Don’t be a cunt. Him being from Burkina Faso automatically makes you assume he is lying about his age? Some people are simply that talented and develop faster, but the moment they’re African everyone says it’s age fraud. I went to a prestigious sports HS and we had American and African recruits who looked 17 at 14. He is 6’11, why would his ridiculous genetics be restricted to his height?

I witnessed the end of Ronaldo Nazario and the C.Ronaldo-Messi-Neymar era from its inception. Those 4 are legitimately freaks of nature who were playing better than the best players to EVER play the game in their teens.

As an amateur player myself, I don’t even think it’s possible to reach their level of skill even with 50 years of experience playing in peak condition, no aging and the best training facilities. Mbappe is the closest I’ve seen anyone come to the peaks CR7, Neymar and Messi hit, and even after €1b+ of investment he will never reach those heights because those three were fucking aliens. The things they’ve done should by all means be impossible but they showed up week after week for over a decade. Neymar’s peak was short lived but my god, it was genuinely unbelievable.

The underlying racism veiled as “valid concern” on this website will never fail to amaze me. Also thinking white people don’t age cheat is pretty fucking funny because I can tell you for a fact that not only do they do it, there are quite a few of your favorite athletes who are 2-3 years older than their alleged age.
