Same with Grealish. You're getting world class players who are homegrown - there aren't many of them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Two more goals for Norway today, and it’s only half time, putting him at 10 goals in 15 games. The all time record for Norway is 33 goals. Assuming he plays until age 35, he has 14 more years to get the 24 goals he needs to take the record. He’ll probably have the record by age 25.

So you also don't count Ronaldos goals vs Luxembourg, North Korea, Faroe Islands etc? Because he's in double figures vs countries >100th ranked by fifa Its part of what international football is When Harry Kane overtakes Rooney someone will straight away mention how many penalties he's scored, again part of what football is 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
