3 - Martin Ødegaard is only the third player on record (from 1966) to assist a goal in each of his first three FIFA World Cup appearances, after Igor Belanov for USSR in 1986 and Michael Ballack for Germany in 2002.

It’s unfortunate what buzz analysis does to people because to everyone involved and that’s watched their whole career, they have been in the same conversation. Even they have acknowledged it. And maybe in recent years Messi has pulled away(with more Balon Dor’s) but let’s not act like Ronaldo is all of a sudden a tier below. What are we even talking about🤦🏾♂️
Really good analysis from Henry. This is the Ronaldo issue right now.
He's playing as a 9, but he's never been a 9 and he's not acting as a 9. Not giving Portugal those traits and it hurt them today.
