that boy explosive

He's also technically gifted with an outstanding first touch and impressive ball control while running at full speed.

Speed + Skill = Mbappe

Just being fast is not enough. You also gotta be mad skilled.

Man they gave di Maria so much space on that goal

Unacceptable

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

Speed means nothing if you don't have a first touch or elite ball control. What makes Mbappe special is the fact he's so athletic yet also technically gifted. That is what separates the good players from the great.

Just being fast is useless. You also need to be skilled.

This guy gets it

France don't need a target man right now. They need a forward to get in between and behind Argentina's central defenders.

I expect to see Dembele on for Giroud at some point with Griezmann moving up to striker.

With so much black excellence on this France squad I might have to hop on the bandwagon

How are you not already on board?

My rules is to always root for whatever team has more black people. PERIOD.

What does Giroud do exactly??

Need to be skilled to play any of the major sports. I've never denied that. Coli soccer fans like to act like athleticism doesn't provide an advantage in soccer, when it clearly does.

Deschamps left Lacazette at home for Giroud

No one has won that world cup off athleticism

Bench Giroud, bring on Fekir.

France had Argentina on the ropes and made the mistake of allowing them back in the game.

I'm this close || to jumping on the 'Zidane to coach France' bandwagon.

 

[Jmare007]

Never doubt Argentinian luck brehs, that shyt is REALLY fukking hard to beat.

Getting real sick of watching France not kill games off at 1-0. Of course it bit them in the ass, as it does with nearly every team that goes up 1-0 early and just decides to sit on the lead.

Watch them lose the match on penalties or something extremely dumb like that.

Deschamps deserves to lose, he's had all this talent playing like a mid table team for YEARS now

Y’all hating on masche but he was a beast in 2014 wc



Argentina coach just asks too much of him that’s why he’s always making dangerous tackles



This is probably his last World Cup game ever. even if they pull off this comeback I think he’s out for the next game due to yellow card situation
