And he would have never been placed over Shaq in the all time player list. And thats not counting all the fck sht Shaq did. When you’re that good its more than just winning.


same reason Messi forced Guardiola to cleaned house. Only difference is that Barca and Guardiola protected Messi and took all the blame. :yeshrug:
Guardiola cleaned house and Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and them knew to play their role. Zlatan on the other hand didn't want to humble himself and got the boot.

You're talking like Mbappe is out there playing with bums. Messi is still Messi (and can't play number 9) and Neymar is one of the most talented players ever, he just caught the early onset Brazilian disease, but turned it on now for the World Cup. So like Henry said Mbappe needs to sacrifice a bit and for the team since he's their best option at that position.

imagine asking Kobe to be a spot up shooter so he can create space for the center and power forward? :heh: i def see where Mbappe is coming from lol

Messi and Neymar are comfortably better footballers than Mbappe so it makes sense asking the (relatively) weakest player of the trio in possession to be more selfless.

Haaland happy with 5 touches a game and 3 goals but Mbappe thinks he's prime Ronaldinho :dead:

Zlatan, EtO…. Messi wanted to play in the middle. So they Pep moved them.

Dont get me wrong breh, Mbappe is a quality player but nobody in their right mind is giving him playmaking duties ahead of Messi and Neymar.

Mbappe not wanting to be a #9 is very telling. Probably doesn’t want to do as much work off the ball and wants the positional freedom that comes with playing off the left as a wide forward.

Something tells me that team chemistry for France at the WC is gonna be so shyt :heh:

Just read up about Brazils history learning the game from the English and Corinthians Paulistas English heritage.
:wow:

Crazy how the English taught everyone this fire game and then got lapped by almost all of them :mjlol:

FA chiefs are looking into the incident with Arsenal defender Gabriel at the end of the Gunners' 3-2 win over Liverpool on Sunday, with the Brazilian defender claiming he heard something on the pitch which led to him confronting Henderson.

Referee Michael Oliver informed both managers of the allegation at the time, and after talking to both players the official has presented his report to the FA.

There are suggestions that lip readers could be used to determine just what was said, while players near the incident are also set to be interviewed.

Tensions are believed to have eased between both sets of players after the match, and it isn't yet clear if the FA will take the matter furthe

I hadn't heard of this Erling Haaland kid cause I pretty much only follow soccer for World Cup. Looked it up and the kid has scored 115 goals in 115 games since he turned 19 and joined the senior squad. That's fukking ridiculous.
