Maybe

It's been over since he chose Pepe over Modric.

maybe mourinho is the problem?

Yes. He is. No need for me to explain. Everyone who has been watching long enough knows this

The real Ronaldo couldn’t even do it against France in 1998. Arguably at his peak.

He was poisoned

Yep - this is definitely the United Lukaku

This is what we have seen for a looooooong stretch at OT where if he's not being fed, then he is completely invisible

Check your PM dude

I don't know why people (not necessarily here, but in many places) are shocked that countries full of immigrants are doing so well. When you can not only produce your own talent, but take talent away from other countries, you excel. That's why the U.S. being so inept at the game is so crazy. You could probably field a team of just first-generation Americans that are the children of immigrants from this country and make a run at the World Cup if the system here wasn't so fukked up with things like warring youth soccer organizations and a prohibitive cost to playing organized league soccer (sorry, I'm talking about the U.S., so I'm using the "s" word).

But I digress. As someone born in the U.S., it's crazy how much of its athletic success is basically down to the institution of antebellum slavery. There are so many knock-on benefits to colonizing another place well into the future, even when we're in a post-colonial situation.

EDIT: Someone posted a picture of what the Moroccan and (I think) Democratic Republic of the Congo teams would look like without colonization, and both of those teams would be World Cup favorites easily. I need to find that picture; I couldn't quickly see it after a Google Image Search, but it really drove the point home.

the game sucked, hope france win it all but god damn if the finals once again end up 1-0 I just can't take this shyt anymore

A lot of those cats just started watching the world cup 2 weeks ago. Anyone who keeps up with league football knows Mbappe is the real deal.

that €180m transfer fee at 18 marked him as a generational talent.

But the only final out of them he won (europa league) was with Mou as manager

WC yet to come . . . .
