Jeff’s Pitch Picks: CALLED UP Season

When your name’s on the list, the world’s watching.

The CALLED UP Season celebrates the players who carry their country’s hopes, the ones who don’t just wear the badge… they own it.

Once again, the sideline shouter himself, Jeff Winton, steps up to pick the standouts who define this season’s pride, passion, and power. Here’s who caught Jeff’s eye this time 👇

Jeff’s Top 3 Picks

From cold-blooded finishers to fearless playmakers, these are the players who make international football feel massive!!

👑 Mythical: Erling Haaland 🇳🇴 Forward

“Call him up, call him unstoppable.” – Jeff

The man’s a machine. Haaland doesn’t just score, he erases goalkeepers. Pure strength, pure instinct, and pure fear for anyone in his path. Norway’s hammer of football leads the CALLED UP era with unstoppable force.

Legendary: Son Heung-Min 🇰🇷 Forward

“Eyes up. Feet like lightning. Smile like he knows he’s about to ruin your day.” – Jeff

South Korea’s captain brings calm chaos, pace, precision, and pure charisma. When Son’s on the ball, defenders move out the way!

Legendary: Scott McTominay Midfielder

“Not flash. Just fire.” – Jeff

The heartbeat of Scotland’s midfield and a nightmare for anyone who underestimates him. McTominay’s all grit and glory, breaking lines, breaking tackles, and occasionally breaking nets.

🖋️ What’s the CALLED UP Season All About?

This is football’s highest honor, the call to represent your country. From Haaland’s raw power to Son’s passion, CALLED UP celebrates international pride, loyalty, and legacy. No shortcuts. No second chances. Just pride on the line and pressure in your lungs.
