There are plenty of good footballers who never got to display their skills, on the world state. The most famous for me is Northern Ireland's George Bests.
Now people know him because he played for Man U for 11 seasons. However, the world never got to see his brilliance, due to the fact that Northern Ireland,
never qualified for the European Cup or the World Cup.
I think a modern day George Bests is Erling Haaland. He is a super star but Norway, unless they expand the field in the Euros and the World Cup.
We think it's sad that Johan Cruyff never won a World Cup but at least the world got to see him play and he went to a finals. The world never got to see the brilliance of George Bests. I don't know about you but I think that is very sad, he was just born in the wrong place. The distance from Belfast to London is about 332 miles. He would have won a world cup with the 1966 England team, if only he was English.
