talent that could have accomplished so much more in Europe if they had decided to play there, however, Egypt's socio-political climate at the time was far different before the first revolution and there was probably no need or desire to leave the country.
Shout out to anyone in the comments who said, Ahmed Hassan. You know Ball!
Hassan even underrated in Anderlecht, now the fans really understand what we was. A pity he didn't came earlier to Belgium so he could join a Top 5 league later. The Pharaoh , Anderlecht legend and my favorite player all time.
JJ Okocha not in the Top Ten that's criminal😂
Big fan of these bro
Both liban and Sean arguing, bruddas both of you had howlers 1 match ban, needed.
How did Asamoah Gyan not make the list💔😭
Bc he isn’t top 10
As an african who's watched afcon all my life, Abedi pele is definitely top 8 of all time. His name is still praised on the streets till this day. Also, MANE OF ALL TIME!? I know its your list but talking about african footballers, bring 100 people living in africa watching all these greats, Sadio mane will not be thought of. I used to support shaun on this pod then man put MAHREZ THIRD! He's bugging. Samuel eto'o, George weah, Didier drogba, El hadary, Roger milla, ABEDI PELE, Kanu Nwankwo, Aboutrika, Wael Gomma, Okocha, Rashidi Yekini and Hossam Hassan. Every name here deserves to be called more than some players mentioned. And what's thata bout not watching them. Did you watch Pele or Maradona or Cruyff? You watch highlights only. I compile Depay's best highlights and he can look like a god. Knowing thousands who watched them, Liban is right. dId everyone watch George Weah? Come on guys! Still love the pod!
What do you think of rabah madjer
Those guys have a bigger legacy in African football, but they aren’t better players than Mane or Mahrez.
Mane will definitely be thought of lol, he won liverpool their first champions league in 14 years and first league title in 31 years and hes got a premier league golden boot and african poty, he was liverpools best attacker in 16/17, 18/19 and 19/20, he may not have won what the other have won in Africa but he was at a point *the best* left winger in the world, you cant say the same for aboutrika or some of the other names on your list
@@Sahota2002 Different eras and about 20-25 years ago most big clubs started scouting academies in Africa much more actively or setting up their own. So players like Abedi Pele, Weah, Milla or even Kanu are arguably even more impressive to have broken through despite no established route to do so and been very impressive in European football. If they had the same training regimes and paths to Europe as today's youngsters they might be better than Mane/ Mahrez but honestly it's impossible to say.
@@affectiveteam6229 good points and I agree with you. But when comparing players across eras, I tend to give the edge to modern players.
you should make a list of the best player with each number, so best player to wear number 1, 2 3... and so forth till 10 or 15 or anything you choose. would be interesting to see.
Make your top 10 brazilians of all time too. I think that would be a sick video
Leeban said you need to watch a player longer then 3 years to put them in the top 10 but he put weah 2nd and only watched his highlights and researched him up and never watch pele play and also put him in top 10🥴
He is the most jarring guy on the podcast
I wait for this podcast every week! Nothing but love from 🇿🇦💚
Ps. Benny McCarthy should have gotten a mention 👀 but overall happy with the list!
Facts
lol
Best podcast in the uk🔥🔥🔥
Can’t lie to finish off my session at the gym when I run this goes straight on every time makes time pass so quick.
How tf does Shaun know more about Africa than the Africans?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
George Weah gave the USMNT Tim Weah so i love him lmao
possibly a top 10 greatest CONCACAF players of all time video?
Greetings from Los Angeles!
This was a great episode 😂😂😂😂
Salah plays in a shit Egypt team. How’s he meant to win AFCON? He also took them to the World Cup in 2018 for the first time since 1990.
Also 1 prem and 1 champions league is very impressive given you can barely name any players that still play and have won both for the same club and were main players
I mean didnt he lose to a really weak team at home in afcon? Team isn't even shit they got some other good players
@Hassy Kay I am not getting Egypt mixed up they have some other good players besides salah like their keeper, trezeguet and elneny
Robert Horry has "only" won 7x NBA Championships and wasn't the main man on any of the teams not even remotely close, massive par and I don't even rate him insanely high.
nobody rated him at all, he was just a role player. Played on very good teams, didn’t leave much impact on them at all though
@@Andy_Is_Hot yeah, he wasn't there by accident. He had ice in the veins and came on to hit important shots and he always delivered
The Robert horry point was one of the worst takes
Senegal barely beat Zimbabwe. Algeria couldn't even beat Sierra Leone. Afcon is literally 1000 times harder than the world cup. World cup is D-league compared to Afcon. Which makes Aboutrika's record even way more impressive. So what if he never made world cup. African qualifier rules are rigged anyway for no one to make it consistently & let alone win it EVER
I just love Shaun too much man 😂
Maybe do top 10 all time players, or top 10 and then a country like England or smth we love these top 10's
Personally I can’t believe that Okocha wasn’t in that top 10. Might be biased cause I’m Nigerian but I was genuinely shook
@@BreezeAgent I feel like trophies are too valued in the modern day but either way, it’s an African player list and he had two international trophies.
Completely agree with Shaun on this. I’m not going to argue people who say Pele/Maradona/Cruyff are the best ever but I just can’t justify saying that when I never saw them play. I think to give your own personal top 10 you have to of watched them play as there’s something about watching them for 90 minutes week in, week out that you can’t respect or understand about watching a highlight video, but you can’t disrespect anyone who puts other names up that you haven’t seen. Some of them not even knowing who some of the clubs they played for is dreadful tho 😂
You say that, but most players don't get watched for 90 minutes week in week out even now when we have so much more access to football. Most people see highlight reels of players and then read stats. Why you can't do that with someone from before you are born I can't understand.
@@garymaidman625 which is why i respect amenyah on total 90 podcast. He won’t even comment on players today if he doesn’t watch them fully like that. It’s okay to not have the greatest knowledge in the world of the sport, i’m certainly far from it. But it makes for a much better discussion and argument when you’ve watched them play fully like that. Lends to better creditability and for a more sensible debate.
@@josheiao7816 this is the greatest African players of all time though. Not the greatest African players in my lifetime. I have never seen a game from Gerd Muller, but I know he is one of the greatest strikers of all time.
Roger Milla played for a few clubs in France and won Coupe de France twice for different clubs.
Do an AFCON prediction pls that would be elite
I haven't even watched it yet but Tony Yeboah should be in the top 5 African ballers of all time 🇬🇭🇬🇭
Liban a waffler😂 love this podcast
They Shaun smiles at liban when he talks bout the older African players is hilarious 😂
I understand what Shaun is saying, I agree you should have a bit more of a personal love for the player if they’re in your top 5. However, Weah was too good to not have inside top 3
Mahrez over Mane is criminal to me. For some reason, mahrez has got SO MUCH clout on this podcast, I’ve always found it so confusing!
It’s really not that criminal. Mahrez won major titles everywhere he’s gone, including an African cup. Mane may be better right now but Mahrez has an underrated legacy, really top tier especially doing the impossible at Leicester. That’s the best league win EVER, not even close. Mane can be higher but don’t scoff at what Mahrez has done
@@Y_dz1 I hear you but where did I scuff at Mahrez ? I think the fact that he’s placed 2 positions over Mane is ridiculous. He’s done some great things but Mane has been better than him every season since 2016/17 (year after Leicester win). 2020/2021 is a bit arguable since they both weren’t so consistent. Mahrez only edged him out in terms of trophies won but Im more of an individual contribution type of guy.
@@chuka6625 yes he’s contributed but his lack of an African cup is a major red mark when discussing all time african ballers. Sorry, but this Senegal team is top 2 in africa, interchangeable with Algeria. Mahrez has captained his team to glory, with Sadio and the ballers Senegal have he must deliver. No excuses
@@Y_dz1 so where does he rank now ? 👀
@@chuka6625 ahead of Mahrez now 🤣🤣 I can’t stress how important this cup was to his legacy. Especially given the talent in that Senegal side; nice I was on your mind too bro, but I don’t swing that way 🤣👍🏼
Shawn saying Algeria doesn't have much Talent, fam Algeria is literally the most stacked team in AFCON.
Behind Senegal
@@senseiosss3586
Algeria beat Tunisia's first team in the Arab cup final without their European professionals, that's how deep this team is.
U know Tunisia who kicked Senegal's ass in 2019........
How Shaun the guy the only guy with brains about football. Wild podcast.
Definitely need to do a top 10 managers Ever in the prem and a goalkeepers one
No order: essay el hadary, riyad mahrez, jay jay okocha, mane, Essien, salah, kanu, yaya toure, abedi pele, didier drogba, eto, weah these are all the names of players that can be considered to be either top 10 or outskirts. Mane because of what him and salah have done at liverpool
Perfect
What about Mikel obi
If Mane is listed why isn't Auba hes been world class for about 10 years

Which makes Aboutrika's record even way more impressive. So what if he never made world cup. African qualifier rules are rigged anyway for no one to make it consistently & let alone win it EVER
I respect Shauns opinion on George Weah. In 20 years people will be putting Michael Owen in their top ten Premier League strikers simply cause he won a Ballon d'Or, PFA, League title and Pele clout without having watched him at all
Difference being michael owen didn’t deserve his balon d’or
Also owen won it only 6 years after weah
Owen is dog water
Shawn seriously knows his stuff. Fairs
Nah the way Shaun was pulling faces I had to reload it 😂😂😂😂😂
I fully thought AJ shabeel was gonna be on SDS after his story post kmt
Riyad Mahrez is top 5 easily, top 3 all time for me. Having him outside the top 5 is VILE behaviour!
Top 3 while having eto Salah and Drogba. Nah man 5th as weah could well be 2nd above Drogba and salah
Top 5 easily hahahaha behave yourself
Better than Weah, Drogba, Eto’o, Salah, Yaya Toure ? 😂😂😂😂😂 no chance
Mahrez ain’t beating
Drogba, Eto, Weah, Abedi, Yaya, Salah. So how is he easily top 5
Senegal barely beat Zimbabwe. Algeria couldn't even beat Sierra Leone. Afcon is literally 1000 times harder than the world cup. World cup is D-league compared to Afcon.

I'd love to see the full spreadsheet with the individual lists😂
Sharky needs an award for this channel
I'm sorry, but rating Drogba over Salah is criminal IMO. Salah is one of the EPL all time greats
And drogba isn’t an all time great?
So drogba isnt?? These kinds of Liverpool fans man, what a disgrace to the fanbase LOL
Salah has better seasons than drogba...far away
Salah has the premier league record for most goals in a 38 game season
Shaun is brain dead for putting Drogba above Salah. The Golden boots, PL and CL puts Salah on another level
Top 10 Africans not best Africans domestically drogba has done more for Africa then salah

Y’all gotta do top 10 greatest football players ever now after these Shaun takes 😂
Drogba, Eto, Yaya, Salah, Hassan , 1997 kid btw and Anderlecht Fan. A.Hassan is a legend. Ofcourse Essien played for Chelsea but I grow up with A.Hassan as Anderlecht Fan and saw him balling.I never saw games of Weah, Okocha, abedi Pele and Kanu (only Portsmouth) but sure they were amazing.
Honourable mentions:
Mohammed Zidane (Amazing player. Unbelievable performance that everyone has to watch against Brazil in confederation cup)
Rabah Madjer (a very influential champions leage winner, great player. Would of been on my top 10)
Mamado Diarra ( great CM for Real Madrid)
Wael Joma
( a very honourable honourable mention to Gedo 😅 what a talent he was for the last AFCONs egypt won)

You guys know your under 21 players, how about you do a tier list of Under 18 players in the world! Love the videos🙏🏾❤️
"It makes the list piss-poor now, cause George Weah should have been higher." - Shaun, the only person to leave George Weah completely out...
Yeah he’s saying he hasn’t watched him play so why would he put him in 5th or 6th when people are saying he’s top 3, it wouldn’t make shauns list credible
Abouterika was better than anyone of those players you got up there. The man was that talented that he refused to play overseas because Al Ahly matched any offers from overseas
Hahahaha
I wouldn’t even place on him 18th he’s known in Africa yes but outside of it he’s unknown
The topic is “top 10 African footballers”not popular African footballers lol
Senegal barely beat Zimbabwe. Algeria couldn't even beat Sierra Leone. Afcon is literally 1000 times harder than the world cup. World cup is D-league compared to Afcon. Which makes Aboutrika's record even way more impressive. So what if he never made world cup. African qualifier rules are rigged anyway for no one to make it consistently & let alone win it EVER
@@blockchainduke9640 Jesus Christ go to bed please
Would love to see your guys team of the year for a world XI
Abou treika, what a shout🤩 definitely should be a little higher. Mans was mad and dominated Africa with Egypt by winning back to back to back afcons wow.
I respect shaun’s point of not picking players you haven’t seen play. How can you talk about a player on a podcast when you haven’t watched him in a game. And why would someone want to listen to people talk about a player when they haven’t seen him play. I think players like Abedi Pele, Weah, Milla should have gotten an honourable mention along the lines of they probably would have been in the top 10 had we seen them play, but you’re waffling if you try and say how good a player was if you haven’t seen games where they plaued
I mean he was bsing he said he didn’t watch weah play yet , there’s no way he didn’t watch weah play at Ac Milian and the fact that he was a Chelsea player for half of 2000 season . Man says he watches ball and is a Chelsea fan , he had a mare he just didn’t wana admit it
@@ElPhenomenon I don’t think Weah was close to peak when he was at Chelsea though as he only played a handful of times and was 34. His ballon d’or winning season was 95. It’s like someone saying they know how good Kaka was because they saw him play for Orlando Pirates.
I think you can include players before your time but you should have watched full matches of them and documentaries. CZcams compilations don’t cut it as that would mean Giroud is top 10 players of all time.
