Soccercito - Football Pyramid - 07AUG2025

I feel good

I feel good about myself. My confidence is not shot. Because sometimes, you know, I'm on Soccercito and I leave

And I'm crying at home. Crying in the shower. I'm crying every time you're on as well. Welcome back to Soccercito

Today, we are playing football pyramid. We are blind ranking players. And then after, we'll discuss and put them in the correct order that we think and agree

Fellas, we ready? Let's do it. Let's do it. And today's category is Chofis 1

Chofis 1, Gareth Bale. The problem is, I don't know who's coming next. You want a lot of Chofis

I'm going to put them at 5 to start. Ooh. Fire. Five. Because they're going to be a little crazy

We'll see. Steven Gerrard. We don't know who's on here, but it has to be nine

At the very least, nine. Yeah. There might be somebody with zero. I'm sure he slipped all the way down

Ah, turncoat. The little boy inside his head said he needed to go to United and be a

I'm going to go. Best decision of his life. I'm going to put him at. Let's go eight for now

All right. I'm going to go Morata. I'm going to go six. One

One is crazy. I mean. That is crazy because we don't know who else is coming. We don't know. Yeah. But we're going to

We're going to. You're breaking my heart. I have to put him 10

He just started his career. We've been saying that for five years

He's a young man. Well, I'm sorry. He started 16 years old. If you're putting Mueller 1, Neuer has to be 2

I'm going to put Neuer 3. 3. There's going to be one more. That's going to be like, whoa. We're going to probably rearrange this later, but he's going to be at 7

Bill Foden. I feel like we're going to move him down to 3, but I'm going to stick with him at 2

I'm interested for this last one right here. Put him at four

Messi to the top Messi has to be one He won everything

And then Neuer was injured for a long time So I would say Messi, Müller

Neuer was not injured for a long time He had a spell He was out ACL or

I believe he had two Two stints out So that means He won a lot

But he missed some national team games But Byron also won 11 straight times

And I believe he was there for pretty much all of them Müller ain't been injured any of those Okay So

Can we do hearing both your points. Leo Messi, I think Muller

Neuer. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Messi. Then Foden

Then Foden. Or no, maybe Gareth Bale? That's a good question. That's a really good question

And I think I would have to give it to Gareth Bale. Phil Foden or Gareth Bale? Gareth Bale

So Gareth Bale got to... Won for a longer period of time than Phil Foden as well. Well, let's be clear here

We have Man City with a 4P. 4P and a few FA Cups. And a Champions League

And a Champions League. Bale had what? He had three Champions League? Liga titles, if I'm not mistaken. Not that much

He was on the team. He was on the team, but Barcelona also played in La Liga and they won a couple of games

I think I actually might put Foden over Bale. My theory is Bale over Foden

but I'm willing to go with whatever the group is suggesting. Let's also... Can we also just agree Harry Kane

goes to the bottom? Yes. Let's put Harry Kane 10. Or wait, has Gerrard never won a trophy

He won Champions League. Champions League. So he has one. Kane won

one trophy with Bayern Munich right now? Yes, they just won. So I think it's Gerrard 9

Kane 10. Wait, did Sokka 8, right? Sokka would be 8, Van Persie 7 for now

Van Persie won the league, and what else did he win that year? With May United, he won the league, and he also won, I think that's it

Them boys never won the Euros or nothing. Before we move on, Foden, Gareth Bale, I think Bale over Foden

I also think Bale over Foden. Let's do it then, because I actually don't know. I think it's close, but I do think Bale over Foden

Where did Bale go afterwards? Straight to LAFC? No, he went back to top. He also won at LAFC, by the way

Did he? Yes. He won the MLS Cup. There you go. There you go. It helps. None of these other guys have won the MLS Cup, so kind of embarrassing

Gerard barely even played. That's Maradona's biggest regret, he said. He never won the MLS Cup

He said that after he died. It was in his will. I don't know why

I kind of like Morata there. Morata feels right at six. And I think Van Persie over Saka

I'm not sold on that. I also think Van Persie over Saka

Sokka won What? Sokka won FA Cup Uh-huh And Community Shields Vampiracy has to be above Sokka

Summer Series There's no way Vampiracy just won the league That's all he ever won That's it

There's no way What did he win at Arsenal? Nada Zilch What

We're happy with Kane, Gerrard And we're happy with The first six So really the conversation

Is Sokka over Vampiracy I need to put I want to put Vampiracy over Sokka I think I need to put Vampiracy over Sokka

That's what I would do But I don't I just can't comprehend That at Sokka's age

He has more trophies Than Vampiracy It doesn't make sense to me. There's no way. If you agree, I mean

Did he win anything in the. No. Right? The Netherlands didn't win anything. The Netherlands didn't win anything

England hasn't won anything either, though. He has that iconic goal. The diving header. I like this

I like this. Now I'm changing my mind. I think Sokka above Van Persie

Okay. Sokka Van Persie. I'm thinking Van Persie. Sokka. Sokka won Van Persie. All right

Let's go. Lock it in. I don't even care if I'm wrong. I just want to Van Persie to be below Sokka

We are locking it in. Top 10. Chofies won. based off the names we got given

Reveal the list. All right. Okay. How did we get? No way, Saka

Wait, hold on. We got Van Persie. Foden is one more than Bale? Yes

That's what I... Hey! Hold on. Saka might have won more than Morata. We're... Don't think we... Hey

We got that wrong. Morata! Morata! Don't sleep on Morata, bro. We just got Like we said he goes to the top clubs Phil Foden we overvalued Morata he won a lot without being super essential in all of them Saka is below Van Persie

I knew it. So what else did Van Persie win besides? And also Gerrard

Gerrard, I don't know. Like, I thought he won a lot less than that

It must be some, maybe a Community Shield, maybe a Super Cup

Did he win a Leagues Cup? I think over here we messed up. Just not, we kind of underestimated Morata

Did he win anything for England, Gerrard? No, right? What has England won? They haven't won a major trophy since 1966

Yeah. I don't think it was too bad. We overvalued Sokka and we undervalued Morata

And we also undervalued Gerrard. And Gerrard. Yeah. Don't point at Sokka. Sokka's all about two or three here

Gerrard is a little bit higher than we expected. Yeah. All right. So we got half of it right

I'm pretty good with that. I'm okay with that. This isn't too bad. It wasn't too bad. Especially considering we forgot the Netherlands exist

That's not bad. Well, I think exactly. I feel good. I feel good about myself

My confidence is not shot. Because sometimes, you know, I'm on Soccercito and I leave and I'm crying at home, crying in the shower

I'm crying every time you're on as well. But also, I think you and I are doing a good job of affecting, we're counteracting his Manchester United bias

No, no, no, no, no. I feel good. Let's go to the second round. I think it's going to be better

All right, baby. Football pyramid round two. Most red card. You know what

Gattuso, but he played in an era where a lot of those were allowed. I'm going to put him in four or five

I'm going to go four. I'm going to put him at his number. Seven. Wow. That's pretty high

CR red card? That's crazy. CR sent off. I just firmly believe he's going to put some names in there that are like goody two-shoe

boys, you know what I'm saying? Boom. Oh. Epic. Also played until he was like 41

Right, right. Good center back. Not necessarily that egregious. He was. He's a three or five

He feels like a five to me. He feels like a five to me. No way. I think a five. They call him Crazy Pepe for a reason

That was my nickname in high school. The weird era. Pepe has a lot of red cards. A lot

Who? Just because we don't know who else is on this list. I think that's a good guy

He's a good family man. Yeah. You're just saying that because he's German

It feels like one of the lower end. I'm thinking eight. I'm thinking eight. That seems fair. Eight

Not how Matic is. This guy's a prick. Not more than Roy Keane

So I'm going to say three. Oh. See what I mean? Let's go nine

He's gotten a few, I should say. For him. For him. I got to say. More than you think you would have

Yes, exactly. But it's nowhere near like. If he has more than three, I'd be shocked. Ronaldo has more than Messi, right

I know the name. I don't know. I'm going to put him at six for now

That's actually not a bad shot. That's not a bad shot. Put him at six in the middle. You guys can figure it out for me

I mean, there's no way he's standing, so I'm going to put him at one. But I don't think, ultimately, he's not

We'll play around with it. Sounds about right. All right. So top of the list, Sergio Ramos

We're going to fix this up. I promise you. I just want to start off by saying I think Pepe is top three

I'm fine with that. But all right, here's the thing. We got to figure out who are the most likely to be top of the list

Right now, it's a competition between Sergio Ramos, Roy Keane, and Gattuso

But Gattuso played in a different league. Jafa Marquez, though? Jafa Marquez is, for me, fourth place

We have to figure out who's top. It feels like Sergio Ramos is the hipster pick

Yes. But he also got a red card right before the final when he went back to Sevilla

And I think he's got a red card. Yeah, he got a red card in Monterrey. In Monterrey

So I think, like, one. Sergio Ramos won. I'm happy with Sergio Ramos won. It feels like Roy Keane would be one, but because Sergio Ramos is still playing, I'm fine with him

I won. Yeah, but he also played for Rao for so long, and they buy the refs

I kind of like the top five. You think Pepe above Gattuso

Yes. I'm telling you. Pepe's crazy, man. Look, I'm fine with that

Is he above Rafa? I don't know about that one. Honestly, I don't know enough about Jafa Marquez to know

Here's my problem. Pepe continued to play in Portugal up until last year, right

Yeah. This is his first year of retirement, if I'm not mistaken. Unless he's in Saudi and I forgot

I didn't realize it. All right. So I'm going to go Rafa got a couple of red cards at Red Bull as well

I'm comfortable going Sergio, Roy Keane, Rafa, Pepe, Gattuso. I love that

I love that. I could be comfortable with Pepe above. We're forgetting PK as well, by the way

I mean, his last name is Penalty K. You know what I mean? It's crazy. I don't think he was that reckless of a player. No

He's just had some iconic red cards. Like mistakes. You know what I'm saying

But not like aggressive. I need Judah, Evertoni, and Toffee over here. Talk to me about Gareth Barry

I remember the player. A lot of appearances for Everton. Not, I wouldn't say notorious for getting red

but he's played a lot of minutes for Everton. So I could see him. To me, like six or seven feels fine for him

You know why? He's such a random name that it feels like maybe he's got a while

else would he be on this list? Right, right, right. So Messi last. Are we going to go Ronaldo or Lom above him

Messi 10, P.K. 9 for now. Okay. I'd say Lom 9. Can we

Sorry. Hold on. Let's just figure out 9. Lom or P.K. I'm saying Lom. I'm saying Lom

Lom. Lom at 9. Ronaldo here feels right. Yeah. Ronaldo. And then P.K. above him

Yes. I like this. Although Gareth Barry. I like this. I think we're locking it in. No no Gareth Barry P is the last choice Switch it No I say leave it like this All right we locked in Let go Let do it We locking it in Let see if we got these right Locked in

Jesus. Jesus. What? You know what? All right. We got Sergio Ramos

We got one correct. Let's look at the positivity. Marcus was high

Pepe was higher. PK was high. And look at Ronaldo. How about Filip Blum

I told you, Ronaldo's attitude. Wow. Filip Blum. Filip Blum. Never had one? Never had one

I knew that stat. That's a stat. We should know that. You knew that? Why didn't you say it while we were figuring out the ranking, Matty

This is called teamwork. You are part of the team. Ridiculous. I just thought hire a Messi

Guess what? He didn't know that. All right. Messi has definitely gotten a few more

Garrett Berry. Cristiano Ronaldo more than Gattuso is a wild stat. That is so

Makes sense, too, though. Get him out of the game. My man. You're our PK

We kind of figured it out. He was in that middle group. Pepe more than Roy Keane

You were the one who was trying to tell us. Yeah, yeah, you called him crazy, crazy, Pip

Rafa, I knew for a fact, was up there. Yeah. I did not think he would have more than Roy Keane

Sergio Ramos, this is his thing. Also, the bias of the internet nowadays is constantly showing me Roy Keane red cards

So I'm like, this guy was a criminal playing on the bench. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He played with a knife, ducked into his hand

So Hafa Marcus was a demon, huh? Yo, he was a monster. What? Also, attitude problem

Football pyramid round three, the category, Champions League goal. There's a couple in there

His only goal ever for Champions League. God, my thing. God, my thing

I'm going to put him in the middle because we don't know who else is coming. So let's just say six

Six is good. Three. He won a lot. But he didn't play. He didn't play a lot

He didn't play a lot. No, he scored. He scored a lot. He scored a couple. He scored some famous ones

He scored a lot. He did a lot. Three seems high. Heinsdiger. In that position, I'd be surprised if he scored that many

I'm going to say five. I like five. Peter Crouch. Yeah. I mean, look, he played for Liverpool for a hot minute

And then that's about it. Right? You ain't Champions League. Portsmouth or... Tottenham

Tottenham. That's right. A little bit. I'm going to go nine. Yeah, I think I'm between two or four, but I'm just putting two for now

Theo Walker. Theo Walker, I'm going to say seven. That's crazy. I don't think that's too crazy

I don't think it's that crazy. I already said it was crazy. Harden Robert, you can't stop him when he cuts in

I'm going to put him at four because we don't know who else is here. I like that. I'm going to put him at four, but I believe he's like probably two or three

That PSG campaign was good. I'm going to put him at eight for now. We can change that up, but I think you're going to do it

going to put one more. He ain't one for sure. But he also ain't eight. But I get

where you're coming from. Yeah. Obviously injuries limited those goals. But he did score a lot

I mean, he had two choices. I'm going to say one for the, because 10 feels ridiculous

Yeah. Alex is Leonel Messi. 10. Oh, yeah. 10. Gerrard played in a lot. Peter

Crouch feels to me like he doesn't have that long of a career in champions

I think he might, it would be last. It's him or Kai Havertz. For some reason

Bale is calling my name for not top, but like I think three is not crazy or even four for Bale

Let's go top three. Can we figure out who our top three is? It feels like our nine needs to be in

that conversation. I feel like Robin Arjan Robin needs to be in that conversation. I agree. Put

him at one. I'll put Arjan Robin at one. I think our nine number one is too like good to be true

So I'm thinking like a three or two for him. Gareth Bale was injured for a long time. Bastian

Schweinsteiger isn't midfielder. Guy Havertz I think needs to move down to either nine or eight

I don't think he's that low. What if we switch Cavani and Havertz? Yeah, I'd be fine with that

I'd be fine with that. I think R9 at four makes sense. He was severely limited due to injuries

I can't imagine that he has more Champions League goals. Giggs feels to me like he should be below Bastion Schweinsteiger

No. Ryan Giggs was playing in the glory days where they were going to the Champions League every single year

Giggs should be pretty high up. Every year. So did Bastion Schweinsteiger. But he's a midfielder versus what

Giggs is a winger? And Ryan Giggs is also one of the top goals for United, meaning he's scoring goals

So then you're keeping him at number two? I don't know why that feels right. I feel this order is right

No, that's crazy. No, I'm saying the first four. Theo Walcott has to have more goals than Bester Schweinsteiger

Theo Walcott literally didn't miss the Champions League until he went to Everton

You might be right. Remember them group stages, bro. I'm okay with that

Again, I wasn't paying attention to Arsenal and Champions League that much. I actually am not familiar with Theo Walcott's game like that

Put Theo Walcott at five, or sorry, six, and Schweinsteiger at seven

And then Peter Crouch at 10, Gerrard at 9, and I'm good with that

I think it's Schweinsteiger, Gerrard, Havertz, Peter Crouch. I'm fine. All right, Champions League goals

We locking it in. Show me old green, baby. I think it's going to be red, but

We got one. What'd I tell you? Kevani? No way. All right, look at that

What'd I tell you? What'd I tell you? We got one wrong, and it threw everything off. Gerrard

Wow. Wow. Peter Crouch is more than Schweinsteiger and Kai Havertz. R-9-7 doesn't make sense to me

But he made the right point when he said he's injured a lot. He missed a lot of time

So we're remembering how great of a player he was. Theo Walcott, I put some respect on that guy's name, though

Look, the top five isn't terrible besides us underestimating Cavani because that kind of threw everything off

Cavani is, that's crazy. I disrespected Cavani. OD. I did not know about that I told you bro His PSG PSG days I know PSG was going crazy But that crazy To be over Robin But we were alright look We weren that wrong about Gareth Bale Robin or Giggs It just that if we would

have respected Karani a little more, I feel like we would have gotten a lot more agree. Yeah. Facts

Peter Crouch? I wasn't familiar with your game. I apologize. Football Pyramid final round. This one is

most assist. Fellas, how we feeling about this one? Dimes only. I'm here to assist you guys

in this victory. Victory? It means getting all of them right. I don't think that's happening

Wow. That Galactico team. He was just setting up tapping. Three. You weren't crying

Two? Yes. I mean, I think that's fair. Yeah. Played for a long time. Let's put him at four

Five. Nine gigs. Oh, well, you were just talking very highly of him

Tix feels low. No? We got to do it. All right. Six. He's going to be number one for sure

I'll put him at eight. Seven. His EA icon does pretty well for me at times

Nine. I mean, I don't. Probably. You know what? Ten. I'm actually going to say ten

I don't even think they passed when he played. Oh, damn. All right, let's go another one

Brutal. He didn't pass the ball much. Wow. All right. I don't know

Kid's Brazilian, folks. Most assists. Lino Messi is an assist machine. Johan Cruyff, one of the greatest players of all time

He played in an era where you did it yourself, though. He would cut people up. He did the Cruyff turn

That wasn't to make a pass. Just to speed things up, I think top two is correct already. I'm fine with top three, really

All I'm going to say is Ronaldo has the most Champions League assists in history

That's all I'm going to say. I know he doesn't look like the assist type of guy, but he has the most Champions League assists

which means he does pass the ball, even though people may think differently. Is he above Messi

No. Ronaldo? Yeah. No. I'm saying just above now, Moeller or Suarez or Giggs

I think top three is locked in, like you said. I don't think that because Pelé, we all know about his stats and people don't know if the numbers are accurate or whatever

but they're very, very high. I think he's probably two. Over Cruyff. In assists? In assists

His numbers are crazy. I get that. For goals. For goals. I think two is safe. Di Maria's also

crazy with the crosses. Played PSG. Played at United. Yeah, Di Maria has to

be pretty high. Soares is also sneakily high. Juve, right? Alright, let's get the legends out of the way, right? You guys want to put

Pele over Cruyff? I feel alright with it. I'm cool with it if you do. Okay, so go Pele two

Pigo has to be four, five, right? I'm gonna say Puskas ten. Also, Giggs should be

higher way higher actually i'm cool with gigs over suarez but do you want to put gigs over moeller

i would say yes i'm fine with it too cristiano ronaldo cristiano ronaldo is over di maria and

over suarez cristiano ronaldo goes to five yes switch ronaldo and suarez i would put suarez over

di maria i also think moeller is also and because messi's also still playing the msn era was crazy

it was crazy and and at liverpool he was also yeah he's playing also his iax career is bananas

Should we get rid of all the back-in-the-day players? Because that was a lot of individual excellence

So, like, Cruyff? How confident are you that Cruyff is? I don't know, actually

I just hear Cruyff, and I automatically think, like... And he invented total football. He invented pass-in-pass-back

That's exactly my thought. I read his autobiography, and his time in the Netherlands was ridiculous

They dominated. Yeah, no, they fully dominated. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not opposed to the list, but Figo at 9 is scaring me

That's the only thing that's scaring me here. And I don't know who to replace him with. Yeah, but Di Maria also scared me at 8

To me, more than Suarez. But Kroif's got a lot of assists. A lot of assists for Stryker

Messi, one. Pele, two. Three, Kroif. Giggs, four. Ronaldo, five. All good there

I feel like Giggs is too high. So now I'm getting a little nervous about Kroif

Feels like this one might be a little too high. I'm fine moving Johan Kroif a little lower

Maybe even like six. I'm going to trust you on this one. And let's just bounce everything down

So Giggs, I don't know if Muller's that guy, to be honest. Maybe he is. I may be bugging

Bayern just dominate. Nah, he is. All right. Screw it. We're taking too much time anyways

Sometimes, you know, when you change your answers on an exam, you kind of mess everything up. We might have just done that right now

What are you thinking? You don't look happy. Puskas is just throwing me. I know nothing about him. So either he had no or he had like a 17 billion

This is why we're all going to have everything wrong. You don't get an award for the best goal in the year

because you got a bunch of assists. That's not how the branding works

I get it. You're not wrong. But if you got the ball that many times to score

odds are you've been passing, especially different. Ah, screw it. Just lock it in, right

Show me the green. Show me the green. Show me the green, baby

Show me the green. Oh. They only got one. Messi wasn't one

Thomas Muller's right. At five. Watch Puskas be at the damn top

Let's see this. Stop it. Puskas, what? Stop, bro. How is he one

By the way, we basically just shifted the list down one. Except for Ronaldo Di Maria is crazy

Puskas. Puskas. What did you say? just because you scored. A goal award? Why do you need to get the assist award

I gassed up gigs a lot. I'm sorry. I keep doing that. We're failing, but we're not at least going to a juvenile facility

If you grade it on the curve. We tried. Let me just end by saying this

Puskas, we were not familiar with your game. We were not familiar. We were not. None of my time

Puskas and Peter Crouch are going to come to me in my nightmares, bro
