For me it's Miguel André Silva

The international break is the price you pay for being from an irrelevant country and arbitrarily supporting a European team

They should use the Nations League to decide qualifications for the Euro.

The qualifiers for the Euros used to be good, the problem is that nowadays you have to be a complete idiot to not qualify.

It's also hilarious to see Ronaldo score 4 against Andorra or, even better, see André Silva net a hat-trick against Faroe Islands.

These were scored in a """""competitive""""" match and in 10 years people will only look at goals, not remember it was Andorra

The USA plays """""competitive""""" games against tiny part-time countries too. The difference is, Portugal win theirs.

This. Andorra would unironically be top 3 in North America

>ranked 21st in the world at the time
>squad of players playing at top European clubs
>beat Netherlands twice
>"part-time"

Back in your cave, jock

>The UK
ah yes, the famous UK national football team

>The UK plays """""competitive""""" games
No it doesn't

>uk
>england

What's the difference?

>jock

He's obviously a pole or a paki on lunch break from his factory job. No one from the UK would say UK national team

One's the UK, the other's England. Any more retarded questions?

They are different names of the same thing no?

How? Everyone from League A and B qualifies automatically?
So what happens to the international breaks in the calendar, do they disappear?

>b-but muh 80 goals and surpassing pele!
i dont want to hear about international goals ever again

>They are different names of the same thing no?
All that cheap lager drunk outside a run down garages has rotted your brain Pawel

>surpassing pele
A vast majority of Pele's goals were scored against farmer-tier players. Most international squads weren't professional, and only a handful of Brazilian teams were too.

I bet you speak this from experience and deep research and not just a guess based on your beliefs.

>someone criticises pele
>insecure brazilian appears
every fucking thread

Considering clubs like Flamengo, Fluminese and Santos weren't fully professional until the 50's (and that's using fully in a loose sense), yes, a lot of the lower Brazilian teams had amateurs playing (and multitudes of players who had second jobs).

International football, a lot of the countries Pele scored against didn't have professional football leagues and therefore you surely cannot class the international teams as being professional.

Why these people pretend they are experts?

It's not really about Pele, but Its cringe to see things like "brazilians teams were amateur" or "there wasn't offside in Pelé era"
It's people pretending they are experts in old football but they aren't

No, but I'm looking forward to San Marino's game on Sunday

Maybe replace EC and WC qualifiers with Nations League.

Back to work Patel, I hope Mummy May doesn't deport you.

Hmmm
there are 18 NT matches between the last world cup and the next euro
12 teams per division -> each team needs to play 22 matches
unless you have groups

n-no.

wow its almost like people do the same with pelé

Top 32 nations: 8 groups of 4
Bottom 23 nations: 3 groups of 5 and 2 groups of 4

The 8 winners of the elite groups qualify automatically, along with the 4 best runner-ups.

The 4th and 5th best winners of the lesser groups play each other. The winner of this match, along with the other winners of the lesser groups go into a play-off against the 4 worst runner-ups of the elite groups. The winners of these play-off games qualify.

I'm sure it could be organised better than this but it's a start on the problem of keeping the good teams and bad teams separated.

Yeah try actually looking at Pele's international goals. Very few shitters in there.

shit idea
why would you want qualification for teams ranked below 33 but not for teams ranked 13-32

Bro, I'm a yank and even I know the difference.

5 divisions with 10 teams each and a sixth division for the various microstates Andorra, Gibraltar, Faraoe Islands and so on.

How do you separate the two tiers without having them play-off against each other?

1-12 automatically qualify. The lesser teams only get through if they beat 13-16. This is better than how the Nations League does, where the lesser teams get through only by beating lesser teams.

Ok so you're saying that under your proposed system it'd be possible for all Elite League teams to qualify and no other teams?

What the fuck is this nonsense

>the ass-raper of 9 man Andorra

the annihilator of andorra (9-man)

Yes, because the lesser teams would have to play elite teams to get through.

Tbh conceding 6 goals isn't bad for part timers like Andorra. That's only one every 15 minutes

Unlike lazy Scotchmen like Robertson, Tsu takes advantage of games against shit opposition to enhance his legend with even more competitive international goals.
Truly /strongmind/

why does his face look so fake

You can see how strongminded he is by the way he treats every opponent same. He plays with same flame against Andorra and France as well. I am proud to live in his era, and I am even more proud that I'm gonna talk about him to my son and let him be his role model.

sounds good but lets say that a division vi team has a golden generation of players that are division i-tier, it would take 10 years for them to rise up to the very top

>Only winning 6-0 against 9-man Andorra

Pretty pathetic desu, should have been 10-0 at the minimum
