Messi the goat but this team is coddled by refs
This win was stolen from Egypt I have never seen a game this cheated in my life and and I have been watching soccer for weeks now
I need France to win that World Cup so bad
Because The amount of racism Mbappe and the French national team receive every World Cup from parts of the South American football community fans, players, and journalists is genuinely disgusting. This isn’t football anymore
Hispanics really be so full of shit when it comes to race “I didn’t say anything about your skin color i just called you a filthy monkey that drinks coconuts thats not racist”
Cape Verde, a nation of 500k people, went to the World Cup, drew against Spain and took Argentina down to the wire with a 40 year old goalkeeper having some of the best performances of anyone in the tournament
That’s why the World Cup is the greatest sporting event, respect 🇨🇻❤️
🚨New: Mbappe after France 3:0 win against Sweden reacts to Lamine Yamal’s comments, “France have not beaten us in 2 years, so they can’t be considered better than us”
🗣️ “Kylian Mbappé: First, I respect Lamine Yamal. He’s an incredible talent, and what he’s doing at his age is special. But football has a funny way of humbling people when they start counting yesterday’s results before tomorrow’s match is played.
People keep talking about two years. Two years? Football history isn’t written in two years. If that is your strongest argument, then maybe you’re looking in the rear-view mirror because you’re not completely comfortable with what’s ahead.
The difference between good teams and great teams is mentality. Great teams don’t walk into a semifinal thinking about who won a Nations League game or who won a friendly. They walk in believing they can beat anyone when the pressure is highest.
Spain have talent. France have talent. But I find it interesting when players start acting like results from the past automatically guarantee results in the future. That’s not confidence. Sometimes that’s arrogance wearing a confidence mask.
The World Cup doesn’t care about your unbeaten streaks. It doesn’t care about social media narratives. It only asks one question: who delivers when everything is on the line?
If Spain reach us in the semifinals, good. Then we don’t need microphones or headlines. We can settle it where football has always settled these debates — on the pitch.
And if they’re really convinced France aren’t better, they should be excited to prove it. Because from our side, nobody is losing sleep over what happened two years ago. We’re focused on what happens in ninety minutes”
