    World Class:
    Kane, Van Nistelrooy, Crespo, Raul, Van Persie, Haaland
    Good:
    Son, Tevez, Anelka, Torres
    Of course they played across different era with different challenges. Stats don't come into it as much because records are being broken all over the place. Giroud is currently the highest ever goalscorer for France, but we don't believe he was better than Henry. Life isn't as simple as numbers and trophies.

      People’s opinion determines what they are. We all have biases but we sometimes try to be fair for our image. Mikel did nothing other than embarrassing himself. I love him so much but he goofed.

    Why is Mikel Obi trying so hard but failing to speak in a British accent, stop forcing it, it's really hard to watch, you're Nigerian just be proud of your heritage 🤦🏿‍♂️
