[Bachaveli]

Younis Mahmoud and Guillermo who?

Are they like what Crooked I is to hip hop. Best but unknown and unheard of players or underground soccer players lol.

 

[Flipmo]

Younis Mahmoud is the man who scored the winner for Iraq to take home the Asian cup. A big thing for a country like Iraq who were the big underdogs.

 

[Bachaveli]

Ok. I hope that isn't the only reason why they put him on the list.

 

[Flipmo]

Nah he's actually a decent player, wouldn't be surprised to see him go to a more mainstream club in Europe. He's 25 so it's going to be now or never I guess.

Ochoa is one of the best young keepers in the world right now. He was great in the Copa America.
