@savageupdatesData of Statistics just dropped a graphic that lines up the 25 countries with the biggest football icons ever. The full rundown matches each nation with one defining player, starting with Cristiano Ronaldo repping Portugal, Lionel Messi for Argentina, and Pelé standing for Brazil. Germany claims Franz Beckenbauer, the Netherlands gets Johan Cruyff, and France is carried by Zinedine Zidane. Italy puts Paolo Maldini forward, Spain has Andrés Iniesta, England is Bobby Charlton, and Uruguay is Luis Suárez. Croatia is Luka Modrić, Belgium goes with Kevin De Bruyne, Sweden with Zlatan Ibrahimović, Denmark with Michael Laudrup, and Hungary with Ferenc Puskás. Ukraine is Andriy Shevchenko, Poland is Robert Lewandowski, Czech Republic is Pavel Nedvěd, Colombia is Carlos Valderrama, and Mexico is Hugo Sánchez. Cameroon is Samuel Eto’o, Nigeria is Jay-Jay Okocha, Egypt is Mohamed Salah, Japan is Hidetoshi Nakata, and South Korea rounds it out with Son Heung-min. The graphic itself keeps it clean with a soccer ball icon up by the title and a portrait for every single one of the 25 legends.
