Claude Makélélé is widely regarded as the most influential defensive midfielder of all time. In fact, he was so good that he had a role named after him. The defensive midfield position is sometimes referred to as the "Makélélé Role". The role embodies a defensive midfielder who is superb at winning the ball, has great tackling ability and a good engine. Makelele was part of the France 2006 World Cup squad that only conceded 3 goals in 7 games on their way to finishing runners-up in Germany. In recent times, only Ngolo Kante has come close to replicating what Makelele could do on a football pitch, showing how rare and difficult such players come along. Our World Cup API provides both a Match Events and Disciplinary API for your users to track the aggressive side of the game like bookings and tackles made

Brazilian star Neymar is a major doubt for the 2024 Copa America as he continues with his recovery. A spokesman for the Brazil national team has revealed that "Neymar will not participate in the Copa America. This is something that has become certain, as his recovery will not be completed by that time. We might expect him to return for the World Cup qualifiers next September, I think he may be ready by then." Neymar is currently in the third stage of recovery from an ACL injury he suffered in October 2023. Brazil Head Coach Dorival Junior will now have to plan his squad knowing that Neymar is unlikely to be fit by June 2024 when the competition starts. Our Copa America API is able to capture injuries on the pitch. Whenever a player goes down and is unable to continue with the match, our match commentary endpoint shows an injury icon which informs users that an injury has occurred on the pitch.

Gareth Southgate faces a difficult decision on which striker to include in his 23-man squad for Euro 2024. Typically, coaches pick 2 to 3 out-and-out strikers for their final squad and Southgate has a vast pool of strikers to pick from. It is anyone's guess as to who will make the trip to Germany. Harry Kane (Captain), Ivan Toney, Callum Wilson, Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke are all in with a chance to be part of the squad. If fit Harry Kane is the most likely striker to be picked for the competition which leaves 2 free spots between 4 equally good strikers. Eddie Nketiah and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have a slim chance to make the final squad. Regardless of who gets picked to represent the three lions our Euro 2024 API will provide a full team list for all 24 teams playing in Euro 2024.
