airmark: You said Owen won the golden boot in epl when it was mediocre, yet same year a team from that mediocre league beat your great team in ucl final. Don't you think you deserve a koboko on that your bald head?
raumdeuter: 1. There is no correlation between perceived competition in the league and CL performance. Juve has made 2 CL finals and All EPL teams have made 1 CL final in the same time,
2. Spending doesnt guarantee you instant success in the CL e.g City has a decade of spending no trophy, CHelsea went almostg a decade of spending to get 1 trophy
What Rashford will do is inconsequential because Mbappe doesnt only do in the league, he walks the talk in the CL and world cup
You're making an argument against David Ginola who is more French than you. That one is neither here not there.
The reason I mentioned that point, is simple. Whether rightly o, or wrongly o, there is a feeling within France itself that their league is wack.
In a climate, where most football fans argue in favour of their respective leagues, a French Pro coming put to declare his league wack tells me that I must disregard any exploits performed in such a hungry man league.
Telling me what Mbappe did in UCL is pointless.
Rashford played in UCL for the first time last season...and under a Manager YOU always tell us is incompetent at implementing attacking football.
Do you want to squeeze water out of stone now by comparing to Mbappe who has played in 2 seasons in UCl for very attacking teams?
Bring Mbappe to United and let us see.
But I can bet my last penny that Rashford in France will gobble up those quacks masquerading as footballers
raumdeuter: Psg, city man utd will be top 5-7 spenders in Europe over the past 5 years. It takes money to meet up to where others have been for decades
If Everton outspends Madrid for the next 4 years will they catch up with Madrid in 4 years?
If Everton buy Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani, Marquinos, Thiago Silva, Veratti, Di Maria, Draxler, Dani Elves, Guedes, etc today, I will immediately expect them to win UCL.
raumdeuter: Mbappe has scored 10 CL goals and 4 world cup goals that is vs the very top opponents not from French league.
All those posts about PSG flop blame in Europe are just lazy revisionism. Has Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea done significantly better than PSG in Europe in the past 5 seasons
Juve has made 2 finals from a weaker league.
How many teams from the stronger league in EPL has done better that Juve, Bayern or PSG
PSG simply ran into Madrid or Barcelona. the 2 teams that are better than everyone else. If like Liverpool last season they had to play Porto in second round instead of Madrid they will make the quarter final or beyond. If Liverpool had played Madrid too in the second round they will be knocked out where you get to depends on how you are able to avoid Madrid
Yes because Man City, Man Utd and co have spent more on transfers than PSG over the last 3 seasons.
PSG bought world's most expensive player. Bought world most expensive teenager. And before that have been cooking their books to under report transfer values, yet nothing to show for it.
Unlimited22: Truth is Rashford has regressed, what with him not having a particular position, and a lack of games. The boys confidence is now fragile sef.
How won't he regress?
He can see his boss asking the striker that was bought for 70m+ to play left back, and berating a concussed defender for failing to ignore his potential brain injury, and focus on his defending instead.
If goal scoring and attacking play is not enough to get a striker into the team, you think he's going to focus on those aspects in training?
raumdeuter: They have been looking for the one who made that comment, Mbappe and Rashford. KIKIKIKIKI
I dont even know how to respond
Take van Gaa era Rashford and put him in France and see what he does.
No be say dem shoot bird the mama fly. French league is full of hungry men.
To the point where even French internationals are blaming the quality of the league as one of the reasons why PSG continue to flop in Europe.
when domestic opposition is non-existent, and every match is contested at the same pace as a friendly game, what is there to keep PSG players sharp and on their toes?
If not for the Portuguese grim reaper, then for no born anybody well to mention Mbappe where Rashford dey.
raumdeuter: Mbappe was on the field at everytime, Owen wasnt good enough to make it onto the field. Maybe you can say Walcott plays like Owen, Not Mbappe. Mbappe can from a standing position dribble a defender, Owen will rather push the ball on the run to beat the defender.
Balon dor was the very inferior award in Owens time which Shevchenko, Nedved and those who couldnt make the WPOTY were consoled with
It will be the type of awards Ribery Zlatan, David Silva will be winning nowadays while the Messi Ronaldo Neymar vie for the WPOTY
I have posted Mbappe and Owens collection.
Their games are exactly the same. Kick and follow up with pace.
You guys and your overhype.
I've said it before that Mbappe isn't even better than Rashford. If not for an unfortunate encounter with the grim reaper of football talent, Rashford should rightfully be eclipsing Mbappe.
To me Mbappe is an Owen level striker for now. Definitely nowhere near Igwe, and comparisons to Fat Ronaldo ar just asinine.
Have a look at these videos and it's like watching the same player. Some of the Mbappe goals are so similar to Owen's sef, that it's like watching a replay
raumdeuter: Both Mbappe and Owen were not 9, they are support strikers. Owen was a dynamite because he can run, Thats where the comparison with Mbappe ends, Mbappe is more skillful and has more in his arsenal.
All these articles are just English journos trying to attache themselves to glory, Like Rooney was while Pele
Mbappe did not play support striker this world cup, he played right wing.
If we want to use your original logic, we could also say that Mbappe was not good enough to break up the striking partnership of Giroud and Griezman.
Mbappe plays very much like Owen of those days. It's pretty obvious to even the blind. It's not beans to win Balon Dor and finish in WPOTY top 10
raumdeuter: Owen didnt start because he wasnt convincing enough and showed he deserved to start over Teddy Sheringham. Unlike Mbappe whose starting shirt was never in doubt despite the dozens of attacking talents of France
Owen slander, I think the slander is comparing Owen to Mbape, Messi Ronaldo even as a teenager
raumdeuter: Probably because owen didn't show he was significantly better than Sheringham. With the hordes of France's attacking talent, Mbappe starting shirt was never in doubt. Owen in France currently will be like martial who didn't even make the tournament
The U.S. authorities are stalling on his visa. Something about an unsettled case with the Spanish government (tax shii). Me? I think it's cause that niqqa name Sanchez and Trump don't eff with y'all.
listening to Big rap about shifting her kidneys with his dïck on a beat that sounds like it was made for Justin Bieber does lead to some cognitive dissonance though...
Grundig: how come Laxalt isnt making anybody's team?
EXACTLY.
That guy dey play ball!
I just wanted to come and ask about the Uruguay left back with braids, then I googled the name.
That dude was a revelation.
I also feel that Pavard and Varane are the French defenders of the tourney.
To me, Pavard even takes Trippiers spot because Pavard was absolutely instrumental to the French Campaign, and faced quality opposition unlike Trippier.
phaamsaam: Your stupidity stinks to high heavens.... Keep hiding behind your keypad little thwart... Wouldn't engage you further
I was jamming on my own, engaging in Messi slander, when you quoted me out of the blue and proceeded to insult me unprovoked
When I paid you back in your coin, you started getting in your feelings like Drake.
I even bid you good day earlier today, and you still don't want to leave me alone.
What is the world coming to, when a man can't slander Messi in peace, without overzealous Barkabots randomly attacking like kamikaze mosquitoes, and then crying foul when they get swatted.
My brudda go suck your mommy's one remaining tïtty, and leave me the eff alone
phaamsaam: Never knew your stage of degeneration has gotten so severe, wasn't an advise, now an advise even if you are a toddler, next time never bring in parents into a discuss if you are discussing with toddlers like you or matured minds in a forum like this, your dad would never be half the dad mine was, is and would be.. Now run along and go look for your next meal
I'm sure your Dad's a great guy, which makes the story all the more tragic, that a waste of space like you is the one that bears his last name.
If only he could see the future, he would have tried to abort you immediately. in fact, I'm sure he's currently seeking legal advice to see if he can still legally abort you right now.
