Never forget how fucking good Shearer was

Never forget how fucking good Shearer was

>never played in a top league
>just played for irrelevant teams
Yeah, nah

This isn't the Pele thread Joao

Aguero really is underrated.

Just makes it even more impressive playing for Blackburn and Newcastle in the toughest league with real defenders. And he had two serious injuries. Shearer was better than Pele

BTFO

except the best teams in the world played in brazil and SA at that time, all before globalization

by fucking who

he's a club babby

Euro leagues were well established and easily the top leagues at the time. Pele was too afraid to come over so he stayed beating up on amateurs

Back then the league was full of British farmers, whereas nowadays it is full of international top players. It’s not even comparable

Just count the Intercontinental cup winners from 1960 to 1990 and you will realize that european football only took the lead with money and globalization.

so good that no one outside england knew him

>golden boot at euro 96
>96 ballon d'or third place
>FIFA 100

Ignorance does not mean Shearer wasn't a beast. Anyway he certainly was well known

Lmao monekys gtfo

I thought Serie A was the best league in the 90s

>best
>toughest
Two different words with two different meanings

Still trashed Europeans on a club and national level

>club babby
>has played in Argentina & Spain

Never forget how Shearer played in an irrelevant team in an irrelevant era for football

I meant domestic football, user.

He is shit playing for the NT.

Fair enough. I would still agree that he's underrated keeping in mind the amount of goals he has scored while being injury prone. If he less hampered by injuries, he would have scored more.

But yes, he's worst in the NT. Good thing for Argentina that there's better alternatives for the ST position like Higuaín, Dybala, Icardi and Messi (if they want to have him in the middle)

>played in an irrelevant team
Makes his acheivements even better.

The one thing about Shearer though is that he was playing before the prem started so already had time to hit his form

He was an absolute beast for atletico as well

>British farmers
>in 1992
No they were actually trained athletes who were also allowed to snap your leg in half with a tackle to the knee without any repercussions

that "achievement" has nothing to do with Shearer's superior skills, he only holds that record because the EPL happened to form just as he was hitting his prime years. He would be nowhere near that list if the EPL already existed when he started his career, because he scored like 20 goals in his actual first 140 games in the english first division.
But hey, you scored a lot of goals with him in Fifa 98 so he must be GOAT, right?

>the EPL
He never played in an EPL league so that's completely irrelevant

ireland BTFO

>Dybala, Messi
>strikers

>96 (dead) ballon d'or third place
kek this is sad af

>1 (one) point

This. Ronaldo has a better goals/game ratio than Messi in La Liga because he went there in the prime of his career. Shearer is a fucking punk.
