What a crap shot by Mbappe. Easy to score for fun in a farmers league, let's see how he does in Madrid, based on his Euros so far, he won't be the menace people think
Trying to work out if you’re serious… bad tournament for him but he has 12 goals in World Cups and dozens of European Cup goals by his mid twenties.
He is the only reason his team had a chance in that final against Argentina.
It's unusual for a player to switch from one top European country to another.
Normally it's a player switching from a better team to a "lower" one because they're own country didn't pick them. Or a player from a lower country playing for a better one. Or a South American settling in Europe, and playing for a country there.

He really is a bit underwhelming. Best player in the world?! Guess in recent years we've had some unbelievably great players that a french rashford doesn't really cut the mustard.
I thought that Spain handled the last 15 minutes of that match terribly. They played far too quickly rather than trying to just keep possession and slow the game down. They've been the best team in the tournament but I would be confident that Kane, Foden or Bellingham would bury either of the Hernandez or Mbappe chances. England would defend a lead better than Spain, and also take advantage of Spain's open play better than France. Experience however tells me not to get carried away - we have to beat the Dutch first.

12 goals in 14 games at world cups, including 4 in finals.
Yes he's had a bad tournament, not sure how much he hindered by the broken nose, but he's still one of the best players in the world. By the time he ends his career he'll probably have close to 200 caps and over 100 goals.

Historically we dont have a bad record against the Spanish though.
But against Spain (if we beat the Netherlands) we have to be massive underdogs considering relative performances so far this tournament.
Trippier will have Yamal in his pocket all night.
England 3/1
Netherlands 11/2
John Barnes was Jamaican, half of Ireland's team were English.
Portugal have had Deco, Pepe etc, Diego Costa played for Spain, the list goes on.
Laporte was only four years older than Barnes was when they moved
