welcome back it is mailbag Tuesday and uh we asked for any questions regarding the world of football any question at all kept it real generic for everybody this week and and we had to delete some of the bad ones I don't doubt it I'm sure there were some doozies uh but we have our lovely mailbox here and I'm just going to open this up plags up we've got we did this right Thank you thank you Bob um so we're going to get to our first question shall we okay this is this is great this is like a good
ice breaker I feel like and I and I feel like I I have not asked this question to to the group so this is going to be good who is your favorite player Alexis is current player I'm going C current go current let's let's say let's say current all right uh bukai Saka okay yeah great answer right I get it and he's got a hot sauce come on it's perfect sense killing NBA interesting tasty not where I thought you were going to go my favorite he he's a third string Striker at boka Junior he's 12 years ol
d like my favorite player right now right now am I am I going to choose a BGA player just favorite I'm I who do you love watching I love this season I've Loved Jude Bellingham yeah but I that's a great answer but I want to I want to say something something that I really like like that that my favorite I feel like it's Kevin senon um oh yes for Bo um we all have him in football management we know Baro that is now at Brighton that was at boa boa couldn't have found a more like for likee replacemen
t in the Argentine League than Kevin sinon who was at un I I didn't know of him really until he signed for w and he's been phenomenal and it's been kind of like a wow Bodo reincarnated in another dude and Jesus it was like yeah he's been great for VAs so he's so far he's my favorite player today yeah that's good guess who M keep an eye out for Olympics by the way I'm going to go with Virgil Van djk Virgil Van djk Virgil Van djk ever he's your favorite player ever ever CVG yeah uh but ver I think
having getting to see him play in person at the carabal Cup Final and just his sheer command that he has on the pitch and he makes everything look so easy I was just like this man is special he is special it's just like what I when I watch mbappe he's just special he has something different he can he's you want to watch tune in to watch him play cuz he's so yes he's got the pace and the power but I think his skill is so underrated yeah 100% great question that was fun I like that all right let'
s get to our next one uh 2026 USA World Cup predictions I'm assuming this means how we think they will Faire in the 2026 World Cup this is a great question from s Riley uh but I would say we really can't answer that question till Copa America I want to see don't want to see the it's not it's not a c alert you got to say something I got to see I got to see what it looks like in no stop what do you think as of right now if there was no Copa the World Cup is coming up in in a year and a half what a
re you thinking I think they have a chance to make a good run Deep Run where a deep wa like Define Deep Run um to get to a quarterfinal that's not deep AG the US were we did that already the 20126 World Cup is the standard and and the expectation we've been waiting for the us to do something that they never done before this is 48 teams so it's it it's an extra game but it's weaker opposition you fill it with the US is not like the US is in in deep in that 48 team pool there in the same standing
that they've always been you're not adding anybody better that has never been to World Cup before the US shouldn't be losing to the worst teams that are added at a World Cup I don't care that it's 48 teams that's BS that's a that's a that's a BS excuse be Angola you should beat fin final right now you wouldn't take it final 8 to a quarterfinal that the US has been before this team has a potential to do more I agree with Nico and that's that's that's so my prediction this has a potential but from
what I've seen so far they're not fulfilling that so my early prediction before c America is that they they will underperform quarterfinal is not deep sure quarterfinal great that's World Cup on your soil why I said performance in Copa America what does that do what does that do for your prediction let's say they don't perform well in C they not get into the quarterfinal are they getting out of group are they getting to they should get out of the group okay yes it's on it's on home soil that th
at's that's that's catastrophic yeah it's not even a question it would be catastrophic they South Korea on their own soil made a semi-final of a World Cup yeah I think we're going to make a semi-final I'll say it Charlie's nervous I like I I do like the summer the optimism okay moving along next question um are lamin yamal and endri the next Messi and Ronaldo I'll go first yeah no why not um well when I when I look at those two players I mean Lin Mal is is gifted uh 16 years old and and doing so
me of the things that I we might have to add a little context to this question I'm I'm going to I'm going to take the step and say that they mean in La Liga the two battling each other out Real Madrid versus Barcelona so you you you didn't take it as both Ball winners we're talking goats I think like let's let's take it for what it isus I have my I have my two next talking about these two and and the earlier like the be I I guess before that generation so if you're talking about endri who plays
more like a ramario not so much like a Ronaldinho or phenomeno I just don't see them at this point that skill set being a a Messi Ronaldo it's just like you like you said mbappe venicius Jr Jude Bellingham Phil fod and Baka th those those are the next guys to be battling for best players world how do you feel about that those overall comparisons though like the next this do you think it's fair yeah we were so gifted that not only did we get in the same era two of the best players of all time lik
e arguably top three easy maybe the best one and two best players in football history they lived in the same era they competed against each other in the most important matchup in World football year after after year after year after year which probably made each other better because of how good they were I don't think we're going to see that again for decades to come what we're going to get the two best players of all time competing against each other I actually think that's what this question w
as referencing at least that's the way I took it when I first read it do you think he's the next Messi L I don't I'm not going to here I don't think he's the next Messi and I don't think endrick is the next uh crisano Ronaldo but I will say Cristiano Ronaldo early on wasn't the goal score that we saw him develop into so that took time and you know both of these players are very very young and I think endri can maybe potentially decide he wants to do something a little different on the pitch mayb
e go a little bit forward a little bit more forward be a little bit more essential in front of goal so that's a possibility I don't know that I see that out of uh out of linal but I will say I do think there is a case to be made that these are two Titans as the games go on if they stay at their clubs that maybe we will be tuning into a GL are they exactly are they B winners they have they have all the potential to be future bondor winners but are they the next Messi nobody can I adjust my answer
let me adjust my answer I want to wait until after Copa you should that'll tell you a lot a lot of the European players do really well in but like look at Flor and verts right musala verts Gabby shabi Simons uh you know garnacho Savio these are the young players who are playing who are under 20 20 and under so I mean are they is laminal that much better or endri that much better than those guys I think if we're looking at it from the window of La Lia and are we tuning in to see at glassico beca
use of these two players I'll give credit to the person who asked I don't know his name but or their name but I think yeah there's a chance that these could be two Titans that we'll be looking at but goat level that's that's a lot to ask m
