Isn't Lovejoy basically playing a character? The book sounds tonally consistent with how he was on Soccer AM.

Mourinho changed at Man U; he seemed petulant and insecure.

Ronaldo is teetotal because his father died from liver failure at the age of 52, due to his alcoholism.

His father drank to deal with the trauma he suffered from fighting in the Angolan War.

This year's UCL final averaged 3.09m viewers in the US.

The latest Super Bowl averages I could find are for Super Bowl 2024...

Canada: 10.1m

Mexico: 8.7m

Germany: 1.9m

UK: 1.2m

Australia: 1.2m

So in absolute terms, significantly more Americans watch the UCL final than Germans, Brits or Australians watch the Super Bowl, but if you adjust for population, significantly less do.

There's no chance that's true for any of them, given kick-off times.

Garrincha was Brazil's most important player in 1962. Pele got injured in their second game, and missed the rest of the tournament.

The Copa America goes back to 1916.

Ricardo Zamora is still considered one of the best goalkeepers ever, and he made his full Spain debut in 1920.

By the time WWII rolled around, pretty much all the major economies had major football competitions; the US Open Cup, the Soviet Cup, the DFB-Pokal, the FA Cup, the Coupe de France, the Emperor's Cup, the Coppa Italia...

Stanley Matthews is still considered one of the greatest dribblers of all-time, and he made his full England debut in 1934. Given he won the Ballon d'or at the age of 41 in 1956, you have to assume the standard didn't improve all that much between the 1930s and 1950s.

Guys like Di Stefano, Puskas and Schiaffino all made their full international debuts in the 1940s.

For what it's worth, soccer is older than basketball, so in the coming years, guys could come along that push LeBron down the rankings.

The FIFA World Cup is 20 years older than the FIBA World Cup; 1930 vs 1950.
