@@inferno890 i play it at a high competitive level and there are tons of leagues here in the bay area of California with mexican players. All these good quality players are also surrounded by some questionable influences. For instance, i brought a player into my club who said he was top quality. He didnt last an entire match because he was fatigued from partying the night before. It also doesnt help when players show up late to matches and dont warm up. I get it. It’s sunday league. But you still got high levels of competition in it. Basically this mindset affects every facet of thousands of mexican footballers week in and week out in both high level and casual levels of the game.

As someone from Costa Rica I cant help but mention Joel Campbell he joined Arsenal at the age of 19 even rejecting a move to Man United and after several loans he was playing in Mexico at the age of 27 and now at 31 he’s back home. He was brilliant at times like in the 2014 World Cup and had some decent loan spells at Betis and Olympiakos.

I didn’t realize he was so young during that World Cup and when he signed for Arsenal, honestly a bit sad he ended up at Leon and Monterrey at such a young age, at least he got paid tho, clubs like Monterrey in Mexico pay A LOT in wage.

I can see the thought on Coutinho, though. But think he's fine with it tbh. being a Spain and Germany champion, and Champions league winner. Think many would take that. Prob his motivation went down after that.

The one player that always come to my mind when similar lists are made is Mario Balotelli. He had his problems outside and inside of the pitch but he also had the potential to be one of Italy's best strikers of the 21st century. He was a beast on FIFA 14 as well.

I’m a massive Barcelona fan and a massive Coutinho fan. That being said, I think our signing of Coutinho was one of the dumbest signings in history. He likes to have the freedom to roam, drop into the middle of the park, play long balls, and carry the ball in and out of the wide spaces. Who else does that? The one and only Lionel Andres Messi. They could never work in a system together. Had we signed Coutinho after Messi left, I think it could’ve been a massive success. Messi needed out and out wingers, and unfortunately (for both parties), that’s never been Phil :(

Man i havent heard of Giovanni Santos in years. My mom was such a big fan of him when he played for Mexico

I'm always scratching my head at these as the first person for me to come to mind is RVP. Now I'm a Tottenham fan but I started watching him at Arsenal and Bale at Spurs... Another one maybe. RVP was a phenom, he was a wonder to watch then the fateful move to Man U fizzled him out.

Thanks for the great content Vizeh, always a pleasure seeing your videos. Also, If they are French speakers over here Id also recommend the youtuber "VALFOOT", he also does alot of "footballers who ruined their careers" videos and really good analysis about players/clubs/teams journeys.

Berahino man. So talented he was

Hi Viz, great vid always gonna be a banger. I would recommend talk about the Ghana national team. We have the players but our FA is corrupt and keep using the older players instead of the new younger and better ones. Hope you read this. Love from Ghana🇬🇭🇬🇭

As a Chelsea fan, I'd say Hudson Odoi and ross barkley, but it wasn't really their own fault.

That greece player which celebrated a goal with a, hmmm, questionable gesture, and was banned.

What a moronic thing to say that a player ruined his career when all they did was not live up to the early hype that hundreds upon thousands of players get

Seriously man? I expected football scandals or smth. The perfect fit for this video was Mario Götze, who ruined his career with the world cup goal (Public pressure, expectations, too much hype for him to handle at that age etc).

lol as a mexican gio case is prob the most known yet is common for alot of our players. So much wasted talent over the years

Everyone likes to clown on footballers showing hung over to training and getting in trouble. But you know what, I'm not a hypocrite, I show up hung over to my job all the time. Good for them. They are living life. Legends.

As a Galaxy fan Giovani was frustrating. His inconsistency was infuriating. He string together like 2-3 good games and then nothing (I forgot he was actually injured a couple times cause he’d have so little impact)

OSCAR … HULK ….. BOJAN ….. DENNNERRERR…. Especially DENER

Dos santos was class at ipswich! Probably the best loan ive ever seen at town. Shame we couldnt buy him

12:41 “we’ve all heard the audio so it’s baffling he’s still playing” is it? is it really? what do you think actually happens in that audio? not raping her that’s for sure. he pressures her for sex and gets angry when he can’t get his way but that’s not the same as actual rape. not to analyse a crime too much but you can rape someone without saying anything. and in case you didn’t notice he was suspended for 18 months and is widely hated. it’s not like Thomas Partey where the allegations came out and he just carried on playing like nothing happened. I’m not defending him but people are having their emotions swayed by that audio too much, he doesn’t rape her in it, that’s the fact. we actually don’t have evidence at he raped her at all. the images are more damning actually, because he’s obviously hit her. but to say it’s baffling that he’s still playing after that evidence came out - it actually isn’t, you just want to maintain a pure and idealistic view of football that these types of characters aren’t in it. footballers are not role models - they are stars, which is an important difference. you don’t have to be a nice person to succeed in football. you just have to be good at football. everyone wants to pretend otherwise but the Greenwood case just shoved it all in our faces that that’s not true.

Look at some of the other players at 3:28 Christian Atsu caught my eye in particular

Berahino was decent for us (swfc) but always looked like he needed a big man next to him to deal with the stronger defenders as he’d lost a yard of pace

For me the biggest talent I’ve seen at my club was Jese . That ACL injury ruined him and after that he had problems with his partner, he missed training sessions at psg , completely ruined himself shame :(

I would say Ever Banega,his attitude cost him big,his link up with Messi at the 2010 and 2014 World Cup was good. And Alejandro Papu Gomez although peaked after 29 and won world cup with Argentina ruined his career. His combination with Ilicić at Atalanta BC was epic until he disrespected Gasperini and now is banned for 3 years from football after drug test. Got himself early retirement.

And I don't mean cases like Roberto Baggio or Marco Reus who despite all the odds had great careers and we just wonder what more could they achieve with functioning bodies (Baggio would have page-jacked the Matrix I'm sure). Just heartbreaking stories of complete failure (although it may be a bit depressing)

Coutinho still hurts me, he fitted flicks system to a T, pain Barca wanted so much atm for him

Aubameyang when he got that new contract for Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez to Man United were also huge fall offs

Imo I wouldn't say Giovanni ruined his career, he went of his own volition to la galaxy which, while definitely not at the same level as Villarreal, was one of the strongest clubs in north America at the time, asides from the fact that Los Angeles is both close to his birth nation of Mexico and has a significant Mexican population, which I'm sure were significant factors for the signing (as well as, of course, the wages). Footballers are humans too and sometimes it makes sense to lower your level. Glaring omission in my opinion would be Karius, who in 90 minutes went from promising talent to laughing stock
