7 Footballers Who Play BETTER For Their Countries Than Their Clubs 

I think the biggest example is Ochoa man turns into spiderman in goal for Mexico

Eduardo Vargas. Dude could barely get a game from QPR but then eliminated Spain from the 2014 World Cup, was top scorer of both the 2015 and 2016 Copa América, which he won with Chile all while totaling 14 Copa América goals overall, which is even more than guys like Messi, Neymar, Suárez, Agüero, Higuaín, Falcao, Cavani etc.

Xhaka will do bits in a slower pace league. He's never had enough time on the ball in the Prem and that's why he's so inconsistent if he moved to Serie A he'd be much better

Day 2: Best possible XI only with players playing in the Olympic.

As a brazilian I feel like it I gotta say: what an amazing job you’ve done there. The first 3 names that came to my mind when I saw the title of the video were Marcelo Moreno, Eduardo Vargas and Shaquiri. But I never thought that you guys as brits would know about the Moreno and Vargas situation. Awesome work, guys!!

He's retired now, so he can't feature, but had this video been made a few years ago, Nicklas Bendtner would've been a perfect inclusion. He rarely impressed at club level, but when he played for the Danish national team, he'd almost always do well.

Just realised I've been watching hitc for 4 years lets go!

Good choice of Pickford for the thumbnail. He is literally the poster boy for this.

Watching Ochoa at the world cup was just insane

Honourable mention to Kyle Lafferty anyone? Probably more valid few years ago but whilst he can't stay at a club for a long period, with Northern Ireland he was a beast. 🔥

Those I can think of: Bale, Bonucci, Ramsey, Xhaka, Pogba, de Sciglio, Umtiti, Bernardeschi, Lovren, Schick, England & Netherlands on the other hand typically have lots of good club players who are awful for country. Same in recent years of Portugal, Brazil and Argentina.

Pickford has had an up & down time at Everton but since February he’s been brilliant and that form carried on into the Euros.

Miroslave Klose is a good example of that

As an American, I must admit Memo Ochoa is insane with El Tri. Always wondered how he never stuck in a Top 5 League.

Hello Alfie, I watch this while eating dinner

Back in the Day I would have put David Healy on this list... When he was at Sunderland, my dad always Joked that he should wear a green N.Ireland shirt under his Sunderland shirt as he could do it on the International Stage but never when he played for Sunderland

Milan Baros would have been good for a list like this. Couldn't buy a goal for Liverpool but for Czech Rep. he was a maniac.

Day 199:Czechslovakia XI Re-Union national team. What could have been

I have been watching your videos for years and today it finally paid off. You had a 🇧🇴 player in one of your videos, the wait was worth it.

Pickford has been insane for Everton too

Always a fascinating watch. I really appreciate this channel, keep it up Alfie! 😄🍻

Well done on your growth as a channel. I have never really even been into football, but your channel has got me interested. I' like the format, as I've got a thirst for trivia. 😎

Pickford turns into prime moments yashin

Edu vargas is a phenomenon for chile but bang average at club level. Makes no sense

I really clicked to hear what you had to say about Ochoa. Even if it was just a mention, thank you Alfie🤝

Not having it that Beckham couldn't replicate his club form for England.

Egidio arevalo rios from uruguay should be on this list as well he was never great in his clubs but when he played for uruguay he was always worldclass!

As a Swissman, I don't know what to think about probably our two most well known players being in this list

Alternative title: Players that played well on euro 2021, copa america 2021

Jordan pickford has been absolutely fantastic for Everton

Marcelo Moreno is a name i haven't heard for awhile now. In 2009, Werder Bremen loaned him out from Shaktar Donetzk and i can only remember him playing like 3 or 4 Bundesliga Games, before he was gone again after just half a year. Never really got that loan, since we already had a good chunk of forwards like Pizzaro, Hugo Almeida and Markus Rosenberg.

Four years already, gone quick, keep up the good work

Ochoa had very good numbers in his first stint at Club América and he was good in Ajaccio, he had that nasty business with Clembuterol and then Kameni had great performances in key matches which prevented him from getting the starting role. It is true tho, his level right now at America is okay but he is still a beast at El Tri.

7 facts about ibrahim sangare, tifo ambassador

Ward is going to be 2nd option if he joins Wolves because they also signed Jose Sá from Olympiacos

Day 5 of asking: Ranking every centre-back pairing in the premier league right now.

Maybe Miroslav Klose should also be included. He is not very well-known playing for big club but very prolific for the German national team! He is not only Germany all time top scorers but also the top scorers of all time in the world cup! He truly deserved it!

Alexis Vega and Uriel Antuna are ridiculous with Mexico’s U-23, but struggle with Chivas

A video idea as you could look at the last seven nonleague players Who won player of the year

Can I just say this season Pickford has not been error prone for everton he has been sublime since after the Van Dijk situation

There are definitely multiple factors at play and contribute to the change in form.

Pretty sure after what he did with Van Dijk, no one dares to go near Pickford's area lol

How about: 7 legends who would play a different position today? Or some kind of variation on this. I got thinking about where Beckham would play today because most teams don’t really carry the position he played. I mean not really. Would he just play on the wing today?

All the original european cup teams or champions league teams, where are they now?

Pickford is actually really good for Everton coming from a Liverpool fan

That thumbnail😂 World Class? You’re. Crazy

It's the motivation to do well at big international competition that make them play better. After that, some cannot keep their motivation

This whole video is there to slot in Jordan (fair enough) ,an urge this man couldn't resist,he might as well write a few love letters to England players till the world cup😁

Paul Pogba, Paul Pogba, Paul Pogba, Paul Pogba, Paul Pogba, Paul Pogba and Paul Pogba

Crouch was great in an England shirt.

Another name for honorable mention: Claudio Bravo

Day 201:Vietnam XI if all overseas players had declared for them:Filip Nguyen,Daniel Prochazka,Jason Pendant,Lee Nguyen,Yohan Cabaye,Florentin Pham

I was here for the original video and still here

the fact ochoa isn’t on here is mind blowing

Pickford being challenged by Olsen has helped him no ends imo

Can you do more national league videos please

Please make Video on the most convenient patches of form.

7 Best Players at Euro 2020 please!

Would be interested in watching a video of top 7 of the opposite of this list

Thomas Meunier for Borussia Dortmund: - silly mistakes that lead to conceded goals (probably the most in the whole Bundesliga) - is dribbled by any winger in the league - crosses that look like they are aimed at birds, not teammates - maybe performs one successful dribble every 10 matches - shots that would bring a lot of points...in rugby Thomas Meunier for Belgium: - is reliable in defense and brings a lot of safety - solid and clean tackles - pinpoint crosses, registers quite a handful of assists - takes on defenders with pace and creates many chances - dangerous shots that put keepers to the test, even scores here and there How is he not on this list? We could have finished some 15 points higher in the league had he played for us like he did at the Euros.

Video starts at 2:15

Eduardo Vargas has to be 1st to me. On club level he has a 0.36 G+A ratio and that being in quite some low leagued recently, whereas for Chile he has a 0.5 G+A ratio and the 2nd most goals of anyone for them, only 6 less than Alexis Sanchez

Video suggestion: 7 football teams that became a victim of their own success (e.g. Leicester City during the 16/17 season with Ranieri unfairly sacked).

Pickford was a beast in Euro 2020, even though Donnarumma was slightly better, Pickford made some insane saves including a huge one against Jorginho, a penalty taker known for always fooling the keeper.

Can you do the story of Billericay fc please

Why is this only coming up 3 days later

Tbh I expected to find Xhaka and Pogba here!

Pickford was the most dangerous player vs Italy. I think he his the best keeper England had in these last 50 years.

Would you do a combined UK team including R.o.I

Swedens goalkeeper Olsen is also a good option to this list

EURO 2020 champions Italy starting XI that beat England at Wembley where were they 7 years ago ?

God I love Pickford. The emotional thing is probably fair, hopefully he's working with a sports psychiatrist. The match against Newcastle where he was obviously far too engaged with the crowd was a big red flag. But he's such a good shot stopper and I was so happy for him playing so well at the Euros

1:50 I was, I think

What happened to Panathinaikos?

Miroslav Klose was the prime example

I love Pickford so much for England team 😍💖

I do not like Phil Fodens hair.

I saw the thumbnail and I thought pogba

Where's Olsen? He's also doing great fir, Sweden while being avrage for club level

David Healy for Northern Ireland better be here

Didn't watch the vid yet but I think Thomas Meunier is here

only achievement for Shaqiri in Liverpool is making Jose Mourinho sack.

One for the other way round eg andy robertson

David Healy northern Ireland record speaks for its self

Day 1: where would a team of Alfie potts Harmer lookalikes finish in the premier league

Shaqiri deserves more game time

Pickford has been good for Everton since Christmas

How about, best players that cost 1mil or lower?

Guillermo OCHOA from MX

I think William carvalho would be a good shout for this list

You made this for picford

1:53 Football hipster: oh urs I remember watching that onnmy Blackberry while eating vegan meat

I think Dani Ceballos is a shout

Any player in the South American leagues

I was here in 2017

Best XI of Players Who Played the Least Minutes this past season

Miroslav Klose and Ronaldo Nazario comes to mind..

Pickford looked like oliver khan in the final😂😂

Day 5 of asking for the Galaxy 11 (From Striker Soccer G11): Where Are They Now?

We’re gonna see Diego Lainez in these lists 10 years from now
