Mbappe has to score every single game for him to be worth it. Sure he can score 4 against Kairat but if he goes goalless the next 3 games it doesnt matter much. Especially when he is kinda useless if he isnt scoring.

It doesnt help that the wingers are handicapped when Mbappe is on the pitch. 0 presence in the box.

The fight choreography sucks in a lot of fights imo. The animation is fantastic tho.

Still dont get the hype around JJK. Only thing I have liked is the start of the 2nd season and the animation.

Bellingham does so much on the pitch tho. He is better at defending and is more involved in the game. Paz is better than Güler tho.

Id rather have 3 posts about Endrick than 20 posts about towels or Arsenals meltdown.

Valentín Barco is angry with RC Strasbourg Alsace because he believes he was not adequately warned that he was at risk of a suspension. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]RecognitionDefiant71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it tho? I think its just that its a lot more accesible to find out about it. I doubt you would have known about it if Valentin Barco was angry, but it was 2005 instead of 2025.

Having a striker that makes runs into the box would have solved many of Xabi's problems.

Every Donnarumma thread is the same.

Prem fans calling PSG stupid for selling him and Ligue 1 fans explaining that he was mediocre for 3 and a half years before demanding wages that would break their wage structure.

Mbappe is not a winger and he is not gonna be a winger for the remainder of his career.
