Overhyped haha^^ Just retired legends ;-) Also i could not find Madeira samples. + I also wanted a few “real” South Americans. I don't think Messi has much indigenous ancestry, maybe 5% at most. He would cluster too closely with the other Med mixes. Thats why i favored Maradona over Messi. The idea was to give a relatively wide spread and also honor some of my favorite players.

Ceni emphasizes his German and Italian ancestry (50/50). However, I also assumed ~5% extra Portuguese and 1-2% Basque & Galician ancestry. The rest of my model is 50/50:

IT: Northern and North Eastern Italy
Ger: Mostly Palatine and Saarland, Tiny bits of Brandenburg (name "Mücke") and a little Swiss German.

btw: i added him because he is the favorite Player of a Brazillian friend^^ São Paulo Legend.

Makes sense. Scholes really was my favourite player too. Bergkamp the non-Flying Dutchman was all-class even though I disliked him at the time.

I knew you were a fake Andalusian you non-blonde bald swarthy imposter. You are a Catalan pretending to be an Andalusian.

Gallop can relax now that the truth has been revealed in this thread.

Thanks for explanation.

I might create some Turkish footballer coordinates, when I get to my PC.
