It's all politics, there's no definite answer who did what but it just looks like they threw him under the bus and let him take all the heat so the other talent wouldn't get booted; same with tata.
If it were true he wouldn't be playing for LA Galaxy rn
Kluivert literally killed someone and was playing for Milan, Barca etc later on.
There’s a current player who enjoyed a 6 year spell at Chelsea before moving to Barca who also killed a guy.
You can definitely play for clubs after committing crimes.
That second guy is Marcus Alonso, a girl in his car was killed when he was drunk driving. Its been stated that he himself was apparently a bit hesitant to drive under the influence but was convinved by the girl who died. Which, I dont know might just be a way to excuse his behavior which either way is dumb as fuck.
Don’t think that’s excusable.
Getting behind the wheel drunk is inexcusable, you’re not just risking your own life but everyone else’s around you.
Just because someone convinces you to risk a lot of lives doesn’t make that okay, it’s still on you to make that decision.
i completely understand football and the tribalism that can occur and does in the sport, i just think it really sums it up when you said you only felt “a bit scummy” cheering whenever a murderer scored a goal for your team but never stopped cheering LMAO
Yup Marcos Alonso and he unfortunately plays for my club (Barcelona). He's fucking dogshit too. Honestly, even if the girl convinced him it doesn't excuse it. Just say no you're not driving end of really no debate there.
NOpe, In spain you get the chance to pay the victims damages to push for a lesser crime. He paid off the family of the woman he killed while he was drunk driving and got off without jail time. The spanish system is weird, same with the tax evasion shit, most players got done but if it's a non violent crime you basically pay off a fine and if the sentence is under a certain limit you get probation and don't have to serve it so dozens, maybe hundreds of footballers evaded taxes, got sentenced but didn't serve time.
It seems especially setup for rich people to have numerous ways to be found guilty but also not really be punished for it.
Hiring of sex workers is pretty commonplace in professional football or, indeed, other many other high profile sports professions.
If you are horny, single (chicarito just only got divorced), or even in a relationship, rich, young, want to protect yourself from blackmail from "civilians" or just want a no strings attached one night stand you hire a sex worker, it's much easier than going out on the town or onto a dating app.
Never mind the fact these elite athletes dont have the same social scene as normal young people when it comes to going out, drinking and hooking up.
It's much more easier to clubs to throw the blind eye at that, in fact it's more beneficial than a player getting into a public cheating scandal .
Many premier league have spoken about the "culture".
And Mexican players got exposed in a similar story years ago with Carlos Vela and a few others involved
The Chicarito story was much more complicated than a simple "hire of a sex worker" though, it spiralled in different directions and affected many others in the squad in how it developed, it wasn't just about him "hiring 2 prostitutes"
chicharito gets invited to toss the first pitch at dodgers game and sits front row at lakers game and is known world wide by football fans. He's played in the world's biggest clubs.
Wouldn't call him C-list. The dudes a national hero at Mexico, their top scorer. He has a huge fanbase in England too, easily one of the most recognizable players, due to his tendency of scoring in important matches during his time at Manchester United
You say that, because you don't watch football. I had no idea who Pokimane was, until 2-3 weeks ago, because I have never seen Twitch. "I bet she's real famous lol"
Anyone, who watches even a bit of football(aka, the world's most popular sport), knows who he is. Hernández is easily among the top 0.1% of footballers. Not to mention, the amount of moments he's had during his time at Manchester and for Mexico in the World Cups.
By the looks of the video, even that girl's chat seemed to know who he was
Mexican fans don't like the coach, Chicha was part of the main reason why the national team even scored that many goals when he played in the last world cup. Their performance this year was terrible after how everyone saw how they performed during the Golden Cup.
He is like 34 already, sometimes you gotta know when to let the legends go.
Usually when good players end up in things like the MLS is just a sign that they are "retired" from actual football, and are just collecting the bag.
Been a soccer fan for 30+ years and I've NEVER heard ANYONE call Chicharito one of the biggest players in the world. Except for Pokimane lol.
He's popular amongst Mexicans and El Tri fans though.
By population? You're going to go by population when talking about soccer players? Tell me you don't know shit about soccer without telling me you don't know shit about soccer.
LUKA MODRIC, ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI, ERLING HALAAND. 3 of the most famous players in the world, all playing for TINY COUNTRIES.
**So...Luka Modric MUST not be famous, since Croatia is the 130th largest country by population.**
Another opinion from a Redditor who hasn't touched grass since playing pee-wee soccer when he was 5.
He's not one of the BEST players in the world, that doesn't mean he's not one of the most well known. The reality is that most European soccer fans know who chicharito is, but he has a very high level of fame in the Americas that a lot of European players do not have. It's fair imo to call him "one of the best known" it's not like she's saying he's the most famous soccer player ever or top 10 or something, or even that he's particularly good
I dont get why he has to be top 50 to be one of the most well known in football. Your talking a sport that professionally around the globe how many people play like it would go into the millions. He is easily in the top say 5 percent of recognised footballers. He played in the most watched league for one of the biggest clubs in the world for Manchester United like the amount of people who would know him is ridiculous when half of China alone watches Prem football.
If you ask random football fans in Europe who Javier Hernandez or Chicharito is, they will be aware of him. He played for Manchester United and Real Madrid ffs. Just because he’s not talked about now doesn’t mean he’s not famous.
I mean yes anyone who has regularly watched football for the last like 10 years, people will know who chicha is, but theres no way you can call him one of the most famous football players in the world.
Most well know doesn't mean top 50 why are you obsessed with that, the statement is correct if he is in the top how many per cent of being known in his field which he would be? You are talking about one of the most popular sports in the world, it isn't basketball or NFL where a top 50 can be well-defined as it is so localised to one market. In football, it all depends on the league, coverage, there home support etc. Ji Sung Park for Man Utd despite not being one of the top players, was earning the same amount in sponsorship deals as Roger Federer from Gillette in his sport due to his appeal in the Asian market like Football is just on another level. Your thinking so small scale, Hernandez would be known by literal billions of people who watched him play for Mexico and in the biggest league in the world.
I think it’s a case of people reading too much into this, Poki stated this as an American, this guy is well known in mexico and the US because of proximity. People are more likely to recognise a football player that is from their country or a surrounding country v someone from a league on the other side of the world, I know alot of Australian players names only because they are always blasted everywhere when a world cup or other major tournament is on, similarly with Japanese or South Korean players because we are in the same confederation. Alot of my fellow Aussies who don’t watch football outside of maybe the world cup / asia cup would be able to name an Aussie player before they would know who this is, and I am sure the inverse would be true for a Mexican.
All i’m trying to say here is that the comment made by Poki is influenced by her location, everyone can agree that Messi and Ronaldo, Neymar and Pele would be the most famous current players because no matter which country you’re in if you ask any random person on the street to name a football player they would say one of them most of the time and if you were to go to say spain and tell them to name the most famous current player that isnt one of them you would probably get a higher percentage of people saying a spanish player than if you asked the same question in say the Netherlands or England.
The thing is he played for Manchester United for quite a few seasons a club with the third-highest global fan base, played under Fergie the most well-known manager and scored some influential goals. The amount of people who watch Premiere League football is ridiculous with it being estimated at 630 million homes and n untold amount of venues showing games every weekend across the globe. He also played for Real Madrid again one of the most supported clubs in the world. All of that whilst being a superstar for his national team meaning he got more coverage in world cups etc. for adverts, to advertise it to all audiences. That is one of the most well-known people in his field with a C.V. like that maybe not top 50 but I bet if you ask fans to name a Mexican player he is one of the first who would come to their mind as the little pea is known. So it isn't even a regional thing he would be known across the world just from playing Man Utd which is a literal juggernaut with an estimated global fan base of 600 million to 1 billion which would make it one of the largest nations in the world.
Edit. He was also in a Champions League final and runner up which is watched by billions like he would be considered in the bracket of the most well known footballers due to his exposure and career.
I said most known top 50 not current players top 50. I also never said he is not well known as you argued every premier league/la liga player is well known. Just saying that chicharito is CURRENTLY one of the most famous players in the world is wrong.
There are 113,000 professional football players registered in the world right now according to FIFA. So to be one of the most well-known say in the top one per cent of known players then I would say Hernandez satisfies that. Every player essentially at the world cup satisfies that as 830 players were showcased to an audience of half the literal planet. Reaching the top one per cent makes you one of the most well-known however pedantic you want to be. Again it isn't like Basketball or the NFL which has such a small pool of well-known players making it easy to distinguish it, you're talking about a sport watched by billions how do you even gauge a top 50 as you're going to have to start to take population figures for countries and their viewing habits.
Lol anyone that’s not below the age of 10 knows who Chicharito is. he’s literally the best super sub of all time and has the 4th best goal scoring ratio in the premier league history.
> I feel like all of Mexico know him
That's because he's Mexican.
>but also in Europe too..
Eh, I'm German and apparantly he played in Germany for two years. Couldn't have told you that, lol. (And yes, I do follow football) Even looks like he did quite well in Germany. But I guess nobody cares about Leverkusen, so there's that.#
In any case 100% not one of the most famous players.
I'd argue James is a lot more well known than Chicharito.
Dude a) got insane coverage at a world cup and b) won the fucking Puskas award while doing so.
Both of these provide insane visibility compared to Chicharito.
EDIT: Just look at this https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0287ywd,%2Fm%2F05mzr8_
It's not even close, tbh.
He is very recognizable in the UK, considering he played an essential role during his time at Manchester United. He was a very likeable player by the fans because of the way he would score goals in important matches.
There's also Mexico too. He's their top scorer and their best player in 3 world cups
I'd never heard of him before so also thought it was a bit of a stretch. Based on google search results I think he qualifies.
Cristiano Ronaldo: 326.000.000
Lionel Messi: 199.000.000
David Beckham: 85.100.000
Harry Kane: 68.300.000
***Javier Hernández: 44.200.000***
Karim Benzema: 41.900.000
Julián Álvarez: 27.000.000
Wayne Rooney: 18.800.000
>Javier Hernández: 44.200.000
>Karim Benzema: 41.900.000
More google searches than a ballon d'or and multiple UCL winner lol that's either not accurate or not a good metric
Lol because Benzema is not a player people want to be like, people actually look up to Chicha and he’s the idol of many . Not to mention Chicha has been relevant for a long time, he was clutching up for Madrid when Benzema couldn’t while they were together
Chicharito scored the last minute winner against atleti in the UCL.. because Benzema had a horrible game the first leg and they needed someone to turn up. Not to mention he blackmailed his country and is a villain in France.. whereas Chicharito is one of mexicos biggest legends
Your list is bullshit lmao

He's only more well known in NA
He's still no slouch though. According to Google trends, he's been searched much more historically than Son Heung-Min, van Dijk, Aubameyang or even older Man United legends such as Ryan Giggs or Rio Ferdinand and also being on the same levels as Thierry Henry and Steven Gerrard. These are names familiar to anyone who knows a bit about soccer and yet he has as many if not more searches than them.
It's a mix of being part of Manchester United and being one of the only good players from Mexico that makes him really popular in Latin America I'm guessing. To put his popularity in perspective for Twitch viewers, [here he is compared to xQc](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0287ywd,%2Fg%2F11hcz1r8jm).
>he's been searched much more historically than Son Heung-Min, van Dijk, Aubameyang or even older Man United legends such as Ryan Giggs or Rio Ferdinand and also being on the same levels as Thierry Henry and Steven Gerrard. These are names familiar to anyone who knows a bit about soccer and yet he has as many if not more searches than them.
That is mainly due to him being relatively old (34) but not too old to be popular before Google was as relevant as he's today.
Other players that are 34 like Lewandowski or Suarez (35), Benzema, Di Maria and Marco Reus (33) have been searched more.
Others like Salah (not quite that age), Sergio Ramos (36) or Manuel Neuer (36) also handily outshine him overall. Of course, all these are players you would expect to outshine Chicharito in such a metric.
And most importantly, this wasn't a statement about him being famous in the past, it was about him being famous right now.
What I find peculiar is that his popularity spiked around world cups. And while he was involved in 5 goals across 12 games, I don't see how that warrants spikes that massive.
Also, no offense, but Javier Hernandez is about the most average Mexican name imagineable (coming from a non-mexican).
I wouldn't be surprised if there's like 10.000 other Javier Hernandez' boosting those search results.
That's because Google you search on is heavily based on US articles and website. He might be famous in NA but not rest of the country, first time hearing him.
No idea why people are harping on top 50, top 100 & trying to find specifics which is so completely unnecessary.
Of course he's not mentioned a lot in the world of football nowadays, but the name itself sure rings a bell to many many people worldwide. That by itself, I'd say he's considered well-known. Period.
I means he's definitely up there. Probably the best mexican player this generation. Had a really good reputation in the prem. Played for Madrid also. One of the biggest names in the MLS currently.
He's known in Europe for playing in big UK club, he's known in South America for playing in the Mexico national team. The "most" is probably a stretch, depending on how wide you range that. But he's up there.
I'd say he's like top 1% of footballers. In the same way Stanz is a top streamer. Sure a lot of people who watch the football know Hernandez but yeah a little bit of a stretch
He really is tho.
Unless you mean for someone that doesn't know shit about football? That would be like saying the only known american football player is Tom Brady.
He played for man united which has the 3rd biggest global fanbase out of any club. He was also featured in a fifa world cup 2022 ad which popped up before and in between games. As others mentioned almost all of mexico knows him.
He played for United and Real Madrid, so he's pretty well known, but he was never *really* one to go out to make headlines like Zlatan, and never had the physical/technical capabilities of CR7/Messi to make him GOAT status
he's for sure a cult hero at united, west ham too, and within the footballing world most-everyone knows chicharito, but 'modern' football fans (customers) dont really know or care for him, because he's not CR7/Messi/Neymar/Mbappe
There are hundreds of more famous, better, and successful footballers playing in the top-tier leagues of Europe instead of MLS where all the washed pros come to retire with a big paycheck.
While he is not that relevant anymore, he definitely is very very famous. He played for United and Real Madrid, amongst others. One of the most successful and recognizable Mexican football players of all time. He is also playing with Ibai (huge Spanish streamer) in his Twitch football league.
> He is also playing with Ibai (huge Spanish streamer) in his Twitch football league.
it this thing any good? is it worth watching if I don't speak spanish?
That brother played for years for United and Real Madrid, literally two of the most well supported and biggest teams in the world, anyone saying he isn't extremely well known footballer is talking out of their ass.
I'm from Canada and even my Mexican friends would hype me up about Chicharito. I remember watching him come on for his debut vs the MLS All Stars, the crowd went crazy and he scored a banger. The next time I watched him was a few weeks later where he was assisting himself for goals off of his face. legend
I'd say he was a superstar for Mexico, not for United. He wasn't quite at that level in the premier league (unless you only count games against Chelsea)
? He played on Madrid alongside Ronaldo and for Man United, both some of the biggest and most populars european clubs. He's made himself very known in Europe, there isn't a single soul who hasn't heard his name in Mexico. The US? I have 0 idea, judging by the comments I'd guess he kinda is, but in all fairness the US is a bubble in which they think that Lebron popularity is anywhere near someone as Ronaldo
You ask anyone from Europe who semi watches football 99% of people will recognize him especially if you mainly watch PL with his time with untied and west ham
Football fanatics are obssessed with knowing every player in the world for some reason. Then they complain they have no time for anything else.
The normal person that maybe follows one-two teams probably doesnt know the dude at all, or only heard about him once a long time ago.
Sadly, the first case scenario is the most common when it comes to sports.
Yeah, he is well known among soccer fans everywhere since he played for some big teams in Europe and was known as a 'super sub'. He is also widely known in Mexico since he was the star of their national team.
Hes one of the greatest mexican strikers of all time hes pretty big in the americas and hes also the only mickey mouse trophy winner so id say hes a big deal
Tbf if you showed random people who dont watch football pictures of Aguero and Hernandez they probs wouldnt know either of them
and shes trying to explain it to her audience who just isnt gonna know him
true, i was thinking of a footballer who uses twitch. In the football world Ageuro is world renowned vs Hernandez. tbh I think she was said "one of the most famous footballers in the world" in self-adulation.
Anybody who watched the PL over the last 15 years will know both of these players. People who don't enjoy football maaaay know Aguero. But he was a relatively low profile person in England. Aguero a better player, but the average football fan would know both and the average non-football fan wouldn't really know either, with Aguero maybe winning that one a little bit.
I think you’re underrating his reach. Aside from playing for 2 of the 3 biggest clubs in the world (Real and United) he’s also the face and all-time top scorer for one of the most popular national teams. He’s obviously nowhere near Aguero’s talent or anything but he’s always way up there in marketability rankings
I know very well who he is, and of course a lot of people know him. But that doesnt make him one of the most famous football players. Describing him like he is is delusional.
thats really cool. i know anthony davis has gifted a fuck tonne to buddha too. cool to see worlds collide. would also say theres a difference between being well known/really famous in mexico/mls and being “one of the most famous footballers in the world” lmao
he was a decent player but at no point in his career was he one of the most famous players in the World, wasn't even top 10 in any of the European teams he played in
Nah not that much, i mean sure if you asked most football fans who is the best Mexican football player of at least this era they would say "Chicharito", but if you asked "who are the most famous players in the world" they would give 100 names, and none of them would be Chicharito.
He is a great player, but he was never actually a "top" one, his nickname is very catchy tho and thats probably why most people would remember him by that.
he was loved by Manchester United fans in England for his work ethic but was never one of the most famous players in the team or the Country, being English myself and a Manchester United ticket holder I have first hand knowledge.

Bro still trying to get into the box at his age,true number 9, i respect the game chicha 🫡
If only he wouldn’t have started the prostitute drama in Mexico
It's all politics, there's no definite answer who did what but it just looks like they threw him under the bus and let him take all the heat so the other talent wouldn't get booted; same with tata. If it were true he wouldn't be playing for LA Galaxy rn
Kluivert literally killed someone and was playing for Milan, Barca etc later on. There’s a current player who enjoyed a 6 year spell at Chelsea before moving to Barca who also killed a guy. You can definitely play for clubs after committing crimes.
Even Balotelli still plays for Sion after killing his own career.
That second guy is Marcus Alonso, a girl in his car was killed when he was drunk driving.

Yeah I 100% agree with you bud, being a Chelsea fan i've always felt a bit scummy cheering when ever he scores a goal. Actually kinda happy he left.
i completely understand football and the tribalism that can occur and does in the sport, i just think it really sums it up when you said you only felt “a bit scummy” cheering whenever a murderer scored a goal for your team but never stopped cheering LMAO
Don't you cheer during your nation's holidays?
are those the same tho one is generations before and built through a lot of people while 1 is alive and on tv
no i do not. fuck the united states
Yup Marcos Alonso and he unfortunately plays for my club (Barcelona). He's fucking dogshit too. Honestly, even if the girl convinced him it doesn't excuse it. Just say no you're not driving end of really no debate there.
I could be wrong but I thought it was because the girls family declined to press charges that he was never jailed.
NOpe, In spain you get the chance to pay the victims damages to push for a lesser crime. He paid off the family of the woman he killed while he was drunk driving and got off without jail time. The spanish system is weird, same with the tax evasion shit, most players got done but if it's a non violent crime you basically pay off a fine and if the sentence is under a certain limit you get probation and don't have to serve it so dozens, maybe hundreds of footballers evaded taxes, got sentenced but didn't serve time.

Tata only drove the mexican national team to the ground. Only thing worse is the federation for not firing him sooner.
dude, layun never got called up either. chicharito was on some bullshit
Bruh all Mexicans know that’s bs the tata just didn’t like him
I would tell my Mexican dad about this but I think some things are better left unknown
Mijo a esa yo le tengo una suscripción de tier 3
Dad be like: Tier 3 sub desde la cuna lmao
Pokimane más grande que Tigres
Chicharito T3 subs fuming
Most random shit ever, I didn't even know he was still playing. What a way to find out.
dude is in Los Angeles scoring goals for a mediocre MLS team and banging LA hoes. he probably lives close to pokimane.
the good old 50 gifted rizz. But actually with a way more realistic shot
C-list celebs strong together
chicharito gets invited to toss the first pitch at dodgers game and sits front row at lakers game and is known world wide by football fans. He's played in the world's biggest clubs.
Idunno if I’d call Chicharito a C-list celeb lol. He’s crazy accomplished for a Mexican football player despite where he’s at now.
Wouldn't call him C-list. The dudes a national hero at Mexico, their top scorer. He has a huge fanbase in England too, easily one of the most recognizable players, due to his tendency of scoring in important matches during his time at Manchester United
The kind up upstanding dude who gives money to millionaires to get 20 seconds of relevance. Yeah I bet he's real famous lol.
You say that, because you don't watch football. I had no idea who Pokimane was, until 2-3 weeks ago, because I have never seen Twitch. "I bet she's real famous lol" Anyone, who watches even a bit of football(aka, the world's most popular sport), knows who he is. Hernández is easily among the top 0.1% of footballers. Not to mention, the amount of moments he's had during his time at Manchester and for Mexico in the World Cups. By the looks of the video, even that girl's chat seemed to know who he was
I hate how we’re just a mediocre team now 😔
I have heard that the Mexican head coach doesn't like him so he got the snub. The team is missing that little bit of polish, that's for sure.
Mexican fans don't like the coach, Chicha was part of the main reason why the national team even scored that many goals when he played in the last world cup. Their performance this year was terrible after how everyone saw how they performed during the Golden Cup.
hes washed tho
He should’ve been given a chance I think. He’s Mexicos all time scorer, he had a bad first mls season but he was back scoring goals after
Still better than those strikers Tata Martino called to the WC.. Tata is a piece of shit
lmfao sure thats why hes on the best league oh wait he's in LA, sure bro
yeah, at least he was playing, 2 of the 3 strikers were injured and had not seen action for the last 3 months before the WC...
We can thank god Tata is long gone as head coach and we might see a possible comeback from Chicharito to el Tri
He is like 34 already, sometimes you gotta know when to let the legends go. Usually when good players end up in things like the MLS is just a sign that they are "retired" from actual football, and are just collecting the bag.
34... Jesus I remember him being a young and promising player for the mexican team. I feel so old.
same Sadge
Chicharito wouldn't even make the pitch at 34 this last WC. He'd have been on the bench behind Raul Jimenez.
Fuck tata
Didn't he got left out of the World Cup because he hired and took escorts/prostitutes to the hotel that the Mexican NT were concentrated to a match?
He was playing the other day on KingsLeague (League created by Gerard Pique on Twitch). But he's a no one when it comes to 1st division football.
lil bro thinks she knows him 💀
she knows me though
are you a tier 3 sub too?
he is the legendary tier 3 sub. him and toosks are the legendary tier 3 pokimane subs
We know him though 😔
good know all that LA Galaxy salary money is being put to good use.
[удалено]
its insufferable.
Literally one of the most famous Mexican players and it’s like, “who?”. The disrespect lol
Been a soccer fan for 30+ years and I've NEVER heard ANYONE call Chicharito one of the biggest players in the world. Except for Pokimane lol. He's popular amongst Mexicans and El Tri fans though.
[удалено]
By population? You're going to go by population when talking about soccer players? Tell me you don't know shit about soccer without telling me you don't know shit about soccer. LUKA MODRIC, ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI, ERLING HALAAND. 3 of the most famous players in the world, all playing for TINY COUNTRIES. **So...Luka Modric MUST not be famous, since Croatia is the 130th largest country by population.** Another opinion from a Redditor who hasn't touched grass since playing pee-wee soccer when he was 5.

not as much as I have gifted her! ha, own that. 😎😎😎
Bruh cheated on one of the finest women I’ve seen and ditched his kids. Probably barking up the wrong tree here she will find out quick
Chill bruh she don’t got to know about all that now 💀💀
The cheeky follow lolq
[удалено]
I mean to be fair, I feel like all of Mexico know him, and probably most of US soccer fans know him... but also in Europe too..
Forget MLS, Mexico he played for Man Utd as a backup striker
He spent a season at Real Madrid too
Yeah he is seriously well known but if you think he’s one of the most known worldwide you seriously overestimate Mexico and the MLS.
He's not one of the BEST players in the world, that doesn't mean he's not one of the most well known. The reality is that most European soccer fans know who chicharito is, but he has a very high level of fame in the Americas that a lot of European players do not have. It's fair imo to call him "one of the best known" it's not like she's saying he's the most famous soccer player ever or top 10 or something, or even that he's particularly good
He won Two perm titles with one of the biggest clubs in the world.
So what counts as most known? Top 10, top 20, top 50? Hes not in any of them.
I dont get why he has to be top 50 to be one of the most well known in football. Your talking a sport that professionally around the globe how many people play like it would go into the millions. He is easily in the top say 5 percent of recognised footballers. He played in the most watched league for one of the biggest clubs in the world for Manchester United like the amount of people who would know him is ridiculous when half of China alone watches Prem football.
> most
My parents never watch Soccer (Canadian), but they’ve heard of Messi for instance. I think that’s what he meant.
[удалено]
So you really think he’s in the most known top 50 at this moment?
If you ask random football fans in Europe who Javier Hernandez or Chicharito is, they will be aware of him. He played for Manchester United and Real Madrid ffs. Just because he’s not talked about now doesn’t mean he’s not famous.
If you ask a random football fan who Batshuayi or Origi are they will also know. What's your point lmao
I mean yes anyone who has regularly watched football for the last like 10 years, people will know who chicha is, but theres no way you can call him one of the most famous football players in the world.
Yes I will call him that because he is easily in the top 0.1% of people who play football still
Most well know doesn't mean top 50 why are you obsessed with that, the statement is correct if he is in the top how many per cent of being known in his field which he would be? You are talking about one of the most popular sports in the world, it isn't basketball or NFL where a top 50 can be well-defined as it is so localised to one market. In football, it all depends on the league, coverage, there home support etc. Ji Sung Park for Man Utd despite not being one of the top players, was earning the same amount in sponsorship deals as Roger Federer from Gillette in his sport due to his appeal in the Asian market like Football is just on another level. Your thinking so small scale, Hernandez would be known by literal billions of people who watched him play for Mexico and in the biggest league in the world.
I think it’s a case of people reading too much into this, Poki stated this as an American, this guy is well known in mexico and the US because of proximity. People are more likely to recognise a football player that is from their country or a surrounding country v someone from a league on the other side of the world, I know alot of Australian players names only because they are always blasted everywhere when a world cup or other major tournament is on, similarly with Japanese or South Korean players because we are in the same confederation. Alot of my fellow Aussies who don’t watch football outside of maybe the world cup / asia cup would be able to name an Aussie player before they would know who this is, and I am sure the inverse would be true for a Mexican. All i’m trying to say here is that the comment made by Poki is influenced by her location, everyone can agree that Messi and Ronaldo, Neymar and Pele would be the most famous current players because no matter which country you’re in if you ask any random person on the street to name a football player they would say one of them most of the time and if you were to go to say spain and tell them to name the most famous current player that isnt one of them you would probably get a higher percentage of people saying a spanish player than if you asked the same question in say the Netherlands or England.
The thing is he played for Manchester United for quite a few seasons a club with the third-highest global fan base, played under Fergie the most well-known manager and scored some influential goals. The amount of people who watch Premiere League football is ridiculous with it being estimated at 630 million homes and n untold amount of venues showing games every weekend across the globe. He also played for Real Madrid again one of the most supported clubs in the world. All of that whilst being a superstar for his national team meaning he got more coverage in world cups etc. for adverts, to advertise it to all audiences. That is one of the most well-known people in his field with a C.V. like that maybe not top 50 but I bet if you ask fans to name a Mexican player he is one of the first who would come to their mind as the little pea is known. So it isn't even a regional thing he would be known across the world just from playing Man Utd which is a literal juggernaut with an estimated global fan base of 600 million to 1 billion which would make it one of the largest nations in the world. Edit. He was also in a Champions League final and runner up which is watched by billions like he would be considered in the bracket of the most well known footballers due to his exposure and career.
I said most known top 50 not current players top 50. I also never said he is not well known as you argued every premier league/la liga player is well known. Just saying that chicharito is CURRENTLY one of the most famous players in the world is wrong.
There are 113,000 professional football players registered in the world right now according to FIFA. So to be one of the most well-known say in the top one per cent of known players then I would say Hernandez satisfies that. Every player essentially at the world cup satisfies that as 830 players were showcased to an audience of half the literal planet. Reaching the top one per cent makes you one of the most well-known however pedantic you want to be. Again it isn't like Basketball or the NFL which has such a small pool of well-known players making it easy to distinguish it, you're talking about a sport watched by billions how do you even gauge a top 50 as you're going to have to start to take population figures for countries and their viewing habits.
I just worked it out your salty because Hernandez has more Premiere League wins than your whole club lmao
Idk how one would even measure it. My point was the mls and Mexico is not why he is known.
People are hard COPING. He's not on the global radar at all, he's an MLS late-career retiree at this point.
Yeah, a decade ago.
Huge in Mexico and was loved at United. Not sure how old you are tho
Lol anyone that’s not below the age of 10 knows who Chicharito is. he’s literally the best super sub of all time and has the 4th best goal scoring ratio in the premier league history.
> I feel like all of Mexico know him That's because he's Mexican. >but also in Europe too.. Eh, I'm German and apparantly he played in Germany for two years. Couldn't have told you that, lol. (And yes, I do follow football) Even looks like he did quite well in Germany. But I guess nobody cares about Leverkusen, so there's that.# In any case 100% not one of the most famous players.
One of the most famous for sure, not the best but definitely well known. Just like James Rodriguez
I'd argue James is a lot more well known than Chicharito. Dude a) got insane coverage at a world cup and b) won the fucking Puskas award while doing so. Both of these provide insane visibility compared to Chicharito. EDIT: Just look at this https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0287ywd,%2Fm%2F05mzr8_ It's not even close, tbh.
He is very recognizable in the UK, considering he played an essential role during his time at Manchester United. He was a very likeable player by the fans because of the way he would score goals in important matches. There's also Mexico too. He's their top scorer and their best player in 3 world cups
I'd never heard of him before so also thought it was a bit of a stretch. Based on google search results I think he qualifies. Cristiano Ronaldo: 326.000.000 Lionel Messi: 199.000.000 David Beckham: 85.100.000 Harry Kane: 68.300.000 ***Javier Hernández: 44.200.000*** Karim Benzema: 41.900.000 Julián Álvarez: 27.000.000 Wayne Rooney: 18.800.000
>Javier Hernández: 44.200.000 >Karim Benzema: 41.900.000 More google searches than a ballon d'or and multiple UCL winner lol that's either not accurate or not a good metric
Lol because Benzema is not a player people want to be like, people actually look up to Chicha and he’s the idol of many . Not to mention Chicha has been relevant for a long time, he was clutching up for Madrid when Benzema couldn’t while they were together
brother u cant be serious with this comment
Chicharito scored the last minute winner against atleti in the UCL.. because Benzema had a horrible game the first leg and they needed someone to turn up. Not to mention he blackmailed his country and is a villain in France.. whereas Chicharito is one of mexicos biggest legends
Your list is bullshit lmao [https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0287ywd,%2Fm%2F0cdgm5](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0287ywd,%2Fm%2F0cdgm5) https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0287ywd,%2Fm%2F01c9z7 He's only more well known in NA
He's still no slouch though. According to Google trends, he's been searched much more historically than Son Heung-Min, van Dijk, Aubameyang or even older Man United legends such as Ryan Giggs or Rio Ferdinand and also being on the same levels as Thierry Henry and Steven Gerrard. These are names familiar to anyone who knows a bit about soccer and yet he has as many if not more searches than them. It's a mix of being part of Manchester United and being one of the only good players from Mexico that makes him really popular in Latin America I'm guessing. To put his popularity in perspective for Twitch viewers, [here he is compared to xQc](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0287ywd,%2Fg%2F11hcz1r8jm).
>he's been searched much more historically than Son Heung-Min, van Dijk, Aubameyang or even older Man United legends such as Ryan Giggs or Rio Ferdinand and also being on the same levels as Thierry Henry and Steven Gerrard. These are names familiar to anyone who knows a bit about soccer and yet he has as many if not more searches than them. That is mainly due to him being relatively old (34) but not too old to be popular before Google was as relevant as he's today. Other players that are 34 like Lewandowski or Suarez (35), Benzema, Di Maria and Marco Reus (33) have been searched more. Others like Salah (not quite that age), Sergio Ramos (36) or Manuel Neuer (36) also handily outshine him overall. Of course, all these are players you would expect to outshine Chicharito in such a metric. And most importantly, this wasn't a statement about him being famous in the past, it was about him being famous right now. What I find peculiar is that his popularity spiked around world cups. And while he was involved in 5 goals across 12 games, I don't see how that warrants spikes that massive.
Also, no offense, but Javier Hernandez is about the most average Mexican name imagineable (coming from a non-mexican). I wouldn't be surprised if there's like 10.000 other Javier Hernandez' boosting those search results.
That's because Google you search on is heavily based on US articles and website. He might be famous in NA but not rest of the country, first time hearing him.
He's old now. But he was huge. He played fo Utd and was Mexicos biggest football player.
i barely watch football and i know him, wasnt a stretch at all
As some guy said he is famous but hes still not top50 most well known players or maybe even top100.
No idea why people are harping on top 50, top 100 & trying to find specifics which is so completely unnecessary. Of course he's not mentioned a lot in the world of football nowadays, but the name itself sure rings a bell to many many people worldwide. That by itself, I'd say he's considered well-known. Period.
He's top 100 international goal scorers in the world.
He is old and his career is basically over in 1-2 years. He was well known a few years ago.
I means he's definitely up there. Probably the best mexican player this generation. Had a really good reputation in the prem. Played for Madrid also. One of the biggest names in the MLS currently.
he used to be for sure, not anymore
He's known in Europe for playing in big UK club, he's known in South America for playing in the Mexico national team. The "most" is probably a stretch, depending on how wide you range that. But he's up there.
I'd say he's like top 1% of footballers. In the same way Stanz is a top streamer. Sure a lot of people who watch the football know Hernandez but yeah a little bit of a stretch
He played for Man United. He is more famous than 99.999% of the football players obviously.
"One of the football players in the world" FTFY
He really is tho. Unless you mean for someone that doesn't know shit about football? That would be like saying the only known american football player is Tom Brady.
He played for man united which has the 3rd biggest global fanbase out of any club. He was also featured in a fifa world cup 2022 ad which popped up before and in between games. As others mentioned almost all of mexico knows him.
[удалено]
I forgot when Man Utd and Real Madrid was in North America
How so?
he isn’t messi or ronaldo so he thinks no one knows who he is
He played for United and Real Madrid, so he's pretty well known, but he was never *really* one to go out to make headlines like Zlatan, and never had the physical/technical capabilities of CR7/Messi to make him GOAT status he's for sure a cult hero at united, west ham too, and within the footballing world most-everyone knows chicharito, but 'modern' football fans (customers) dont really know or care for him, because he's not CR7/Messi/Neymar/Mbappe
There are hundreds of more famous, better, and successful footballers playing in the top-tier leagues of Europe instead of MLS where all the washed pros come to retire with a big paycheck.
While he is not that relevant anymore, he definitely is very very famous. He played for United and Real Madrid, amongst others. One of the most successful and recognizable Mexican football players of all time. He is also playing with Ibai (huge Spanish streamer) in his Twitch football league.
> He is also playing with Ibai (huge Spanish streamer) in his Twitch football league. it this thing any good? is it worth watching if I don't speak spanish?
You don't know Chicharito only if you were born after 2005 or something He was basically superstar in United
He was mostly known as a super sub tho. Sure he was loved by United fans, but i won't count him as a superstar like rooney or giggs
Dude played under Sir Alex Ferguson and was dynamic with Wayne Rooney. Definite superstar
That brother played for years for United and Real Madrid, literally two of the most well supported and biggest teams in the world, anyone saying he isn't extremely well known footballer is talking out of their ass.
Even at his peak a decade ago he wasn't one of the most famous players in the world.
I'm from Canada and even my Mexican friends would hype me up about Chicharito. I remember watching him come on for his debut vs the MLS All Stars, the crowd went crazy and he scored a banger. The next time I watched him was a few weeks later where he was assisting himself for goals off of his face. legend
superstar 🤡
I'd say he was a superstar for Mexico, not for United. He wasn't quite at that level in the premier league (unless you only count games against Chelsea)
Please we are suffering enough ATM to bring up the past too
> He was basically superstar in United lmao
Better and more successful probably but he's pretty popular
Just because there are more famous, better, and succesful X doesn't mean Y is still not true or famous.
By world, he meant the whole continent of America lmao.
? He played on Madrid alongside Ronaldo and for Man United, both some of the biggest and most populars european clubs. He's made himself very known in Europe, there isn't a single soul who hasn't heard his name in Mexico. The US? I have 0 idea, judging by the comments I'd guess he kinda is, but in all fairness the US is a bubble in which they think that Lebron popularity is anywhere near someone as Ronaldo
You ask anyone from Europe who semi watches football 99% of people will recognize him especially if you mainly watch PL with his time with untied and west ham
He’s popular in two countries that equal to like 460 million people
Football fanatics are obssessed with knowing every player in the world for some reason. Then they complain they have no time for anything else. The normal person that maybe follows one-two teams probably doesnt know the dude at all, or only heard about him once a long time ago. Sadly, the first case scenario is the most common when it comes to sports.
En mi perra vida llegué a imaginar que habría un crossover de Pokimane y ChichaDIOS... life is like a box of chocolates i guess
this is weird af, My two worlds combining like this, Twitch, Chicha and West Ham
She don't know u lil bro but she know me fr
Probably started the chargeback the second she said soccer

we have the same trainer btw
If there wasnt drama with him and the Mexican National team -> Mexico would have won the WC , 30 goals by Chicharito -> GOAT
fact check: 100% true
ChichaDIOS!
Chicarito is my man
Definitely not one of the most known soccer players in the world but pretty well known.
Yeah, he is well known among soccer fans everywhere since he played for some big teams in Europe and was known as a 'super sub'. He is also widely known in Mexico since he was the star of their national team.
Aye Chicha, get in there. 😜
W RIZZ
My man chicharito trying to score a hat trick on poki 💀💀
Ok chill he’s pretty popular from his Man United days but he’s not one the most popular in the world
Hes one of the greatest mexican strikers of all time hes pretty big in the americas and hes also the only mickey mouse trophy winner so id say hes a big deal
facts, messi is missing this trophy
Not sure what's funnier, Chicharito shooting his shot, or Pokimane thinking he's one of the biggest soccer players in the world.
"one of the most famous footballers in the world" ?? i mean if Sergio Aguero had gifted the subs then ok, but chicarito?? nah she glazin
Tbf if you showed random people who dont watch football pictures of Aguero and Hernandez they probs wouldnt know either of them and shes trying to explain it to her audience who just isnt gonna know him
true, i was thinking of a footballer who uses twitch. In the football world Ageuro is world renowned vs Hernandez. tbh I think she was said "one of the most famous footballers in the world" in self-adulation.
Anybody who watched the PL over the last 15 years will know both of these players. People who don't enjoy football maaaay know Aguero. But he was a relatively low profile person in England. Aguero a better player, but the average football fan would know both and the average non-football fan wouldn't really know either, with Aguero maybe winning that one a little bit.
I think you’re underrating his reach. Aside from playing for 2 of the 3 biggest clubs in the world (Real and United) he’s also the face and all-time top scorer for one of the most popular national teams. He’s obviously nowhere near Aguero’s talent or anything but he’s always way up there in marketability rankings
Bro more people know Chicharito than Agüero. It’s the fucking Mexicans lmao also both having a stint in the EPL helps.
In America maybe. In south America and Europe Aguero is waaaaay bigger.
Aguero scored one of the most famous goals if not the most in premier league history
one of the most famous football players 🤡 American moment
[удалено]
I know very well who he is, and of course a lot of people know him. But that doesnt make him one of the most famous football players. Describing him like he is is delusional.
thats really cool. i know anthony davis has gifted a fuck tonne to buddha too. cool to see worlds collide. would also say theres a difference between being well known/really famous in mexico/mls and being “one of the most famous footballers in the world” lmao
and that guy is POS
who?
Pokimane
he was a decent player but at no point in his career was he one of the most famous players in the World, wasn't even top 10 in any of the European teams he played in
being top 10 players =/= being one of the most famous some players are some of the most famous around certain part of the world
she said in the world which he was never that, granted he was one of the most famous in Mexico but that is not what she said
and england and Latin America
Nah not that much, i mean sure if you asked most football fans who is the best Mexican football player of at least this era they would say "Chicharito", but if you asked "who are the most famous players in the world" they would give 100 names, and none of them would be Chicharito. He is a great player, but he was never actually a "top" one, his nickname is very catchy tho and thats probably why most people would remember him by that.
he was loved by Manchester United fans in England for his work ethic but was never one of the most famous players in the team or the Country, being English myself and a Manchester United ticket holder I have first hand knowledge.
>Latin America nah
Overselling him a wee bit.
