I can't compete with Messi
0:01
My midfield got more ballon doors than your entire squad. You had a good childhood
0:06
I don't want you on my team. No, don't get up out of here. Bring me your trauma
0:13
Brazil versus Argentina, 21st century combined 11. We got four categories, goalkeeper, backline, midfield, and attacking front three
0:21
I'll start this off. I'm going to go Allison for Brazil. I know he doesn't have a World Cup
0:26
I know maybe Dita did and you know he, some people may say him, But for me, Alisson, it was a prominent, prominent piece for Liverpool to win not only a Premier League, but also a Champions League
0:35
And I don't think there's any Argentinian goalkeeper who can compete with them. I'll give you one
0:39
Someone who's won Copa America and someone who's won the World Cup and quite possibly has one of the most iconic saves in said World Cup
0:45
I'm going to go with Ibo Martinez. He deserves to be the goalkeeper. What did he accomplish in the club level
0:50
He's doing pretty good. I believe he won the Queensland Cup with Heston Villa
0:55
He won an epic cup. He won an epic cup as well. With Arsenal
0:58
Also, he was top of the new format. They were top of the league in the league phase
1:03
in the new format in Champions League. So, while, yes, there's more work to do in his club form
1:08
as far as national team form, we are doing two different nations. I think winning the World Cup and winning
1:13
being the most essential player in those penalties in the Copa America
1:19
I think that gets a good point. It's a really difficult decision to make
1:23
I hate that this is the job that I have. Don't look at me when you say that
1:27
Who is the better goalkeeper on a technical level? Alisson, without a doubt
1:32
The frame, the types of saves that he makes, the type of player he is
1:36
He scored a goal for Liverpool. An important one. A very important one
1:41
So he has done a lot, especially at the club level. What's he won with Brazil
1:45
So that's the thing. Dignity. I'm trying to think. He didn't even win the Queensland Cup, dog
1:51
The last 20 years for Brazil have been, you know, not that
1:55
Can't put it on him. Yeah, exactly. You can't really put it on him. So, now, Debo Martinez, as far as the plotted
2:01
just all the trophies. Rules were changed because of him. Yes, because he was too annoying
2:07
No, hey, hey, hey. He was thinking outside the box. So, this is really tough because I do think
2:13
Alisson's the better goalkeeper, but Debo Martinez has won so many, obviously
2:19
important trophies and just shown up in just huge, huge moments at the national team level
2:26
It's difficult to get the words out. Say it. Because of how historic the victories have been for Diva Martinez
2:35
Diva Martinez is going to get there. Yes! And it's so close
2:39
He just showed up in such big games that it'd be difficult to not keep him in that 11
2:45
Let's go. It's very close. First point on the board, baby! Let's see how it goes from here
2:52
All right. The back line. This is going to get a little wild
2:58
No, it's easy. Difficult choices. A lot of competition here. All right, so my back line that I'm going with, again, this is Argentina's best in the 2000s
3:07
So I'm going to go with Zanetti. I'm going to go with Kuti Romero. I'm going to go with De Micheles
3:12
And I'm going to go with Heinze. I mean, that is a stacked back line. You put that back line on any national team right now, they're probably getting at least to the World Cup final
3:18
We're talking about people who redefined each of those positions. Strong men could do a great job
3:23
Won World Cups. We got some World Cup winners on that back line. I think we got a nice..
3:28
We got one. We got one. We got World Cup on that back line. Don't say some. Yeah, yeah, yeah
3:32
We got one. We got one. Was Heinz a part of the AD6 run? The old dude
3:37
All right. I'm going to say we've got some... Enough there where I think that's a nice back line
3:41
And I think that should be the choice. I agree. It's a really, really good back line. But fortunately, there's a better one at the end of the day
3:47
And if we look at Brazil's back line, it's just undebatable. And I know you agree with me already with that smile
3:52
Who you got? Cafu. Okay. Are you kidding me? Good player. Lucio and Thiago Silva
3:57
Let me tell you just about that back line. If there was a picture of leadership in the dictionary
4:02
you would see those two faces right there. Talk about leadership. Talk about dictating the play, controlling the game
4:08
attitude in the locker room, mentality going into the match. Those two, that duo is unbelievable
4:13
And then Marcelo. We're talking about arguably the two best fullbacks ever. I don't care what no one says
4:18
Cafu, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Lucio. This shouldn't be even a debate. You said what If Argentina had that backline today it would win another World Cup It gets to a World Cup final Yeah but we would win the World Cup with this backline Oh okay Well you gotta get there first I think if this was an argument about just fullbacks I give you that
4:35
Fair. And while I think Lucio, Lucho, and Thiago Silva are incredible
4:40
Guti Romero and Di Michele, no one's getting past that. So if you're willing to weigh that a little bit more
4:45
I'm not. If we could take, I would say let's take Brazil's fullbacks and Argentina's centerbacks
4:52
We're not doing that. So I think you have to weigh the center back position a little more because they're the ones right directly in front of the goalkeeper
4:57
I would say. I'm sorry. Argentina takes it. The issue I have here with Argentina's back line is Romero
5:06
Crista Romero. The one who won the World Cup? The one who won the World Cup? That's your problem
5:10
It's just so wild because the rest of the names there, I think, are better players
5:15
Don't have recency bias, though. No, no, no. I'm going to say, look, he did win the World Cup
5:19
So recency bias would be me favoring him. But I think, again, these legendary defenders across Argentina, it almost feels weird that Coutinho Romero is there
5:29
I could have put Otamendi, but I thought Coutinho Romero won, gave us a World Cup, so it allowed me to argue this a little better
5:34
And two, I thought, presented now what is a stronger center back versus someone who would more cut you down, if you will, in Otamendi
5:43
I would say Otamendi is probably the better name there that could be included
5:48
but even still with Otamendi there, it goes to Brazil. I think this backline is
5:55
I'm terrified of just reading the names on that screen. Even with Thiago
6:00
Thiago Silva alone has the mentality of those almost like four, he's worth four defenders
6:06
You know what I mean? He's got a rap song named after him. Fine. I don't want to be that guy
6:09
I don't want to be disrespectful to Argentina, but I kind of get what you're saying in terms of the Romero thing
6:14
Yes, he won a World Cup. Even Otamendi won a World Cup, But to say they, like, I don't know, to put them greater than any of these Brazilian centerbacks is wild
6:23
Yes, they won a World Cup. Maybe Thiago Silva didn't win a World Cup. But if you're watching the game, those two don't compare to Thiago
6:29
Say that to his face, bro. I'd love to see that. Doesn't compare
6:33
I'm sorry. Just to make it clear, you're rocking with Brazil? I'm going with Brazil. All right. 1-1
6:37
1-1. It's barely even started. round three midfielders and both countries have had absolutely legendary sets of midfielders so
6:49
maddie go first let me see let me hear you yeah i mean listen brazil's midfield in the 2000s
6:54
unfortunately got a little worse as it went on but i still think i have a strong enough midfield
6:58
to kind of get us over the finish line okay i'm gonna start with casemiro didn't win with brazil
7:03
too much but i think five times champions league winner quality that he brings the experience that
7:08
he has. He understands how it is to win and being in one of the, in my opinion, one of the
7:12
greatest midfields of all time, he was part in a key piece of that. Unfortunately
7:16
on the national team, wasn't able to win, but I don't think that falls on Kazemiru at all. Also put Kaká there. Not much
7:22
needs to be said. I mean, Ballon d'Or winner. Absolute animal. Didn't have the longevity
7:26
because of injuries, but what he did at AC Milan, he's there. And I'm also going to throw
7:30
in, I'm not going to put him on the wing. I'm going to put just make it spicy. Ronaldinho
7:34
Ronaldinho in the midfield as well. So I got Casemiro, Kaká, Ronaldinho
7:38
Casemiro a little more back, them two a little more attacking. Who the heck is stopping that
7:42
midfield? Please, enlighten me. I'll tell you. My midfield got more ballon doors than your
7:48
entire squad. My midfield. You're gonna put him at the midfield. Hold on. First, I'm gonna tell you, Alexi
7:54
McAllister, just clean up in front of that back line, alright? Do your thing
7:58
Riquelme, quite possibly. I hear violins playing when this man has the ball at his feet
8:04
The saucers, the wavis, the smoothest midfielder of all time, Enrique Herme
8:09
And then, of course, the one, the only, quite possibly, the GOAT of all GOATs, Lionel Messi
8:15
There is no way on any God's green earth you are going to pick anyone
8:19
in the midfield that doesn't involve Messi. I don't care if I said Alexis Guerrero
8:23
said not Alexis McAllister. You still got to pick the Argentinian midfield because Lionel Messi
8:29
Gannuzzi, or whatever his actual other last name is. He's got like a real wild Italian man
8:34
Cuchatini. I'll take two of that in a chicken barn. Let me tell you
8:38
Lionel Messi. And that's the only name I need to say. I don't know, though, because McAllister, I don't think, even touches Casemiro
8:48
You mean Casemiro, who's exposed at United? A 32 We talking about a prime You want to bring prime and prime How much are we on a week How much would they pay for him 50 million Well I don care about the price I care about the ability the performance Alexi McAllister Champions League winner
9:02
And not stacked at Real Madrid. Yeah, it was stacked because of him
9:06
He included Messi in his midfield. And obviously, this is a Trump card
9:11
This is a big... We need to change the name of that card. I just realized
9:15
He is throwing this. We got to change that Obama card, bro
9:21
Can you make a case why this midfield set for Brazil could outdo this midfield set for Argentina
9:30
Just who competes with Messi? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I heard it
9:36
Messi's not tracking back. That's what Alexi McAllister is, bro. Why do you say it like that
9:41
But neither is Ronaldinho. I have an argument. Who passed the torch to Messi
9:46
Ronaldinho gave him his first assist. Opened the world for him. Who was such a bad example that they kicked him off the team
9:51
so they wouldn't ruin Messi's career? Ronaldinho. What are we talking about? Why are we talking about this, bro
9:56
I don't know why we're talking about this. Messi, I can't compete with Messi
10:00
Messi would be popping Mali at the club. And I hate that you threw Messi in the midfield
10:04
I had to win this. I had to win the midfield. That's fine. I got something waiting for you in the next round
10:09
All right, let's go. He can't marry. I can't marry. I can't marry. I can't marry. I can't marry. I can't marry. I can't marry
10:12
I can't marry. I can't marry. I can't marry. I can't marry. I mean, basically because Alexis is like, Brunadine is a bad influence
10:16
He was. That's why they moved him on, bro. We cared about influence now
10:22
Man. Yeah, I didn't think I had to go. Hey, let's go. It's messy, everybody
10:26
I'll see you next round. All right, let's go. Okay, final round
10:31
Attacking front three. Who are your attacking options to help fill out this starting 11
10:38
Okay, now I can put players wherever the hell I want. Uh-huh
10:42
All right, let's remember that. We're crashing the box on this one, boys
10:46
No rules, no rules. Up top, el cunagüero. Quite possibly the greatest striker in Premier League history
10:52
Okay, we got Di Maria on the right wing. Okay. Standing in those crosses
10:58
You feel me? And you're thinking, wait a minute, who are you going to put on the left? Oh, how about el apache
11:04
All right? Let's go, Carlos Tevez. When Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano both got to West Ham
11:11
The coach said, yo, why is he so different than you? And Javier Machirano said, when I went to bed, I heard the sound of cows chewing grass
11:17
When he went to bed, he heard the sounds of gunshots. That's the guy I want on my left wing
11:22
He ain't scared of none of y'all, bro. He ain't scared of nobody
11:25
You had a good childhood. I don't want you on my team
11:29
No, don't get up out of here. Bring me your trauma that makes you want to play good or else we're sending you back
11:35
I think Carlos Tevez, Cuneguero, and Di Maria is unstoppable. It ain't about the flair
11:44
It's about the goals. But there's some flair there. There's some flair, but you're going to remember it in the highlight
11:49
What you're going to see is three people trying to score a goal. As far as a tough front three, a hood front three
11:55
All right, let's go. This feels like a strong lineup up top
12:01
Matty, for Brazil, what do you got? Listen, man. You said it's not about skill
12:06
It's about goals. We got both. We got both. And you know what
12:10
I'll just start with a simple one that will kill the argument right now. Striker up top, R9
12:14
That by itself is Rappies. Can we make it to the late 20-teens
12:20
Because then I think I might have this. You know what I mean? I changed the game a little bit
12:25
R9 up top. No debate. That already ends it. But I'll keep going
12:31
Why not add the baby goat, Neymar? I mean, who's going to stop that right there
12:36
Imagine them two playing together. Oh, my. Wow. And then just to add, you know, we already have the goals
12:43
We have goals and flair. Let's add a little bit of attitude, a little bit of flair, a little spiciness
12:48
Vinny on the left wing. Vinny? Yeah, I'll put Vinny up on the left wing. Interesting. I mean, Ronald Dillon's already in the midfield
12:53
Put Vinny left wing. I think that's a nice little combination up top. I think that's a manager's dream
12:57
I think that's any team's dream. And I think it's your dream as well. And I think it's going to be your selection
13:01
I mean, this is a front three that I've played against in FIFA Ultimate Team
13:07
I would say if OnlyFans had existed back then when R9 was playing, I think I would win this because they'd all be distracted
13:15
These three would be distracted. I want to go out with these guys They might have the post I might be with this squad But I think for mine I put three dogs up in that front line You did
13:29
I mean, but R9 is R9. And just like you had Messi in the midfield, R9 up top is
13:35
there are a few names that could even be in the conversation of a lineup
13:41
that didn't include him, you know, in like a World XI or whatever
13:44
but Neymar, R9, and Vinicius, if I'm a defender, I'm looking at
13:53
like, oh, we play Brazil tomorrow? I might call out sick. I might not be able to make it to this game
13:59
I got something. I'd be like, yo, Tiddy's in the third row. I think you do that for 90 minutes
14:04
They will be there. Interesting. It has to be Brazil. This is almost an unstoppable front three
14:11
where you are terrified of either of the three getting the ball
14:15
So this is 2-2 then. So we are tied, everybody. Super sub
14:18
I'll do a super sub. I'll do a super sub right now. We are tied after four rounds
14:23
It is 2-2. The tiebreaker is going to be super sub. 91st minute
14:28
Who comes into this game, scores a goal, and gets all the glory? Who wants to go first
14:32
You know what's screaming to me? Clutch player. Okay. You need a goal
14:36
Last minute super sub. I'm not doing hypotheticals. I'm doing someone who already lived this
14:43
Give me a Rodrigo. Rodrigo's going into that game. Rodrigo did it versus Man City when they needed him most
14:49
If you want a player that can play anywhere, right wing, left wing, behind, even striker at times, Brazil has put him there
14:55
You can put him anywhere. If you only have one player, versatile, lethal finisher as well
14:59
and clutch gene, Rodrigo is screaming my name. I'm getting Rodrigo as my super sub
15:04
All right, well, I think that's wonderful, and I don't know what kind of stock you own in Rodrigo
15:08
but I'm going to give you a name that, oh, I don't know, scored the most goals in Serie A
15:15
has won Serie A multiple times. Record-breaking transfer, Gonzalo Higuain. Oh my goodness
15:22
He went four years. I believe it was like 29 goals, 32 goals, 38 goals, 24 goals
15:28
in all competitions. This guy is a beast. If I'm bringing someone in at their peak, Gonzalo Higuain
15:35
If he's so clutch, though, he had the opportunity to show that at the World Cup Final 2014
15:41
versus Germany, and what did he do? Fold it. And how did Rodrigo play in the World Cup final
15:48
How did Rodrigo play in the World Cup final? At the end of the day. We're talking about a player that's going to be playing for Arsenal next season
15:53
not all your storied Real Madrid. Who performs when they're at the big stage
15:57
Higuain did not perform when he was at the big stage. In a game Rodrigo never even made
16:02
In a game Rodrigo never even got to. That's crazy. Well, tell me what time Higuain did an amazing comeback
16:08
In three minutes, being subbed on. in the 89th minute. Scoring 38 goals
16:13
having more than 40 goal contributions in an entire season. But is he doing it when it matters
16:17
The World Cup is when it mattered and they lost and I will blame it until this day on him. So then when Rodrigo does it
16:21
in the World Cup, then I'll believe he's better than Gonzalo Higuain. And when Higuain does it in the Champions League
16:25
versus the strongest Man City team of all time, then I'll believe he's better than Rodrigo. So, I mean
16:29
we have to think about it this way. When we think about the, again, the career and the resume
16:34
of course, Gonzalo Higuain is, you can't take anything away from that
16:38
from what he's brought. You know, also the last time I watched him play, he was wearing an Inter Miami jersey, right
16:43
He even did it in the summer. He walked so Messi could run or whatever the opposite, whatever the saying is
16:50
Rodrigo, also a bowler for sure. A bowler. And then also he has scored big goals
16:56
I never said he was a bad player. But super sub? A super? He's the definition of that
17:02
Gonzalo Higuain, a storied career versus a guy who did it a couple times
17:06
No, but as a sub though. He's not even a sub. So a super sub is the definition of Rodrigo
17:12
That tells you how good he is. He's a starter. And I'm bringing him off the bench. That's fine. Okay
17:16
So again, like I said, this is a very, very difficult decision
17:21
Shout out to all the angry comments that we're about to see in the video
17:26
Oh, I love this. I like the sound of this. So when I think of super sub coming off the bench and impacting the game and making these tired defenders have a difficult time
17:36
remember that he probably wouldn't have made the starting spot my guy would have I'm gonna go
17:41
with Rodrigo Brazil this feels yes and it is crazy
