European qualifications are a joke. Period.
Stupid sexy Giroud in there at the end.
Yup,Mbappe is right, there is no comparison between South American and European qualifications.
Kylian Mbappé, one of the world’s best, up against a goalkeeper that couldn’t even nail no. 1 at the mighty Liversedge
I fucking hate American sports but I can see why they sometimes have a mercy rule
Mercy rule seems even worse than just losing badly ordinarily. Imagine getting beat so bad there’s a rule that exists just to stop you from getting beat even harder… That’s so much more embarrassing imo
Giroud still killing it
This isn’t even funny
Beating the precedent record, 10-0 against Azerbaidjan in Auxerre during the qualifications of the 1996 Euro with the third goal of Zidane with the French National team
Games like these are why all international goalscoring records are getting beaten more and more easily, still impressive but means a lot less and shouldn’t be used to compare current day players with players of yesteryear.
In the days when the tournament was just 8 teams, qualifying rounds definitely made sense. Even, at a stretch, when it was bumped up to 16. With 24 teams the qualifying now seems a little less important. I don’t think that scores like this help anything apart from to pad the record books. Competition should have at least the faint prospect that either side could win, otherwise its more like an exhibition match than anything with a real consequence.
Remember that Mbappe said international European football has higher competition.
Lord Mbappe hattick 🫂
If it wasn’t for that own goal it would have been a completely different game.
This issue the exciting international break we get. So worth it /s
What was Mbappe saying about the quality of European football compared to CONMEBOL, again?
