People began to hype him like the second coming of Xavi Hernandez just because PSG were winning.

Anybody with average football knowledge could easily have seen what you described about him and not give in to the hype.

He is just a normal midfielder lucky to be coached by a genius like Luis Enrique.

He had 100% pass accuracy yesterday


All of which were sideways passes

The was a Chance Ronaldo had all the space in the world
He passed to Mendes beside him

Very unadventurous midfielder

Sportsweb:
Ladies and gentlemen, Chelsea starting WINGER

Airmarks winger

Unlimited22:
Na America settle fifa o

A draw was the only result that would have knocked Iran out

Exactly

They also ruled out a clean goal from Iran the other day

FBS:
FIFA allowing some physicality and play to go on....all those rolling on the floor at the slightest of touches or none at all is getting outlawed?

I love it and it has been consistent in this tournament

Once you somersault finish you go stand up and join them back on the field

Sportsweb:
They told me Vitinha was the best Midfielder

He's not as good as they hype hin

Love to recycle possession and dictate play

Not adventurous and cannot drop through balls


He's just an ok midfielder

BlueMann:
Lol

If they meet tomorrow, I will lean slightly towards Colombia

It has been a while since Argentina beat them in regulation time. They gave Messi and co. hell in the last Copa final, and they won one and drew one of their last two WC qualifying games against them. Those guys are very dangerous, they will be a massive problem for any team in the world.

I just checked their head to head
In their last 7 meeting Argentina have won them once in regulation time


I thought Argentina dey beat them steady oo

Bluelines69:
This Colombia fit give anybody run, they’re on this Argentina bracket, they can even beat Argentina and as for Portugal they done go hook for France side o

Goodbye to them it wasn't meant to be

Colombia cannot beat any Argentina

People wey dey steady chop belt for copa America

Roland17:
P. Neto sef

That one no fit good for him life

I'm surprised Portugal can't produce a better attacking talent


But solid defense, Diaz and veiga working out very well

Portugal are really solid defensively


The veiga guy is a tank

Unlimited22:
These Portuguése players are actually idiots

What is all of this overplaying and flicks

Flicks and tricks
Zero midfield form both teams

No Portugal attacker is making rus

Colombia just want to shoot the ball

Real Madrid players are Actually good (asides thier shitty defenders) individually, very good In comparison to Barcelona players

But you then wonder how they've gone trophlyless two seasons in a row

Hansi flick is actually a beast of a coach

swiz123:
I wouldn’t be surprised. Ibime is very dull.

This is a very disrespectful thing to say sha.

Kilishihunter:
Two very low quality games of football. I'm highly disappointed in la roja. Yamal and pedri with poor performances. Only cubarsi was solid

This is the worst group at the current world cup fr

patrickmuf:
I don't understand the refs in this world cup. That guy should have been sent off since or least received a yellow card.

The refs in this cup hardly blow the whistle for soft foul


You'll see players falling over and they'll completely ignore it 😂

Unlimited22:
Look at this animal Ferran


Barca fans how una dey cope abeg

We get delap and you dey ask this kind question😂😂

Na same way we dey cope na

African countries really did well in this world cup

Aside Tunisia that embarrassed themselves

[quote author=andrewbaba44 post=139834352]Anderson isn’t a better player than rice ,please be serious

Anderson isn’t even better than zubimendi [/quote
I dislike this thing y'all do when a club spends heavily on a player

Every big club has overpayed for a player at some point

Trevor012:
Uruguay wins today and it's Spain vs Argentina in the round of 32.

It's is needed please

Godx:
It's 116 please.

Yes I've seen it now

Fabrizio quoted 130

But edited it as soon as orstein confirmed it's 116

Illimitable:
He’s more than worth the amount. We have seen him outplay £105m Declan Rice at the World Cup. He’s young, versatile with an incredible high ceiling.

Jason Wilcox & Omar Berrada not even bidding for him is a sham after telling everyone he’s United’s main priority for 9 months.

United won’t win anything for another 5 years.

But you recently spent on Nico g and reindeers there's still rodri

So one of them would definitely have to be on the bench

Kimbeast:
The reputations of many past players have aged gracefully largely because their flaws were never subjected to todays level of exposure. They didn't play in this era of intense social media scrutiny. Now every single game is analyzed to the bare minimum, every misplaced pass, failed dribble, missed chance, and poor performance is clipped, posted, and debated across social media by even amateur viewers like us. Even Messi and Ronaldo were not spared.


With past players, most people remember the highlights, the iconic moments, and the occasional big matches they watched. The countless average performances and bad games are forgotten.

Modern players are also expected to do far more than their predecessors. Strikers are no longer judged solely on goals. They are expected to press from the front, drop deep to link play, create chances, and contribute defensively. Mbappe is coming off a 42 goal In 44 game season yet he's still being labelled a problem at Madrid because he doesn't press enough.

Thank you for this

Mancity have gotten their 130m man


Make any club interested in Enzo prepare thier fee sha

Bluelines69:
Shey these ones done win WC? This celebration no too much

They were on the verge of going home.

And it's their first win in this tourney against a huge nation like Germany

Y'all really don't understand the importance of the world cup

Maybe na cos una country no qualify sha

Ecuador

Ihebu4chelsea:
Lacroix is solid shaaa, Fofana should look for a new team.

Another french cb
Not interested

Lana1:
We all hoped South Africa would get booted out. But they get to finish 2nd. Those that thought they didn't deserve to be there can bite their tongue.

If you want to be at the world cup then qualify for it. Nothing like "they for allow us" or "that team don't deserve to be here"

You're are minding Nigerians

About 5 African teams will qualify to the next stage


But "dem for allow us qualify"😂

Make dem dey play nonsense dey go

[quote author=Illimitable post=139820897]Which of these players was 20 years of age?

At 20, CR7 scored 9 goals in 50 apps
At 20, LM10 scored 16 goals in 40 apps

Your best players in this era couldn’t clean R9’s boots at 20. [/quote
Neymar scored 43 sha
Mbappe scored 39

Nemesis0147:
these arguments are funny
Mbappe and his people are getting these stats now because the game has gone soft and na fraudsters Dey play ball now.

You can’t compare the kind of defenders,,goal keepers we have then to these yahoo boys…

Football then was war!!
It was a do or die affair….not what they are playing now
Most of these new players will be going on injury every week if the game intensity was the same

Na so

Even some the goal keepers and defenders of those days were mid

Players were spamming goals from outside the box

Defenders would afford attackers space to dribble you 100 times


Only few we rugged and it's was mostly unnecessary and dangerous tackles that the players gets sent off or carded for

Capaldi:
I am convinced that if you asked guys on the street who the better player was between Vardy and Adriano , 95% would pick Adriano due to that nostalgia. A player that should be compared to Igor Thiago.

Omo you don dey carry agenda pass wetin I start o

Ah 😂

BlueRayDick:
lolz

You must really love Mbappe gan o ; for you to have rated him like this.

You should also not forget that some of the hire killers disguising as defenders may have ended his career early if he had played in those era dem Henry and co played. At least we saw what injury did to Ronaldo De Lima's career

I understand football has gone soft

Kylian mbappe has delivered for his country on the biggest stage

Twice for that matter

Champions league and balondor are the things keeping him from certain conversations

But currently he >>> drogba and Henry

Once he retires he would have surpassed R9 properly

Capaldi:
Don't let anyone gaslight you into retracting this statement. Some of those past legends are very very overrated. Nostalgia won't make people accept it. You just have to watch past games on YouTube to see it.

See how I'm not indulging it

Mbappe > henry, drogba and R9
Vini > Ronaldinho
The rest is debatable

Aside Ronaldo and Messi they are all timer



We go need discuss some the this fraudulent legends (r9,Henry,drogba,cyruff, Ronaldinho and co)

Once this world cup finish they explain what they have over mbappe,haaland,vini and the likes
