LMAO wtf
has this guy ever really been the star of the France NT? i see people here placing him at the top of the pyramid because he takes penalties.
like with barca, he only shines or does good at most when the opposition is shite. when the chips are down, you have to rely on mbappe, benzema or pogba to make it happen.
He was far better than Mbappe in 2018 (besides the infamous Argentina game). Certainly their best offensive player, but they had a few massive performers (Pogba, Kante, CBs..), which after all was a title winning squad. That's rarely down to 2-3 players - see Messi. And was far better than Mbappe this tournament, he was pretty great in the 2nd half vs Switzerland as well.
No need to be disingenuous even though I am not too fond of him.
far better than mbappe this tournament? by scoring on a rebound vs hungary? don't think you can call him far better on that.
"far better than Mbappe in the world cup"
Lmao, the narratives people like to pull out off their asses when the player they hate had a shit performance.
That was probably an exaggeration, sorry for that, but he was better. Was pure quality in the 2nd half vs Switzerland for example.
Well, I watched the world cup and that was Griezmann at his best. Just very sharp touches all over the field. And heck, I think he's been mostly shit for us and want him gone. Nothing to do with Mbappe either. He was far from awe-inspiring in 2018 (bar Argentina as mentioned). And was an utter trainwreck (mostly) this tournament.

Edit: That's at least how I remember things
griezmann had a good tournament in 2018, clearly his best. but his numbers were inflated by the penalties he took. mbappe was more impressive.
Theirs a racist video going out where Griezmannn and Ousmane Dembele making jokes of Asian looks and mock them
so what? they've laughed at some dudes, so? hardly any racism there if you ask me.
