I never said once that he was a ghost? I said he would have a tough time of it against Walker like he always does. It was a great battle.

Sure we expected it to be a great battle. Walker is one of the best defender in the World for these situations.

But Mbappe often came inside and combined well too.

I know you didn't say he ghosted. Was a dig at other posters. You're a sound bloke.

At zero point did he skin walker for pace, you fool and that was the only run he had against him that was positive

Go watch the highlights you bum.

He beat him and easily completed the cross with his left foot. Even Brit commentrators said that duel would affect Walker psychologically.

Messi is ahead of him slightly tournament wise due to Mbappe's meh showing today. Also, got to factor in Mbappe has better teammates aside from maybe GK and one of the MF spots :lol:

Selective factoring??

Let's factor in that France faced better opposition in England today?

Mbappe was invisible. He's lucky to be surrounded woth quality teammates to bail him out when he doesnt show up.
He's like his hero in the cl runs in that regard.

Doesn't need to make everything for France, they have a complete and talented squad were everyone can score and create. Not his best game today as space wasn't available and had a quick RB to play against.
France the favorites from the start of this tournament.

I was surprised they didn't move into the CF/ST position along side Giroud for 10 mins. He would have been too much for Stones/Maguire where Walker has the pace to keep up with Mbappe.

I think Mbappe would have been much more of a threat in the middle

No, he doesn't have good consistent close touches, would lose the ball and get countered. He needs the line to play his best.
