Leandro Trossard is 5'8, 145 pounds soaking wet and just cooked Sergino Dest, who, on paper, would be touted as a better "athlete".
Youri Tielemans is 5'9 and may run a slower 40 than most P4 offensive linemen and controlled the entire match.
Tired trope is tired.
Christian Pulisic is a prime example of the United States not having its best athletes playing soccer
There’s just no way there aren’t guys in the NBA & NFL who wouldn’t be better than him if they would’ve started playing soccer at a young age
He’s a wimpy small athlete
Imagine being Gonçalo Ramos. A man in his physical prime. You score the winner against Croatia with a ridiculous header. And your reward is 0 minutes in the next game. Actually quite unbelievable.
🇧🇪🗣️ | Thibaut Courtois :
« (sur tout ce qui s’est passé autour de Folarin Balogun) J’ai lu des choses et j’ai ri. J'étais plus sûr de gagner contre les USA que contre le Sénégal, parce que le Sénégal est une meilleure équipe de football que les États-Unis. »

A word on the Mexicans too. I’ve only seen people be friendly and welcoming. On my way out I saw England fans at a bar singing Hey Jude with Mexico fans. This is a wonderful city with wonderful people. If you ever get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate.
Final point on Balogun.
Infantino's position is now verging on untenable over all that has gone on at the World Cup.
No way Mark Bullingham & the English FA can support his re-election, as representatives of the game and it's fans in England.
