But we're talking about international play, right? Ronaldo is Portugal. France without Mbappe is still the most talented team in the world. KDB or Hazard on Belgium are more crucial to that team getting anywhere than Mbappe is for France. As for Messi, he's had good Argentina players around him, so I have no excuses for him.

They have also scored in the Champions league which is significantly higher quality than the World Cup. Klose has the World Cup record goals and he is not in anyone's top 20 strikers ever. Messi's 2015 and 2011 CL campaigns and Ronaldo's 2014 and 2017 in particular increased their rep. Modric, Mandzukic and Rakitic are the 3 players in that Croatia squad that play week in week out at the top level and compete in the CL. No one thinks the best NT can compete with the best club teams
But the only reason people say anything about Messi and Ronaldo being all-time great is because of what they do at their clubs. If I can use the same exact argument you are using right now against them, then how is your criticism valid against Mbappe?
All those trophies Messi won at Barcelona were with Spanish players that were winning the World Cup and Euros without him. I could dismiss all his domestic league accomplishments by saying Barcelona would have won without him cause they were the most talented club in the world for so many years. That's basically the same argument you are using right now against Mbappe.

He has a long way to go but he has started real well!
Ronaldo and Messi have been dominating for over a decade now. This french team is more stacked than any Portugal team Ronaldo has been with.

Like others have said he is 19, let him learn, grow and build his legacy. People love this knee-jerk shyt, the same people building him up are the same that will throw dirt on his name

Mbappe is the one. Soccer fans hype up the World Cup and he was the best player on the biggest stage. No turning back now
He has arrived. I might have to start watching. Soccer heads, what needs to happen so they can stack his club team like they do for these white boys?

He's the best soccer player I have seen. I'm not a soccer head, but I trust my eyes. I watched the alleged goats not be able to score in knockout rounds over and over and the whole world keeps making excuses for them.
They have a combined 0 goals in 13 knockout matches. Messi's team got to the final in '14 without him scoring a goal.
Mbappe is electric every time he touches the ball, something just looks different and I'm sticking with that. So the question is, what needs to happen to load up his club team like they do for those white boys people call goat.

This is the one thing you're wrong on. Its not the aesthetics, its the clutch gene. Mbappe will be double/triple teamed just like Messi and Ronaldo.... in the next WC he'll have games where it doesn't look like he's doing a damn thing. But he aint gonna miss PK's like Messi, or talk about quitting on his team
He doesn't seem like he has that pretty boy bytchmade demeanor
