Mbappe is so good. He’s so fast too. Would love to see a race between him and Tyreek

Agreed. I still don't understand how we don't have that type of a player coming out of the US in the last 30 years.. You'd think we would have by now

That's a good point by the commentator, France doesn't even have Benzema and they look this dominate...

Then again though, I have to continue to remind myself this is Australia, a bottom 5 team of the tournament.

When you’re always the best player on the field with inferior completion I’m an avid believe that when you get to these top tournaments against these top players, you’re just not ready. Sometimes mentally, sometimes physically, sometimes both.

The idea that he is always the best player on an MLS field simply is not close to being accurate.

I know that “MLS defending” has a historically been the punchline, but Zimmerman has apparently been named defender of the year in MLS several times recently… yet he makes such an egregious error in the biggest moment. Is the standard of defending still that low in MLS? Just a particularly bad mental error in a bad spot…?

If he’s going against prime Gareth Bale ok, understandable, but Bale is basically on a retirement tour at this point

I think it was one moment in an intense game.

One of the best? I mean it’s apples to oranges no?

Cameron Carter-Vickers

Yunus Musah = born in New York
Robinson = parent citizenship qualifies him
Dest has dual citizenship with both USA and Netherlands.
Cameron who?

England is worse tbh. It’s a weird way on how it all works. Someone else can probably go into more specifics

We aren't. The moron you are replying to is some sort of bot programmed to lie about England.

What exactly is weird about it? A player has to have a tie to the country he wants to represent and then he gets locked into that country after playing competitive matches for them. It's quite simple really and not confusing.

He thing we can all agree on is soccer players are such pussies and floppers it kind of ruins the game
