What a fall from grace. this guy was touted as the next Yaya Toure (they always make these comparisons based on physical look rather than attribute) after he balled out at Monaco. THe problem with Bakayoko is that his skill set is that of a defensive midfielder which includes gaining back possessions or winning the ball back why is he not doing it

Vincent Kompany's father becomes Belgium's first black mayor
Pierre Kompany has made history, his famous son says
Belgium has elected a black mayor for the first time - the father of international football star Vincent Kompany.
Pierre Kompany topped the poll for the municipality of Ganshoren in Brussels, earning him the title of mayor.
Mr Kompany arrived in Belgium in 1975 as a refugee from what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He became active in politics in 2006 as a councillor, and took a seat in the Brussels regional parliament in 2014.
But he is perhaps best known for his famous sons. Vincent Kompany is both the captain of English Premier League club Manchester City and a constant fixture on the Belgium national team.
Vincent's brother, Francois, plays for Belgian side KSV Roeselare.
Both brothers were quick to congratulate their father in an Instagram post shared with Vincent's 1.6 million followers.
"History! We are so proud of you dad," he wrote.
"He's the first black mayor in Belgium - it's never happened before, it's historic.... congratulations to my dad!" Vincent said.
On his Instagram post, Vincent added: "It was long overdue but it's progress. Massive congrats!"
It's not the first time the football star has spoken about the need for progress in Belgian politics.
Two days earlier, he tweeted an image of the Belgian parliament, noting "very little multiculturalism" on display.
"That also reflects non-existent diversity at all levels of power in Belgium," he said.
Other mayoral candidates with mixed heritage have begun to enter politics in Belgium in recent years. Emir Kir, the son of Turkish immigrants, and was elected mayor of Saint-Josse in 2012; and Nadia Sminate, whose father was from Morocco, was elected the leader of Londerzeel in 2016.

@THEREALBRAND wats the deal with Bolsonaro? I hear he's 10x worse then Trump and some of these Brazilian Players are publicly backing him, Read that Barcelona is cutting ties with Ronaldinho like they did Rivaldo for backing him up 
He’s a lot more open about his beliefs. Trump uses dog whistles, while Bolsonaro just bluntly says what he really feels about certain groups. Trump would never come out and openly talk about his contempt for the gays like Bolsonaro did@THEREALBRAND wats the deal with Bolsonaro?

I get why people support him. I don’t want to turn this thread into a political discourse, but the political left has been tarnished by corruption and scandal. So anybody that’s the polar opposite of that looks good in comparison. You would think that people would be wary of someone with such extreme beliefs and that has openly praised the former military dictatorship, but he says stuff that the average person wants to hear. People want law and order, and they want bad things to happen to criminals.

This actually explains quite a lot about Kompany.
Ighalo at it again
The goal was offside though
Yea, where was this goal against Argentina. Dude deserves the bench plain and simple.
I have no idea why Rohr didn't start with Iwobi against Argentina
