Last point stick to basket ball and McDonald's 🙏🙏🤣
So you’re just ignoring 1000 games of brilliant football from messi vs 14 games. What
Ridiculous statement, so 15 years of brilliance is trumped 7 games every 4 years. What
These brothers need the stfu with all due respect🤯 In case y’all didn’t check there’s this thing called the Ballon D’or which FIFA rewards to the best player in the world per football season. Aside Messi n Ronaldo there are many players whom Kylian clearly has gotten close to surpassing . Tf y’all smokin?!
This is ridiculous at the age of 23 messi won 4 ballon d ors how many Mbappe won? Sorry big zero…
Please stick to basketball
🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Who the f are these people?
Most stupid thing I've ever heard Ronaldo 5 ucl messi 4, ballon d'or Ronaldo 5 messi 7 both have won their country trophies already so they don't need world cup so u saying just because he wins it twice takes away everything plus messi 50+ goals 6 years in a row Ronaldo not sure on his but obviously more plus being top goalscorer of all time Pele isn't counting because it was in easy league europe is best. So all that mbappe needs couple ballon d'or and ucl to get where they are, Ronaldo robot messi alien, very stupid thing to say
He might pass both career wise in the future, but no chance as a player (maybe cristiano is reachable but not likely, but no chance for messi)
If France win, Griezmann and Dembele will have 2 world cups. Would you say that they have surpassed Messi and Ronaldo? 😂😂😂
This is soooo dumb. Mbappe is 23. His resume is minuscule compared to Messi and Ronald in terms of Champions League, Club accomplishments, awards like Ballon d'Or etc., to say at 23 he surpasses Messi or Ronaldo based on his last 2 World Cup solely is just dumb, a hot take and typical banter of someone just looking to make noise and not really looking at the totality of a career. K.Mbappe is a great talent, but the National squad France has had for these last 2 cycles of World Cup play has been stacked, they have great chemistry and he is the beneficiary of timing, at his age to be a part of this. Great talent… but lets not get it twisted. And if Argentina beats France in the final (if FR gets there, I'm typing this before their match vs. MOR), you can without argument say Messi is the most decorated, single greatest talent in Soccer history — so how would Mbappe even sniff his jock at 23? Stupid fucks.
Its crazy how American Sports journalist always want to compare young players to Legends (i mean thats why y'all could even think of comparing Ja Morant to MJ)…Mbappe is a great player but he still needs alot more presence and years to even be mentioned in a conversation that has the name MESSI and RONALDO in it.
Twellman is smoking some serious crack..
Mbappe just laces up his shoes…..more to come…. Himself he cannot win World cups like messi ( Sunday will )…Messi is natural being and mbappe is product of running…
Uh, no!
American opinions lol. Is Robert Horry better than Charles Barkly? Is Russell better than MJ? Team trophies are just that a trophy for the entire team. When comparing individuals you compare individual awards and numbers/stats, along with teams accomplishments.
Yall arent football fans for you to say that, this game is not based of the world cup alone and for him to be a Goat youn need to be the best player in the world for at least 3 years
You dont know ball
These ppl must be f*** up in the head after saying this Ninja Turtles better than Messi and Ronaldo
That’s why Americans should stick to their sports.. laughable statement!
Those guys are insane and stupid, varaane , pavard , griezman would win it 2 times therefore they are in the conversation for the greatest
Lloris win it 2 times as captain there greatest gk ever better than buffon and neuuer
This is laughable statement
What Messi and Ronaldo have done we will not see anyone does it anytime soon. Been consistent for over 16 years. Winning the world cup is a team tournament, as great as pele maradona was they needed their team to win it , they didn’t win it by themselves. Imagine calling mbappe the greatest at 23 when he haven’t win a golden boot or a ballon dor .
The world cup is another stratosphere. It can do that to a player.
American pundits 😂
I know he just wants attention but stupid comments like this are insulting to the legacy of Lionel Messi the Seven times Ballon d'or winner!
Mbappe will win this world cup
im african american myself and believe me when i say this, this is why nobody takes us serious here in this country i mean ffs this guy is saying soccer smh
What a simple mind, this proves ESPN an American broadcaster is so clueless about football yes football not soccer as they call it…Messi and Ronaldo been top of their game for over 15 years, remember a 23yr old Messi and Ronaldo? No, they didn't know football existed yet, just🤐 it
At the same age sure but over all body if work no cmon
Bunch of dummies. Dude will never be better then Messi. Only a hand full of people can mention in the same breath as Messi.
Bro needs to get his 5-7 mvps(ballon d’ors) first let alone 1 lmao.
Will Mbappe even pass Zidane as the greatest French player ever?
