This is Paul Scholes you probably don't know him but you probably do recognize beckham who is often considered to be the greatest midfielders in England's history, if you asked literally any man united or English football fan they'll tell you that scholes was 10x better than beckham.Scholes was another level. Pin point accuracy in passing, dangerous attacking play, the ability to control the entire tempo of a game, Scholes outperformed Beckham in terms of goal scoring too. 155 goals in 718 appearances for Manchester United. Just google to see how many top midfielders rated Scholes as the best midfielder, see what players like Zidane, Davids, Iniesta, Viera, Figo had to say about the ginger.

But what Beckham was, in addition to being a top player, was a celebrity. He courted the media, enjoyed the limelight, married a pop star and got involved in fashion etc. All this elevated his status. He knew how to talk and his chad looks was something that English media could market so he became the poster boy for england while scholes was just a side character he wasn't as charismatic, he wasn't as involved with the british media. And he was a ginger manlet so he never got as famous as beckham. Brutal looks and NT pill

Amazing take he was the engine of some the best English teams of all time. Even when he retired and came outta retirement the following season he was still amazing. Pure class and I personally think he was better then lampard and Gerard, not statically but at being the backbone and engine of a team.

Ozil is the same
That guy is an ugly Turk subhuman with possibly one of the ugliest faces in football

He was a great player, but everyone treated him like shit because he was ugly

Obviously he was better than Beckham, another who focused on the halo effect.

Football is full of similar examples (not necessarily related to appearance), it is why Zidane is preferred over Platini (who rivaled Maradona), Gerd Muller is little considered, and more. Neymar had it but he is a moron and is now undervalued.

Also the only reason the Ronaldo vs Messi rivalry exists is because Ronaldo is a hardcore tryhard looksmaxxer Chad who mogs Messi in every single way and put 20 times more the effort while instead Messi is just an autistic manlet with talent and surpassed him many years ago anyway

Definitely not underrated. In football discourse he gets mentioned more than beckham. In fact its bekcham whos underrated cause ppl think of him as a celebrity who wasnt that good
