If that had been done by someone else, we would have been talking about it for a long time. They were discussing it for a long time.

You can watch LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, more on the US version of the network.

The Record newspaper said it was magic. O Jogo went for artistic. The moment when 39,999 people got to their feet, unable to believe what they had just seen, but really very glad they did: a Maradona in their midst. Those watching become witnesses and destined to always talk of it. The last part was even more absurd. He hasn't. Could he not?

He was unable in the end. At the minimum, not score. It may have made it better. You get the point. It became art for its own sake if it didn't end in a goal. Everyone was discussing it. The goal that wasn't is the Transcendent, maybe it's the word that's true. It was felt by those inside the place. The kid they called Mini Messi was Maradonian.

There had been a roar when, during the meeting with Spurs, Edwards produced a spin and fast feet. This wasn't the same. It was more like an oh, an ah and what the heck, breath held, supporters left mouths open and stood to applaud.

One report said that if you see him there you think he can't get out of there. He reaches the ball after he ran for it and thought he couldn't reach it.

The field of the European Championship was ranked from 32 to 1.

After picking the ball up in the middle of the pitch, he turned and beat Eric Dier, not once but twice, going past him to one side and coming back past him the other. He played it to Francisco Trincao and got it back, but missed a five yard shot. The ball was so close to the goal that it missed the post and hit Hugo Lloris.

Adan chuckled and said that he almost scored a historic golazo. It was one of those that made you laugh.

It wasn't just a single moment. Consistency is the challenge, of course. Just as he had done in the opening gameweek, when he provided an assist and scored a goal in a win at Eintracht Frankfurt, and then again in the second gameweek, when he scored a goal again, and then again in the third gameweek, when he assisted another He had played just 15 minutes in the League Cup for the club that he had joined when he was 8 years old.

Dier's family moved to Portugal when his mother got a job working for the Euro 2004 tournament.

They knew thatEdwards was special. His first professional contract was bigger than they had ever given a kid, and it had been a battle for a long time, and that was already a concern. The kid was going to be famous.

He was given a "Mini Messi" title because he was the most gifted of his generation.

He tried to take a step away from making it about his level from being loaded with that responsibility. It was out of his mouth from the moment he said it. The way he plays and the way he looks remind me of the beginning of Messi. He was given his debut in September of 2016 at the ripe old age of 17. He never played for Spurs again.

There was a loan atNorwich. A year in the Dutch port city. He played 85 games and scored 20 goals in two-and-a-half seasons in Portugal before he moved toSporting. Ruben Amorim said this week that they did well. People are asking if Spurs did or did not.

The latest highlights and debates are brought to you by Dan Thomas. You can stream on the US version of the network.

"He is a very good prospect and, potentially, he can be a top player but we need to be patient and tell him that he has a lot of talent, enough talent to be a top player, a great player, but now it's how he builds his future," said It was on the eve of his first and last game for Spurs that he said that was very important.

There were issues with authority and behavior, as well as an injury. In Lisbon, there was a suggestion thatEdwards is his own man, shy or distant, not always as engaged with others as they would like. The person was more important than the player.

It's always true. Listen to those around him and you will see that it was obvious then. How could it be different? "We're people, and that gets forgotten: it's like we're machines and we have to go out there and do what fans and journalists want us to do," Adan said. The personal element is often forgotten.

It never completely goes away. He took a while to adjust to Portugal, but he has adjusted. "Lisbon is not London, it's different, but he has the talent." He is able to get into the England team. He needs to pay more attention to everything surrounding it. Football is more than just a game. I think he can grow a lot.

He insisted that he wasn't even thinking about it when he was asked about it. He wants to play for England. He said it would be nice, after watching an English kid move abroad and destroy his old team. They wondered what the future might hold.

A Bola said a little ant who is not just about attacking inspiration, but who also gives everything in defensive duties. The exhibition was worth a lot of money. The man had seen it. He doesn't know how he was able to stop the goal that would have been the season's best.

He has the same quality that we saw a few years ago when he was training with the first team. He is a perfect fit for this type of team. He will have a bright future if he keeps doing the same things.

Adan said he was different.

He said that Marcus gave them the ability to go past people, to change a game, to take people on, and to break through lines. He's in a great place in terms of confidence, he's very good with the ball. He has joined a group that will benefit him. A group of people who are helping him to be more involved with the group.

He's doing his part as well. He talks to us a lot and that shows on the pitch. The way people are off the field is reflected on the pitch. He's happy now. The manager has faith and trust in him.

There was a happy expression on the person's face. He almost scored a historic goal. We're lucky to have a player of Marcus' caliber.
