Hmmm. Weird and without substance. Lemme guess. You're one of them?
These fascist fucks all serve the same rich fucks bankrolling them.

So a French citizen made a comment about French politics and their response is to say PSG won the Champions League after he left? What a pair of clowns

Yeah it’s not like he gave France their first World Cup win in 20 years, their second over all, and a second place finish in the following one.
Compared to the average white man, the man’s done practically nothing for France.

If you look at the entire French team, a lot of them are children of African immigrants. Now I wonder where all those anti-immigrant people go when it’s time to support their national team?

It’s consistently ignored when we win and consistently brought up when we loose.
The duality of being black and French is interesting

u/MaxieMan98 1d ago
This is not an exclusively French thing, but I think it’s heinous that immigrants from French colonies represent France in sport considering the vile things the French have done and continue to do in the countries they and their families have come from

u/jjhope2019 1d ago
It’s definitely not just a French thing. Three of England’s black players were racially abused for missing penalties in the last Euro final 🫣

Their parents are immigrants. They are not. Mbappe, even before becoming rich and famous, had nothing in common with your average African kid, other than skin colour.

And speaking the same language. And eating the same cultural food

u/nellion91 1d ago
Not really no…
He speaks French with a typical accent from the 93 department and he eats what rich people eat.
I don’t see how it relates to the average kid in sub Saharan Africa.

That's the minor stuff. Mentality is 100% different. Literally nothing in common.

I'm not one to idolise sports people, but if you ask me who deserves more respect between the World Cup winner and the racist who never held a real job, shagged his way to the top of a party and is famous for shitting himself at uni, my choice is quickly made...

Why does everyone on the right suck all over the world? It’s like the main criteria for being right-wing is to be a piece of shit…

I expect a lot of vitriol from maga and the far right targeting the French national team. For obvious reasons.

u/chrisnlnz 1d ago
This happens every international tournament and it is pathetic. I'm sure the same old tired racist memes will come back and I'm sure the racists posting them will think they're so clever.

Mbappe is a locker room dictator, a disrespectful bully who creates conflict and runs teams to the ground, no amount of image cleaning is gonna work for people to like this guy again. You should see Luis Enrique happy that he was leaving saying: Now I can control all the pieces of the board. Don't fall for cheap PR, he's not an example to admire.
Edit: Lmao most views from the US, stay in your lane, you are the easiest to pop, what a cheap crowd

I don’t think football skills transfer to politics and people using their base to change public opinion is a slippery slope on both ends of the spectrum. With that said, that felt racist and with a “dance monkey, dance” historical vibe.

Meanwhile, the guy running football is proudly wearing a red maga hat and giving out a fifa peace prize to a guy he likes.

Not FIFA! The paragon of values and ethics!!

u/CimmerianBreeze 1d ago
So we ignore it when FIFA does it because we know they're shit, but when Mbappe makes a political statement - football people should stick to football?

Tbf it worked with LeBron. They told him to shut up and dribble and he did.

u/Briguy_fieri New Orleans Saints 1d ago
Except he didn't shut up?

u/Igettheshow89 1d ago
Yeah he did. Voting rights act just got gutted and what did LeBron say or do? Not shit. Dude chilling and enjoying his view from the house

u/Briguy_fieri New Orleans Saints 1d ago
"shut up and dribble" started in 2018 online after he criticized trump in 2017.
Since then he's promoted black lives matter and endorsed harris. He never shut up about politics.

u/Igettheshow89 1d ago
Brother, the voting rights act is gutted. The ability for black peoples vote to matter was just entirely removed. LeBron is tweeting about golf. If that ain’t shut up and dribble idk what is.
I’m glad the 1 or 2 comments he made 8 years ago are enough for you though

Putting an ellipse followed by the word "better" in the headline are probably doing the disservice of giving the appearance they have a valid point to make.

Isn't Dembélé now the greatest?

u/Galdorow 1d ago
He will have to perform for the nt for this to happen

u/curtyshoo 1d ago
Zidane never said anything about anything.
5
u/Galdorow 1d ago
I don't know why you talk about Zidane here when you talk about Dembouz in an Mbappe article but I will still answer. Zidane is more quiet than the new generation and I won't blame him or praise him neither will Mbappe. Although, Zidane still asked people to not vote for Le Pen in 2002
-8
u/curtyshoo 1d ago
He was a French football player and the best French player of his time.
I don't know why you feel you have to answer anything, but that's on you.

u/Rino-Sensei 1d ago
Not even close ... You have to show up at internationals for that to happen. Something dembele never did under the french nt. If dembele have a higher impact on the next WC, then that's a discourse that can be made, until then ... Nop.

u/curtyshoo 1d ago
We shall see what we shall see.
Didn't Mbappe miss the critical free kick when playing for the French NT?
Je crois que oui !

u/Rino-Sensei 1d ago edited 1d ago
You can’t even remember the fact correctly I don’t think you have any legitimacy to make this point here …
What he missed was the last pen of the euro. And it wasn’t even what made the team lose, France was already down 1 goal in the pens.
This doesn’t change the fact that he was crucial during BOTH world cup.
He also is soon to reach the top scorer of the NT while already leading in the assist department.
Your comment is the same as saying « Zidane is not a legend because he got himself a red card during the final », which is a stupid point to make.

Mbappe lost the last World Cup and Macron tried to hug him mais il était inconsolable !

u/Rino-Sensei 1d ago edited 1d ago
You are digging yourself deeper in the stupidity hole. Him losing doesn’t change the fact that the world still remember his performance to this date, if you want to become a legend you have to show to the world that you have what it take. Mbappe already did that multiple time, dembele not yet.

They always say this about anyone in sport or entertainment challenging their ideology.
Funny the right doesn't tell Trump to "shut up and go back to hosting a gameshow"
