Feels like that lockerroom should have a stronger voice than a 24yo...

Not really sure what age has to do with it. Especially with someone who has the experience Mbappe does.

Even then Varane had a speech during the game against Morocco. So it seems there’s multiple guys capable of being leaders.

People who jump into fountains or climb some highly charged electric poles or do some other similar stuff because they are so happy are just morons. Darwin award-candidates.

Im sure Emi is losing sleep conceding two penalties.... his two braincells are quite occupied.

He probably burned one of them celebrating

He has more NT trophies than brain cells... Im sure he wouldnt mind

—Somebody else mentioned it somewhere today, and my apologies for not remembering who or being arsed to find it, but the whole business of Messi getting the trophy and then getting to his teammates was ridiculous from Infantino not giving him the trophy to having to wear whatever was put on him.

He was wearing a Bisht - which is a gown worn by the elite, royals, and rich of the Arab world.

Definitely a last ditch sport-washing effort from Qatar. They are forever linked to Messi and Argentina's triumph.

That's why they signed him to PSG to begin with.

Him or Mbappé winning, they were happy.

So what was the point of Martinez doing this?

He's a classless douche who is way too preoccupied with a 24 year old kid who is infinitely more talented and successful than he will ever be.

Yup, more NT trophies than brain cells .. cry more.

Meh, I'm not too worried about it, but thanks for the concern. France has been to 4 WCFs in my lifetime and won 2 of them, and our best player just turned 24.

Mbappé lives rent free in that clown's head, there's not much else to say about it. You wouldn't see Lloris conduct himself like this, that's for sure.

Ya I’m sure he’s losing sleep knowing Mpabbe scored a couple of penalties lol…

He would first need to save a penalty

Classless is definitely the right word. Glad he isn't with Arsenal anymore

We all are

I mean it’s not like he did black face. He’s drunk out of his mind. Having fun, y’all must be great at parties offended over eveything lol

Nothing said after the Germans in 2014 were mocking with gaucho stereotypes. Mbappe throwing rhe ball away from.opponenrs or knocking them over. Mbappe had been great. Great at uniting CONMEBOL and providing motivation to La Seleccion.

I guess he was too busy worrying about Benzema.

When you consider that Argentina has been through very tough economic times and that has lasted for years now you kind of prefer them winning the WC and give some pleasure in life for their people especially as in Argentina football is a much bigger deal than in France.

Argentina is a good warning to today's rich countries that being a rich country may not be an everlasting thing. Argentina used to be one of the richest countries in the world but it has collapsed.

Bad politics leads to economic downturn.

Just go to YouTube and see some of the fan reaction videos from Argentina. Plenty of grown men crying.

Yeah but winning the World Cup doesn't really do much in this regard. After a week you start forgetting and then you're still where you were before the World Cup. It's just a sporting event, and fans - including myself - invest way too much into it emotionally. Looking back at the 3 major trophies we won in my lifetime, I don't think any of them made a difference in my life or society.

Dont think anyone expects sports to wash away their problems or provide them a better life lol... what its for is to provide a brief moment of happiness and ideally make you forget about the troubles of life for 90 minutes. No different that watching a film, playing a video game or spending time with loved ones.
