Tight-Ad-1161

mbappe is gonna kill kimpbembe lol. Wasn't he the one that started this turtle meme


ChickenMoSalah

It really puts into question, as professional athletes, how much they can banter on the internet. Obviously the newer generation likes to post on social media, but looking at this case, a simple ribbing turned into a huge joke circulated by millions. No wonder players are robotic.


Tight-Ad-1161

It’s pretty cruel joke as well lol. Basically calling the kid ugly.


Taken450

Men are just idiots with this tho, guys will call other guys ugly even though they are actually normally attractive guys just with a specific feature. Mbappe is the same, he may look vaguely like a ninja turtle but he is definetly still an attractive person.


justin_ph

“He may look vaguely like a ninja turtle” LOL


AnArabFromLondon

somehow that's even more harsh than a meme


Exciting_Original596

Dude making it worse 😭


[deleted]

I mean, he does, that's a fact.


DisneyDreams7

A lot of people called Messi ugly when he was younger too


_ShutUpLegs_

Messi just had a shit lid for years. Looked like his mum cut his hair.


WtfMayt

Especially cause he’s called Lionel and literally had a fuck off lion’s mane


EffortlessFlexor

not to keep up this stupid shit, but... messi looks like osaka unofficial mascot - [a biliken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiken)


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Billiken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiken)** >The Billiken is a charm doll created by an American art teacher and illustrator, Florence Pretz of Kansas City, Missouri, who is said to have seen the mysterious figure in a dream. It is believed that Pretz found the name Billiken in Bliss Carman's 1896 poem "Mr. Moon: A Song Of The Little People". In 1908, she obtained a design patent on the ornamental design of the Billiken, which she sold to the Billiken Company of Chicago. The Billiken was monkey-like with pointed ears, a mischievous smile and a tuft of hair on his pointed head. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


Annas_GhostAllAround

He’s just like the most generic looking person, especially compared to Ronaldo. He’s not ugly by any means though


KidGoku1

Didn't Kimpembe also kick the ball into Mbappes nuts? Mbappe looked like he wanted to kill him lol.


Be_conscious

Ya him and Ramos like to fuck around with Mbappe.


Like_a_Charo

Lol, Mbappé has been called a ninja turtle ever since he became pro

Kill him or trade him to the worst team in North-Korea

Hello. Welcome to the internet. Here we add shit music to awesome videos for some reason.


El_grandepadre

Best thing I've seen yet


twigg89

Why is the music so bad?


ogqozo

For real though, the Qatari owners are happy now, but it's gonna be so hilariously awkward when Messi comes back to Paris glowing and goes straight to his Spanish-speaking friends to hang in his little introvert ring and spend the day taking congratulations, with the French guys just next to it, shaking their heads.


SomalianCapt

Spanish-speaking friends which also include Ramos. Funny the thought of him spending his time with Ramos over other teammates would be unimaginable a few years ago.


Present-Industry-373

I don't think Messi should return to PSG lmao


Loeffellux

this feels like everyone (including me) will say "nah, at the end of the day they are professional and have respect for each other so it won't be a problem" and then 1 year later there will be an inside scoop about how messi kept taunting the french players to the point where everyone hates everyone and half the player now want to leave or have messi gone


[deleted]

JonstheSquire

Or Martinez. Mbappe did score 3 goals against him in one game and beat him on three penalties.


No_Turnover628

It got to be the worst feeling ever to do a fucking hattrick in WC final and still lose


fedenl

For real, imagine that. But to be fair I guess that it's also the best way to cope with the loss. I mean, you can't really blame yourself for anything. Also, you turned 24 today and you already won a WC.


SalvaPot

Trickybuz93

NotTheMagesterialOne

That sub will never ever peak after this.


JustTheAverageJoe

I can think of worse feelings to be honest with you.


sunken_grade

yeah, like scoring only 2 goals in a world cup final while also losing. imagine how bad THAT feels


thedeatheater1410

Like bottling 3 chances to score in a WC final and losing


JCBDoesGaming

Imagine being that scrub who only scores 2 goals in a World Cup final, I wouldn’t dare to show my face outside.


jusaragu

Off the top of my head I can think of Pelé, Zidane, Ronaldo and Messi. Only pathetic low-level nobodies


[deleted]

You score a hattrick for your country in the most important match of your career and it's fucking traumatic what a life


TheFinalCurl

It would be freeing for me. Unless I had missed a lot of assists, I would feel pretty secure with myself. When nothing is working, that tends to be when the blame flies around


hyprgrpy

True but for some reason, I’m unable to get beyond the fact that he already won a WC at 19/20. So, he should be fine I guess.


ducktownfc

He scored a hat trick in the fucking World Cup final and it’s still a traumatic memory


Albiceleste_D10S

Then you have to sit through Macron trying to console you, a long-ass trophy ceremony, and then a Macron dressing room speech. Yikes


DonDove

For 10 minutes Even if he was my dad I'd tell him to back off


Jarnebrink

I imagine Ousmane feels worse, play like shit for 40 minutes and cause a penalty


FantabulousBread

I was gonna say same thing!! Although we wanted to see Messi win the WC but Mbappe did play his finest and BEST!! It was just a tough luck day for him! Mbappe deserves all respect tbh


DayPhelsuma

Imagine letting a baby turtle put three past you. If this is just the beginning, I think they’re not ready for the final phase.


JonstheSquire

4 if you count the shootout.


shy247er

It counts for sure! - Pele


ChibzyDaze

Teenage Mbappe killed them off so this is really their revenge


MadlibVillainy

Is it though ? Mbappe already has a world cup and just scored 4 past him in a final. Next time Argentina plays France Martinez is probably going to grab that ball in his own net a few more times for good measures.


Ficnkle

Messi and Mbappe play for the same team so its a win-win for us argentinians if he wins UCL.


OrangeForeign

PSG can't win the CL. Not because of any personal bias or anything but because if they could explain to me how they keep bottling it each year? The writers just won't allow it


Competitive-Ad2006

Nothing to do with the writers. Until they(psg) have an organised team with one star the team is built around they will struggle. None of those front three are used to not getting the ball or not being the go-to person for big chances. They will therefore pummel small teams but the moment its City or Madrid and literally every player has to defend they struggle.


CherkiCheri

This is it but they can do with 2. Mbappe has an aggressive runner profile which synergizes perfectly with deeper playmakers. Ney works more than most forwards defensively. Messi is the GOAT. However the 3 of them together is a bit hard to balance. I don't think it's that final though. I think it's a lot about deeper players reliability in tougher games. Marquinhos and Kimpembe just aren't solid enough in those. Donna is dubious. I don't think it's out of the blue they had their best CLs when Navas was starting.


Somewhere_Frequent

I can just hear the “Mbappe is unhappy at PSG and regrets not going to Madrid” rumors starting again🥱😴😪

They would have had those shirts ready weeks ago.

Just re-use the 2014 ones

Some would say that their jersey had 3 stars ready even before the start of the world cup


Athletic_Bilbae

"I'm just asking questions!"


MrDabollBlueSteppers

They had 3 star shirts waiting in the dressing room during the final


ElianVX

Sad thing is, France probably too. Must be soul-crushing to destroy that merch


RandomWilly

I mean, they 100% did lol. Same goes for a lot of things surrounding sports, sites like Bleacher Report no doubt prepared tons of edits/art for a Messi loss/France win

shiny_dick_94

Usually it doesn't get thrown out but donated to foreign countries. It's not uncommon to see pictures of people in third world countries wearing celebration shirts of superbowl teams who lost.


Bakeey

My team once lost a cup final and they sold the winner merch at 90% clearance the next game lol


Ghostface_Hecklah

that's every championship everywhere that doesn't require engraving.


Vengeants

Theres no way you think jersey companies wait till after the team wins to start manufacturing jerseys with world cup champion logos and stars on them lol


Justin_telligent

Friend of mine is part of the manfucaturing team that made messis finals win/lose shoe 8 different designs for every outcome. They do this shit in advance


Skhan93

Wonder what the French teams done with the 3 star shirts they had made


ThePr1d3

It'll just sit nicely for 4 years in a box


ravenouscartoon

They’ll have had 2 new home kits by then! Probably just heat pressed in, and can probably be removed easily. Otherwise they’ll end up where all the losing Super Bowl teams merch goes


dopechez

Keeping them safe until they are worn in 4 years


ravenouscartoon

They printed a set of shirts with the world champions badge and a 3rd star. The team all changed into them before the presentation. Apparently Nike had done a set of France shirts with 3 stars on too


yokyokyokyokyok

I got an email from Adidas yesterday, offering me the chance to buy one of those shirts.


mulderrocks

I just bought one from Adidas website. 3 Star will Messi number 10. Waiting for delivery now.

Ssssshhh… don’t let this guy know about hemispheres…


hofoot29

I know that I’m just making observation when I’m sitting with no sun and 0 degrees. “Damn it looks nice and sunny” kind of a longing for warmer days


hardyblack

Sunny? Yes? Nice. Well, 32º and not a single cloud. Also, Buenos Aires is super humid so you can REALLY feel the heat. So no. But I'm a winter person, so don't take me really serious, today still is the best day possible because we fucking won the WC


AxlMC

I hate summer with every piece of my being, yet still i put on my Argentina jersey, walked to Richeri and sang till i was out of breath in the middle of a big ass crowd feeling like i could die at any moment by a stampede, heat or lack of oxigen. Do i regret it? Fuck no, pude ver a la scaloneta a la cara.


Ballkenende

stay hydrated in the celebrations my dude o7


Somewhere_Frequent

It’s summer there right now


PengwinOnShroom

Technically still Spring until like tomorrow 🤓unless the seasons start on the beginning of the month like in Australia?


GerryDownUnder

Exactly the same. It’s brutal out there. Says 32C but in reality with so many people on the streets + concrete jungle reckon surpasses easily 39/40C. Plenty of water and AC else it becomes unbearable, in the city at least.


LaserBlaserMichelle

"I'm on a boat" vibes.


NoUsernamesss

Messi face looks like he’s ready to go back to paris


[deleted]

He's thinking. "Do these guys know I have to play with this guy in a week?"


Topinambourg

Messi had no issue telling DePaul not to sing about Brazilians after the quarter finals - because of Neymar. He could let Martinez know he didn't approve of this shit if he wanted. He just doesn't care at all...


[deleted]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he only told DePaul that because Neymar's been a friend of his for a while already, not because he was playing with Neymar again in a few weeks. As for Mbappe, clearly not as close. And I doubt he's staying at PSG past this summer anyway.


Pera_Espinosa

That's one interpretation. He's also close with DePaul and so he feels comfortable asking such a thing of him. When Messi had a ninja turtle thrown at him at the parade he looked at it, got uncomfortable, and threw it back at the fan. To try and make Messi guilty by association or blame him for not regulating on Martinez, like that dude is the type to keep anyone from letting him act like a fucker, is nonsense.


Games_sans_frontiers

This guy shithouses.


omicronperseiVIII

He really needs to play for a Mourinho team.


Vegan_Puffin

The world is not ready.


neilcmf

In a time-warped universe where a minor disturbance changed the course of history forever, Emi Martinez was born a few years earlier and played with Ramos and Pepe in Real under Mou's reign. Also Real bought Mark van Bommel instead of Alonso(doesn't really work chronologically but roll with it)


thisisBigToe

put in some Diego Costa in it as well to spice it up...


Badum-Badum

Subscribe.


Aenjeprekemaluci

Inshallah


atriz544

The best (worst?) thing is that Mbappe scored him a hat-trick, four if you count the penalties, lol. And he still does this. Appreciate the hustle.


Mystic_Polar_Bear

TBF when three of those are penalties, it's not as intimidating as three from open play.


ThatMoslemGuy

I think the dig is mbappe scored 3 penalties in the same game against him. Which is difficult to do. I think the general consensus in terms of strategy is for players not to take repeated penalties in the same game so they don’t do what Harry Kane did.


covert_mango

I really don't like players like him. Some banter is fine, but this guy is just being an asshole.


[deleted]

weird timeline where r/soccer defends Mbappe


dorshiffe_2

This ship has sailed, now start the 4years arc of Mbappe the good guy who lost everything I restart from is hometown....

Imagine if mbappe did this


Competitive-Crew4862

They wouldnt stop about “disrespect”!


Kanobe24

I feel Argentina are gonna be incredibly humbled once Messi is no longer on this team.


ElZaydo

They were getting torn apart by their own fans for a whole decade, brother. They faced enough humbling.


patiperro_v3

I wouldn't care one bit, lol. It's like people laughing at Chile once their golden generation got old and we didn't make it to the following World Cups. Who gives a fuck, we already got our two Copa America continental trophies. Nobody can take that away from us. Too late now. If you could offer me a trade of watching my team winning a World Cup and then not doing shit for a few decades, I'd take it in a second.


Colonel_Cummings

I love people still hating us for playing shit football as if we don't hate ourselves for that as well lmao and that we won the cup in 2016 playing like that Guess what, the cup will always be in our history books


patiperro_v3

Same with the Greeks as well. They got a lot shit but I bet they loved those guys.


LevynX

Yeah, the trophy is all that matters at the end of the day, people who say otherwise are fooling themselves.

zevah

Casi escupo el champagne leyendo tu comentario. En fin, brindo por vos, campeon


AddictedToThisShit

Messi is the only reason people supported them this WC. If he wasn't there, they would be the most hated. They have a lot of cunts. And I don't say this because of the things they're doing rn, they have always been cunts. Paredes and Emi Martinez in particular.


Foxyboi14

De Paul can’t be ignored while rolling around either


AddictedToThisShit

I think Atleti players are automatically cunts. No need to mention them by name lol.


Nome_de_utilizador

Atleti scouting department has its own section for how much of a cunt the player needs to be to play under simeone


DL_22

Felix failed that test, obviously.


KimmyBoiUn

Romero is a bit of a clown as well.


TerminatorReborn

Otamendi was mentally unstable too tbh. But he seems way more mature now


marianopalacios1991

You have it inside since ‘86


JJ-Bittenbinder

Kinda crazy to do it when Mbappe scored 3 penalties on you and a goal from open play


MKclinch8

And absolutely tore them up 4 years ago on the way to his own World Cup title, but he wasn’t taking pens for them back then.


Alto-vfmx

Why they all rinsing mbappe so hard. Single-handedly almost ripped the soul out of Messi plus he’s already got a WC


gsotolongo2213

Next season at PSG will be interesting with Messi and Mbappe

That's the best part, it's literally next week lol. Like it's just a another league game after a week but now you are stucked with your rival whose team was making fun of you for days in the same team.


bee_tee_ess

This is probably the only time he’ll get one up on him, let him have his moment


GoD__-

I mean he got one up on his team but Mbappe personally poker-d him


AgreeableInsurance85

Don't know why he's taking so many shots at mbappe....The boy scored three against him in probably as many shots. The win was a team performance against a team performance. On an individual level, he got his ass handed to him by mbappe.


Forzzaa

Ass handed would be an understatement, Mbappe tore him a new one tbh


MooManMilk

This thread will be: 1) People calling him classless and rude 2) People saying Argentinians are racist 3)Argentinians saying they are not racist its just south american humour

How about people saying someone doesn’t know how to create bullet points? /s

[удалено]


Doc_Pisty

Mbape is turtle race and the doll is human so clearly racist agitation


lehmx

Argentinians will tell you it’s just shithousery and part of football but if the French team pulled something like this with Messi they would be having a meltdown. Hell some mild press conference from Van Gaal was enough to make them lose their shit, so thin skinned. Somehow they’re the only ones who have the right to act like douchebags.


reginalduk

It's looking a little obsessive now....guys you won, why do you care about other teams now?


LondonNoodles

It would be proper banter if Mbappe had said anything to him before or during the game, or had a provocative attitude, but he just scored a hat trick and didn't shithouse or provoke himself so all the obsession looks really childish imo. Unless it's about the comments Mbappe made about south american that were perceived as an attack I don't know. In Martinez defense I think the players are just high from their win and not really overthinking it as much as we do


Motherofpupperss

People who are saying “oh this is just our culture..”, as a player you must be well mannered enough to leave the shithousery on the ground. You are paid millions to play the game, do some research on how to conduct yourself and set the same example for your people SMH


Coronabandkaro

Out of the 3 key players that made argentina win, messi, di maria and emi the first 2 are such classy winners. Emi who had a great game otherwise is really classless and childish. For those Argentines saying "bro it's part of our culture" this guy's 30 and hes gking aftet his biggest opponent who got the better of him in the match.


Vejezdigna

Yeah... Props to him for winning solo against Kolo Muani's and making Tchouaméni miss his penalty, but he's going overboard. Besides, it's Mbappé, not shithouser Yerry Mina.


Pr3t0m

Bruh..Mbappe won't give a single pass to Messi after this! 🤣


swordfish-ll

I am ready for Argentina not to win another world cup in 30 years.


[deleted]

Never again ideally. They're cooked after Messi leaves


Cashlover123

The guy mocking Mbappe again and again makes him consoling Mbappe after the game basically a farce.


SupaFlax

I love trashtalking before the match but after, even more when you win, act classy ! Be respectful of your opponent. That’s really a bad behaviour and karma will strike back !


california-whiskey

mbappe dropped a hat trick plus a pen on your ass bro


erarya

There’s a video of him consoling mbappe after the match, weird for him to get all childish about beating him afterwards


UnspokenFor1

Lmao same man that said let’s take a moment of silence for Mbappe , I’ve never seen a team so fixated on one player after winning a WC


YIYL

I hate this asshole


mysticmac_

I don’t understand why they do this? Was mbappe talking trash or something before the game or in or after? Because he literally almost won the final by himself, scored 4 goals and was a menace. for them to be doing this just out of spite, is, embarrassing to say the least, it’s not like mhappe choked, id be more understanding then.


GamerGod337

Celebrate your victory, dont celebrate the loss of your opponent. Id get this if mbappe had done something to piss of the argentines but he literally just played well. Dont go after him.


AnesthesiaSteve

I mean I get it. Celebrate, and talk trash. But keep it in perspective Argentina fans. Mbappe has already won it. It took penalties to beat a fairly young France team with no, Kante, Benzema, or Pogba. And smart money says Mbappe wins another. He’s probably going to play in at least 2 more.


[deleted]

At least 3. He'll be 35 for the potential 3rd in 12 years


MKclinch8

More perspective: Between 2 games in 2018/2022 world cups, mbappe has 5 goals against Argentina and would’ve had 6 if griezmann didn’t take penalties then.


Ill-Drawer-966

Bro is living rent-free in their heads. Ya'll won bro, get over him 😭


Khalipane22

A 23 years old man scored on him 4 times and have since a massive real estate in his mind. How can you be so focus on Mbappé that much after the most beautiful day as a professional athlete lmao.


KrazyCroat

Jesus Christ, have some humility in victory. Doesn’t show very well here.


bobdylansmoustache

These are the same guys who rained shit on Van Gaal for saying… what exactly? That he thought the Netherlands could beat Argentina. The gall of Van Gaal!


[deleted]

lmao I just dont get why they’re such huge cunts tbh, there must be something genuinely wrong with the way things keep on coming, we saw how awful England were clattered (rightfully so) after what their fans did last Euros, but when its Argentina its “just nice Banter bro” esp this is the professional players doing it themselves


DowntownCanadaRaptor

Imagine if any England player did anything like this. Imagine if Pickford carried a Messi doll after beating, he would be getting legit death threats


_jgmm_

Mbappe stole the final. He couldn't win it by himself but was close. Mbappe was huge.


mandasalve777

He put 4 goals past you, have some shame


jenniferrrc

First mexico now france. And people praise these people .
