Do you realize how impossible this is?

 

[cubanref]

As an Mbappé fan living in Madrid I'm gonna have tone down my excitement if France wins. Especially while watching the game with my girl tonight

Damn she clowning me right now...been showing her Mbappé dictator memes all week and she just told me Yamal is your dictator now

 

[nomadicsole21]

Upamecano also stunk it up even with a healthy Saliba. Seemed like he was on an island everytime he was defending even though he wasn't

France really lost their individual battles and it snowballed with no urgency and scoreline. Spain didnt even dominate possession and bore us with 1000 passes which was shocking because they could of just easily did that when it was 1-0.

If you told me Spain was to only have 51% possession against France, I would of asked how much they lost by. Pretty incredible performance from them in retrospect especially after not being a prisoner in the moment from earlier.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

Mbappe is a great scorer. Far from trash but immensely overrated

bro scored 4 goals in the tournament and won the world cup at 19

WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUTTTTTTTTT

if he was on barca U WOULD NUTTT

 

[sfc415]

dudes prisoners of the moment

healthy saliba changes things

Before I get “LMAO your boy Mbappe trash compared to a 19 year old” comments:

I’m not a Barça fan like how I used to be when I was younger because of all the way the club has been run, but I still prefer them to win over Real Madrid.

That doesn’t mean I have to act like Mbappe and any player that just happen to play for RM are mediocre or trash. I love how he and Bellingham play especially for the national teams. I’m not from Spain and I’m not some Catalan nationalist that has to hate anyone not brought up in La Masia

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

Are we really going to go overboard and start calling Mbappe trash again? Some of you need to log off Twitter

From dictator to exile

Now he is back on the transfer market.
MLS here he comes

[AZwildcats]

Mbappe being overrated is just fan boy talk, no need to take it seriously

You're a better man than me because if I see Bruno Fernandes or Luke Shaw walking the streets I'm giving them stick and calling them dogwater.

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

What exactly did Lamine say prior to the match?

Mbappe is a great scorer. Far from trash but immensely overrated

i won't speak on his play in la liga, but on the international stage, his play has always been top tier. balled out in 2022 and was having himself a great (if not dominant) tournament prior to going ghost today. the connection he had with olise was the catalyst to france's run this year.

i needa see him hoist a champions league trophy before he decides to call it quits and transfers to the MLS

 

[jape]

He’s not the him the people think he is.
No one questions his talent or ability but that really doesn’t mean **** if you aren’t winning with the most talented squad in world football club and country.

Not to mention, the club you left becomes instantly better and wins 2 CL’s in a row after you’re gone and the club you go to becomes instantly worse after winning a CL. You also go trophyless for 2 seasons straight which is unheard of before for that club. Meanwhile you are the most expensive player with the highest wages.

What do we call that then?

You speaking to the right person because jape got all the receipts on Mbappe in La Liga


Can't stand him at Real Madrid either but man is a Ballon Dor, La Liga title and a Champions League(like you said)trophy away from completing football. He'll get his flowers in due time but now that his tenure with France is done this summer its back to the overrated until he does it in Spain wave.

 

[mastamind89]

I’ve criticized Deschamps a lot over the years. Was nice to see him change some of tactics this last time around. Winning the WC 2018 and being the runner up in 2022 are the highlights of his career for sure.

 

[mastamind89]

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Pogba and Kante would've been better than whoever france had in midfield.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Do the third place games game toward goal totals? Can Mbappe still outscore Messi and get the golden cleat and balloons Hors d'oeuvres

 

[jape]

Who is still giving this man money?

 

[elpablo21]

DripNick sorry fam. Even threw a few bucks on Spain. My jinx wasnt strong enough

 

[QU!K]

Can’t believe France lost

 

[gry60]

2. why does introducing an american audience to something always mean adding some unnecessary ****? might as well have the blue angels flying above during hydration breaks to bring in more casual viewers.

just chasing the almighty dollar.

And it’s not just FIFA scheming to get more Americans/middle easterners to spend on soccer “stuff.” La Liga almost debased itself last year by trying to play a cup final outside of Spain.

 

[fluid hips]

Just got home. Still can't believe France lost

Leaving Camavinga at home was always going to backfire

DD got the starting lineup wrong. Doue over Barcola

 

[TURBO UNO]

What exactly did Lamine say prior to the match?

Something about Spain not being afraid of France and that it was instead the other way around since they were always beating them, France should fear them.

 

[sfc415]

1. i thought this was ray romano

2. why does introducing an american audience to something always mean adding some unnecessary ****? might as well have the blue angels flying above during hydration breaks to bring in more casual viewers.

I don’t even know what the goal is. Does the type of person that tunes into the Super Bowl for commercials and half time shows really seem like the type of person who’s going to start flying across the world to watch matches? I doubt it

I only watch the Super Bowl if the Niners are in it because I can’t stand how long the game takes. A regular season NFL game is already long. I wouldn’t even mind the breaks in play that much if it meant more analysis instead of Liberty Mutual, Wegovy, or “THE THING ABOUT AMERICA IS WE CANT STOP BEING AMERICAN” Ram ads

 

[fluid hips]

They are talking footy during the MLB all star game. What a time
