He's spent most his career playing the Belgium, Italian and Spanish leagues. Not a bum but a guy who's played in professional leagues his whole career

Exactly. Someone with that kind of experience is not an amateur. He might not have the legs or the mental tangibles to do it often but the talent and experience is still there.

Valued only at €350k, it is not the first time this “semi-professional” scrub from the Saudi Arabian league has ripped the net of Italy in their house. He tied the match 1-1 back in 2017 WCQ, taking a point home to Macedonia.

Alex shows up when it matters!

That's a former Serie A player with a lot of games for Palermo. It's like Pandev. Too old to do it consistently but the individual quality can strike at any moment.

If he was a career Saudi Arabia player he wouldn't do shit.

Wdym ? Albania 1-0 Portugal in the same manner, except that Portugal created less that day

That was 8 years ago.

We have since then not won a single point vs any top team, a single
In fact, don't think we've even scored a goal against a top team in a competitive fixture in 8 years. Lol

Lets look at the games in that time we've both played against "big" teams like it matters anyway.

2022 - 1-0 W Italy

2015:1-0 W France, 1-0L Portugal
2016: 2-0L France, 2-0 L Spain
2017:2-0L Italy, 3-0 L Spain, 2-0 L Italy
2018: 0 good teams

Don't count the friendlies and we have 0W 0D 12L.

We can't score any goals against good teams. And it is a problem because you don't qualify without at least winning a few points from good teams.

If we stole a win from England we come 2nd. Hungary went to their turf and won a point. But it was impossible for us. We have a problem against good teams.

Other teams such as Hungary and NM are around our level generally but have much greater upset potential.

They were the ones who came 2nd in their group and then beat EURO winners Italy to get to the playoff final.

Not us.
