Futbol FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Thread v4: Countdown to the Final Edition

[DS7]

Mbappe can be on his way to have 2 World Cups at 23 years old and was widely important in both. Griezmann has been amazing but Mbappé has been the best french player in this one. He will also most likely destroy nearly all World Cup individual records. That's huge.

He would still need to improve a few other things as a player but it's silly to not consider that he could have potential to one day have somewhat of a case. Altough i think it will be impossible to achieve what Ronaldo and Messi did.

The best player in the world is the guy that is right now, the Champions League, Ligue 1 and World Cup top scorer.


Also the guy that scored 40 goals last season and assisted other 20 while Messi was "adapting" or something. If we gonna say X is the best player in the world because of a 3 month period or something that he's more in form then this is meaningless and i guess Salah was the best in the world early last season.

Agree with first paragraph.

Second, I think is addressed to someone else. Fuck Salah Just having my tuppence in on Messi v Ronaldo, no big statement on whatever else you’re referring to but happy to address.

Genuinely think you have some decent banter, but uttering this bollocks is silly. Mbappe isn't even overhyped Thierry Henry, nowhere near Messi who is well clear of CR7.

I will allow and excuse this horrendous opinion because i think you have seen a lot as a Spurs fan and that cloudes your judgement.

I remember watching Uruguay v Egypt(2018) in a pub(very nice pub) in Dublin. Lot of Egyptians in there who wanted Egypt to win. Uruguay scored goal the last minute. I started jumping up and down like a lunatic and everyone there looked like they wanted to jump me. I was like "lets fucking go".

A magical memory.

At least I learned something new today, I had no idea Brazil had imported around 5 million slaves from Africa .
It's the reason they are darker skinned today than the Argies who didn't have much of a slave trade.

Thats more than 10 times what the U.S. did, how come they never come in for any criticism for that from the woke mob?

They have actually for centuries. Brazilians were the last ones to abolish slavery and only did so under intense international pressure.

Also Portugal deserves a lot of that blame because Brazil only gains independence late in the game.

Pretty impressive with what Portugal produces with a 50 ranked GDP.

You should watch an Italian film called Bread and Chocolate, with Nino Manfredi. There is a similar scene in that movie.

Go to 1:35

OOOH!!

"The Italians will win this game 7 to 0"

Imagine if a German made a similar declaration in a Brazilian pub in 2014?

Brazil has the largest population of people of Sub Saharan descent outside Sub-Saharan Africa.

Argentina did have sizeable number of Black people but no one is really sure what happened to them. There are claims they were killed in war, ethnically cleansed, the women had kids with White men to escape racism and Argentine leaders had a deliberate policy to Whiten up the population. Brazil also had a deliberate policy of race mixing to Whiten up the population.

Here are some articles on Argentina's historical Black population and how they were erased from history.

Heard suggestions he may have had a bit of a mental breakdown.

Went from the golden boy to an after-thought in one year.

Putting the human-side aside for a moment, guy just doesn't seem suited to United's style. 75m, and 18 months later he's probably not even first option from the bench.

350k p/w for another 4 years!
