At this point, he looks to be a generational talent who could become an all-time great. If everything goes well and he avoids injuries, I mean. He'll need to win a World Cup to be really considered an all-time great, I think...and he's not going to be a GOAT candidate unless he contributes heavily to a World Cup win and multiple Champions League titles. It would certainly help his case to stay at Real Madrid as long as possible, and stay out of England, where the press will rip him to shreds and destroy his legacy, whatever he does...that's his key to greatness, I think.

American here. The consensus among US fans is that we're currently transitioning into a top 10 football nation, and once we arrive, we won't leave. Our domestic league is finally filled with youth acadamies, and with our population, its only a matter of time before we're consistently pumping out superstars. Our current team hasn't solidified itself as a golden generation yet, but they're more skilled than any previous generation, and a world cup on home soil could be eye-opening. American fans are quietly hopeful that we've finally escaped the backwaters of world football and we’re ready to shock the world. This is an exciting time to be a US fan.
But, well, I guess we'll see...
