I always think there is a difference between a player who has a great World Cup for a smaller nation versus a bigger team. I’m not sure why that it is. Your Example of Amrabat is exactly the kind of thing I think about great World Cup not so great long term investment.
That’s a really interesting distinction, and I hadn’t thought about it that way. Carrying a smaller nation might tell us something different than thriving within an already elite team. Amrabat is a great example because his World Cup created expectations that proved difficult to sustain over a full club season. It makes me wonder how much clubs are evaluating performance versus context.
