Copa América 2024

[Horatio]

Cdm never winning it

 

[Birdy]

I don't know about the new criteria. CR7 won in 2013, but the race was undecided until November. Late in the year Sepp Blatter remarked about him being the "general", which prompted journalists to think Blatter favored Messi and then the hattricks vs. Sweden in playoffs made him the winner. Cristiano didn't win any major silverware in season 2012-13.

OLD NEWS
That changed since 2022.

"Changes to the format of the awards, which are organised by France Football magazine, meant that for the first time, performances were judged across the 2021-22 season rather than the calendar year"

My combined Spain Argentina XI, just because

Martinez

Carvajal
Romero
Laporte
Marc

Ruiz
Rodri

Yamal
Messi
Di Maria

Martinez.

That Ruiz spot could easily go to any of the Argentine Midfielders TBH.

 

[Djoker]

^Good 11 although I'd go front 3 with Yamal/Messi/Martinez and add Olmo behind them.

 

[soul24rage]

Di Maria-----Alvarez------Yamal
-----------------Messi
--------MacA-------Rodri
Tagliafico-Lisandro---Romero---Caravajal
---------------Dibu

Chosen Tagliafico ahead of Cucu as he's better as defending and we have a lot of attacking players

 

[Givenchy]

Williams-Martinez-Yamal
-----------Olmo
----McAllister-Rodri
Cucu-Martinez-Romero-Carva
-----------Martinez

controversial as I didn't pick Messi but not watching him this tournament, not sure how he gets in a CURRENT best 11.

Surprised to see Chile at CONMEBOL bottom with 4 straight losses. Usually that spot belongs to Bolivia or Venezuela,

Venezuela have been massively improving in recent years. They are no longer whipping boys - let's hope they can keep it going. They and Bolivia are further down the table but they're not that far off the higher spots. Bolivia of course benefit from playing at altitude at home.

They seemed to have a good generation around the same time as the Belgian golden generation came along. These two countries players' were technically in their peaks from about 2014-2019 or so.
