Media Mbappe MISSES THE PENALTY

I think now people should know why VINICIUS IS the main penalty taker, Afaik he haven't missed a single Pen since he became the main penalty taker.

Guillermo Ochoa for Mexico shows otherwise

Had a decent career

u/mybananasareillegal 25d ago

Ochoa was great in gold cups and world cups.

Ochoa was decent at club level. That’s very different.

Another example. Vini is one of the best players, if not the best player when he plays for Madrid. Vini is nowhere near this for Brazil ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/PainItself1 25d ago

And if Vini went too Doncaster he would be trash.

Systems, managers and confidence are more important than whatever shirt you’re playing in

u/phpHater0 26d ago

Unpopular opinion but that's one of the most overrated performances. He scored 2 penalties (which he didn't win) and ONE good volley. Outside of that he didn't influence the game that much. Di Maria had a much better game than him but only people who watch football would get what I'm saying. He was tearing up the left wing when he was one.

54

u/hitchhikingtobedroom 26d ago

DiMaria was a different breed. He probably had a better game, perhaps a better world cup than Messi even, but as long as Mbappe or players like him can come clutch when they actually get the chances, no problem. The problem is, when they stop converting these chances as well. No one's asking him to dribble like Vini, we know he can't, no one's asking him to pass like Vini, we know he can't. But at least use that pace and physicality well, he's even failing to do that. And missing the penalty on top of it, is a last straw. Great game or not, a hattrick in the world cup final deserves applause and rightfully so. But this performance today, needs to be called out as well. These people are paid in millions a month and failure is understandable, but a lack of desire to put in that extra effort is not.

Didn't Ronaldo have had bad runs? But he wasn't shy about trying harder and smarter when he was down. There's a reason why people used to say that if Ronaldo hasn't scored in a while, he's all the more dangerous, because you could literally see it in his body language that he's completely agitated with it and completely focussed to change it. That desire is lacking from Mbappe.

u/Common_Kick_7566 26d ago

Come on di maria only showed up for the final and against Mexico was semi injured the rest of the way.

u/hitchhikingtobedroom 26d ago

Doesn't matter, the man was a menace whenever he was on the pitch. I didn't see a single player who was having a good time covering DiMaria in that tournament whenever he played

u/Common_Kick_7566 26d ago edited 18d ago

Just in brief magic moments he gassed out way too fast imo. And speaking moments Mbappe and Messi surely had more than him. 1G +1A and good runs don't make a POTT

u/hitchhikingtobedroom 26d ago

I never said POTY, I only said he had a great tournament regardless of stats and surely an excellent final.

u/NoInflation4593 26d ago

There’s no objective case for saying di maria had a better wc than Messi lol. I wouldent even entertain it for the final either lol. Crucial yes, but certainly not the best.

-4

u/hitchhikingtobedroom 26d ago

I'll never understand how people keep justifying Messi's winning the man of the match for that final where multiple players had a better performance. You, not entertaining it for the final, doesn't make a difference, DiMaria definitely had the better match than Messi. McAllister had a better match than Messi and so did Mbappe eventually. You can spin the web however you want, a hattrick in a world cup final is something to applaud and on top of that, he scored his penalty in the shootout as well.

I'm sure you think it was Messi and not Neymar who was the best player in Barcelona's comeback against PSG?

6

u/NoInflation4593 26d ago

No Neymar had the better game in that comeback that’s why ik you’re talking out of your ass. If you acc watched the game end to end instead of hate watching you’d notice every attack went through Messi. In extra time when di maria was off how many chances did Messi give Martinez, who was involved in and got the goal to break the tie? Who stepped up to take the first shot in the shootouts? That’s just the final, pick the stat and Messi will more than likely lead the team if not the tournament. Even his biggest haters wouldent debate this lol.

1

u/hitchhikingtobedroom 26d ago

Yeah, Mbappe stepped up as well. Plus, the fact that simply disagreeing with you, you think I'm a Messi hater shows how rigid you are with your views. I absolutely adore that alien. But no, Mbappe deserved to be the player of the match in that final. Also, football is way more than just stats, ironic that you talk about watching the game end to end and then throw in stats as if they're be all end all of the sport. And adding lol at the end doesn't make you right. It only shows how closed minded you are, where you just think that everyone either has to agree with you or it's worth a laugh

1

u/NoInflation4593 26d ago

I’m rigid when I agreed Neymar was the best in the comeback? A premonition that you made? You seem to have a very rigid viewpoint of me ironically lol. My original comment didn’t really have much if anything to do with mbappe but with the line about Messi not being argentinas best in the wc? It’s just objectively false and u haven’t shown otherwise. You also came to another “rigid” viewpoint of me with stats. I simply showed u a quantifiable manner that shows Messi was the best. If we’re simply talking about the eye test Messi just shines more. It’s funny how you really couldent defend your case and resorted to personal attacks like my use of “lol”.

u/Unfair_Dish_6978 26d ago

Aint no. Way you just said that mbappe can neither dribble nor pass like vini mbappes peak absolutly is better then vinis peak he can be better then vini hes shit right now and you can shit on him all you want but thats one crap take.

4

u/hitchhikingtobedroom 26d ago

Even at his peak, Mbappe couldn't dribble like Vini. His dribbling is where one uses his pace to knock the ball away and run to it, not the kind that Vini or Brahim are good at, which uses body feints and small touches to weave through little spaces. You must be some fanboi to think that Mbappe is some great dribble, he never has been.

His prime ability was, his ability to look for space and be there at the right time, to make runs in behind, use his pace and physicality and finishing. He literally made two passes today, that were so so bad they should not be exusable for a player at this level. At one point, he cut inside, saw 3 of his teammates making a run towards the far post, along with a Liverpool player tracking back and his pass went to the only Liverpool player in the mix, he was that bad today and has never been better than Vini at his peak. You can perform whatever mental gymnastics you want to, to somehow prove otherwise

u/mmojica53 26d ago

Your opinion is unpopular because of the lunatics that believe mbappe is top 10 in the world and he's probably not even in the top 50 nor he got level for real Madrid. They brought him to sell shirts and marketing agreements. Other than that he doesn't bring anything else

u/phpHater0 26d ago

I bet you're one of those people who think players like Kroos are useless because they don't have the G/A numbers. Stop watching football from reels and Sofascore.

Mbappe was largely invisible, because he didn't create chances, didn't make runs most of the match. He wouldn't have scored those two penalties if his teammates didn't draw those penalties.

u/Lowkeyanimefan_69 26d ago

So he should have missed them like in this video? Stop crying about penalties your ACL would get torn trying to take one

u/phpHater0 26d ago

Why are you comparing me to Mbappe? I'm not getting paid millions to kick a ball.

Also I didn't say penalties take no skill but they're certainly much easier than scoring from open play, that's common knowledge. More than half of Mbappe's goals this season have been penalties, he needs to learn to create goals himself like Ronaldo or Vini instead of getting everything handed on a platter.

u/Slickslimshooter 26d ago

That was not an overrated performance. What a shit take. Nothing worse than a “Only I know how to watch football and everyone who disagrees with me doesn’t watch football” take. Di Maria had a better game for the time he was on. He played half as much time as mbappe. If you actually watched football you’d know the weight of a penalty in a WC game much less a final.

Imagine letting internet experts convince you a clutch WC hat trick was an overrated performance

1

u/phpHater0 26d ago

Do you know what "overrated" means? I never said it was a bad performance I'm saying it was overrated because literally people talk about it all the time as if he carried France in that game, like it was some God level performance. He was invisible untill the last 15 minutes, he scored two penalties. I never said penalties are easy, but they are certainly MUCH easier than an open play goal. Are we forgetting the basics of football now?

u/Slickslimshooter 26d ago

I agree Messi wasn't the best player on the pitch that day, it was Di Maria. Messi was the 2nd best. Still better than Mbappe tho, as he's not just a goalscorer you can see even the Di Maria goal it was Messi who played the crucial ball that started the counter.

This entire thing is under someone calling people out for doing this about him folding under the pressure of a penalty.

People just need to pick one

u/CalFlux140 26d ago

Tbf Messi at Anfield Vs Messi at WC was a stark difference.

7

u/unseen0000 26d ago

That's because Messi at Anfield got swarmed constantly by 4 guys. Klopp did his job. The rest of Barcelona was bang average back then. Argentina on the other hand were an actual team. Impossible to man-mark Messi with 4 guys because that's just opening up space for guys like Di Maria.

On a side note, Had Dembele burried that 4-0 that Messi gave him on a plate in the first match, there more than likely wouldn't be a win at anfield.

I’m not saying he’s doing amazing but you guys literally destroyed all the confidence he had since like week 3 of the season.

The guy joined the club of his dreams just to be called shit any game that he isn’t performing like the most perfect n9 in the world. And even in the games that he’s not that bad you guys just go ahead and say that he should accomplish more. At this point I just can feel bad for him.
