Classify Portuguese Footballer André Gomes

[JMack]

There's another thread on him, but with cherrypicked very dark pics what distorted the classifications.

I'm opening this one with more representative pics.

Between Gracile and Atlanto-Mediterranid, textbook example of a classical Portuguese Mediterranid type.
He is metrically perfect.

East Med imo.

East Med imo.

He doesn't look ''eastern'' to me tbh. Quite the contrary, he looks very ''western''. He's just not an Atlantid, but he's a Western Mediterranean type.

trans-mediterranid?

We disagree about his, I think he is common among the Eastern Mediterranean europid types and not so common among western meds in Portugal.

trans-mediterranid?

A gracilized Atlanto-Mediterranid. I don't use that Trans-Mediterranid nomenclature that includes the whole of coastal North Africa as if anyone like André Gomes was common enough on the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

So you complain about cherrypicked pictures... and you post this one??


I have seen this player several years playing here in Spain and he is really dark and exotic (and a quite bad player, by the way).

André Gomes is not exotic.

This is exotic:

Raul González, former Spanish football player and Real Madrid star:



They don't look alike, thank God.

That Raúl is a pure Saharid.

André Gomes is imo East-Med and is not common among Portuguese west meds but he is surely less exotic and more europid looking that most of those Catalan players of the Liceo de Coruña team that I posted (who had fully Catalan names)...or Busquets, or Ricky Rubio.
