*Again* with the Mbappé hyperbole.

[Sir C]

Yes, he's monstrously quick and clearly he's highly talented but why does everyone keep losing their shít about him being the best in the world?

And why did the 'keeper jump out of the way of his rather weak shot?

Are you doing that thing David Hepworth identified about The Guardian Football Weekly of going 'You know that thing you love? It's sh1t."?

Eh? What's that now? Are you asking if I'm being contrarian? I'm really not - it's clear that he's an exciting young player. BUT HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO BE CONSIDERED THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!

[Burney]

BUT HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO BE CONSIDERED THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!

Well he's won the World Cup at age 19. That's a start, I'd say.

[Sir C]

That suggests that he plays in the best team in the world.

By that measure, Olivier Giroud could be touted as the wrold's finestr footballer.

You're not being contrarian, but you are in danger of being cantankerous. The lad is an immensely exciting player to watch and - of course - pundits are going to talk balls. For myself, I think he's fantastic to watch. I'm not interested in comparing him with anyone else.

[7sisters]

I also thought the Croatian lad dispossessed him quite a few times yesterday. Immense talent and perhaps the most exciting prospect in the world but no where near a Messi or Ronaldo for all round brilliance..

Big wow, Henry did that and then....errr, went on to become one of the best players in the world.

You're going to have Sir C telling you that Henry was a great athlete, but not a great footballer if you're not careful.

and a very suspicious Croatia 2nd goal.
