For being a slightly above average player (1 Champions League, no World Cups)
Slightly above average ? The man is Brazil’s joint-top goalscorer along with Pelé. I’m not saying he is equal of Pelé, and I’m a PSG fan so he was mostly a disappointment, but saying he is « slightly above average » is exaggerated.

On this day 100 years ago, US President Warren G Harding died in office from a heart attack, he was 57. He’s one of the six presidents to die before turning 60, the last one being Kennedy.
He was the first president to be outlived by his father, the second and last one being JFK, who was survived by both his parents.
Also, he was the first president not to die in the Eastern part of USA. Since then, Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and GHW Bush have died in Texas; Harry Truman in Missouri; and Reagan and Ford in California.

2 hours ago, diego said:Mariano Díaz Mejía is a footballer who played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, he was born 30 years ago in Premià de Mar (ESP)
Are you sure he played for Barcelona ? He was born and raised in Catalonia, but I’m pretty sure he never played for Barcelona ?!?
He got one cap for Dominican Republic in 2013. When he went to Lyon in 2016 he became the first (and only to date) player from that country in Ligue 1. By scoring 18 goals in his only season, he became the top goalscorer from CONCACAF in Ligue 1.

This is true. But the Scottish Premier League only existed for 15 years, from the 1998 to 2013. So he is not Scottish First Tier top goalscorer ever. I think it’s Jimmy McGrory.
