Euro quali should definitely be tiered, obviously in both the male and female game. CONCACAF already do it and Europe has just as many mismatches if not more.

How?
All the top players in any sport need that ' little bit of arrogance ' it's basically a confidence thing... but that bloke goes completely over the top with his very pompous/arrogant attitude, no need for that sort of rubbish.
I think you need to look into him a bit more. Family man, does great work for charity, often has time for younger fans, a good teammate by all accounts.
Plenty of players are good family men & do great work for charity etc... but when playing he clearly comes across as egotistical, which makes any player in any sport look like a bit of an idiot.
Ok, you're entitled to your opinion. I don't think it's close to correct personally but equally I honestly can't see where you're coming from and he's probably the player I've watched the most in my life so it's not really worth continuing.
The article is based on Ronaldo, just giving opinion on him when playing in matches... I'm not the only one that has that opinion about the bloke.
I don't think defenders have what it takes to stick to elite forwards these days, guys like Salah and Mbappe would happily drag them out of position and only need an extra half metre of space to create opportunities.
Defenders should have decent pace to stick to strikers... as long as they stay on the balls of their feet so they can move quickly in any direction.
