That top left corner with Argentina is GOATED. From U-20 WC to the actual men's WC. If not for Higuain then Messi prob has a 2nd WC and two more Copa Americas.
Only trophy missing is the French cup but I'm sure he picks that up this year.
And Argentina beat Nigeria twice for the U-20 WC and the Gold Medal in the Olympics

Argentina went from Higuain to Alvarez. Insane come up.
When you say it like that, yes, but remember when Higuain was practically unstoppable?
comes at you fast
The international calendar is dry for this upcoming year outside EURO and AFCON qualifiers. The Confederations should also be announcing the 2026 WCQ format so there's that
Just to add, if you look at the history of international competitions, you'll see Africa is really lagging behind. Copa America was hosted annually from the mid 1910s till about the 1930s. Then you have the Olympic tournaments, which prior to the WC, acted as the decider of the World champions hence why Uruguay is 4x World Champs, 2x WC winners, the 1924 and 1928 Olympics were managed by FIFA.
The Gold Cup is every two years but because its in the summer and hosting is not an issue (US, Mexico and Canada have the stadiums) there isn't too much of an issue with it.
Penarol hasn't made splash in Copa Libertadores in a while man. It's a shame because Uruguayan football been struggling for a minute.

Aouar and Caqueret seem to have fallen down the pecking order in Lyon tbh, especially Aouar. I would have liked DD to integrate more "fringe" players during their Nations league campaign. That was the time to try out new blood. I'm also surprised Fekir didn't get any looks this time around especially with the season he's having with
