I can’t see it. It’s hard to maintain that level of consistency for a country like France who’s squad always seems to be on the brink of internal issues lol

How’s that pitch for a World Cuo every 2 years going? If that happens, he’s got a great chance.
Devalues the achievement in that case.

I know he plays for PSG in the farmers league but this guy is clearly another level. He is incredible, you can really see he has that fear factor for defenders.

Yeah, he may not have the goalscoring variety of Ronaldo or the playmaking of Messi but defenders absolutely shit themselves every time he takes them on.
Does remind me of early Ronaldo and Messi when they used to go on these runs and also had the pace to go with it too.
Messi and Ronaldo did evolve beyond that. Be interesting to see how he adjusts his style in the next few years.

Imagine if he develops the same kind of effectiveness in the air like Ronaldo did

True.

Haaland definitely gets a lot of alpha points for actually coming to the PL. I doubt we ever see Mbappe here, he will probably go to Spain and beat up on scrub teams just like Messi did for almost his entire career.

Ronaldo is his reference point and he is a supreme athlete so that’s what he should aim for.
He has shown a brilliant leap at times. Just need to start getting into the right positions and start contending for the ball in the air more.
I don’t see Haaland having the same longevity myself.
He’s already suffering from injuries evey so often this early in his career.

I think Haaland will end up doing far more at club level than Mbappe, personally.
The turn of pace, striking accuracy and heading ability. He’s probably the closest we’ve seen to a complete striker in a long, long while.
Out of Saka and Martinelli, who do you think has the best chance of contending for Ballon D’Or eventually(finish Top 10 let’s say)?
- Martinelli
- Saka
- Neither

That’s a bit of a myth tbf. Haaland isn’t a particularly great header of the ball despite his size and athleticism.
He has merely 14 career goal with his head. Reminds me a bit of Ibra who had the size too but was never great header of the ball either.

Yeah.
Heading should be outlawed soon, anyway.
What’s this got to do with Mbappe lol
He’s probably the guy to dominate Ballon D’Or the next few years.

England will keep him quiet.

He won’t be happy if that happens. He nearly retired from international football last year after getting slapped by Xhaka’s Switzerland.
