First of all you didn't hear it because it's text so you're already wrong. Also you're wrong about Dembele (imo). When he is in top form, a handful of games per season, mind, he is hands down a better and more dangerous forward than Mbappe is. It only sounds controversial because you haven't seen him play.One of the dumbest things i've ever heard.
More nonsense, i watch la liga often, and i have seen more than enough of Dembele to know he isn't some misunderstood genius.First of all you didn't hear it because it's text so you're already wrong.

Mbappe is leagues ahead of Sterling. You’re speaking in hindsight after 4 games have happened. Coming into the tournament, no sane human would have picked Sterling to start ahead of Mbappe. That’s just ludicrous.Because Sterling is having a wonderful tournament while Mbappe had been dogshit?
I don't agree with this tbf. International tournaments should never have so much influence in a player's ability. Shaqiri has had a better Euros than Bruno, by far too. You'd be hard done finding many people who would take Shaqiri over Bruno.Because Sterling is having a wonderful tournament while Mbappe had been dogshit?
Mbappe scored 1 goal in Frances last 8 (missed 2 to injury tbf) before the Euros and that was against 10 man Wales. So now its 1 in 12. Its a continuation, not an anomoly.Mbappe is leagues ahead of Sterling. You’re speaking in hindsight after 4 games have happened.

Only on the cafe could you see this.Mbappe scored something like 40 goals this season, there’s no way any manager would drop him for Sterling going into the tournament.
You’re speaking as if all these international games happened consecutively. In between Sterling’s record for England (it’s impressive I must admit), he was absolutely dog water for City for the most part while Mbappe was pretty impressive for PSG and finished as their topscorer.Mbappe scored 1 goal in Frances last 8 (missed 2 to injury tbf) before the Euros and that was against 10 man Wales.

What was Sterling before this summer, 10 in 15 or something stupid?
Sterling would bench both Mbappe and Rashford if they were in the same squad.
I think we are getting lost in the trees here. I was responding to a point mocking Rashford for not getting into this England side. Since 2019 Mbappe has scored 1 goal for France. Seeing how Southgate rewards players form for England, there is no way he would drop Sterling for Mbappe. Especially when we see Grealish, Foden and Sancho on the bench who all had played just as well at Mbappe did last season. Southgate isnt suddenly to change that for an underperforming Mbappe who has suddenly stalled on the international stage so Rashford being being this Sterling isnt the laughable point it was made out to beYou’re speaking as if all these international games happened consecutively.

There’s no way Sterling was in better form coming into this tournament.
Mbappe played with France 48 games. The game against Wales was his 42th cap.Mbappe scored 1 goal in Frances last 8 (missed 2 to injury tbf) before the Euros and that was against 10 man Wales. So now its 1 in 12. Its a continuation, not an anomoly.

1 in 12! It doesnt matter what he did 3 years ago, thats not the point I'm making.Mbappe played with France 48 games. The game against Wales was his 42th cap.
I agree that if I remove all the games he scored a goal, then his stats would be a very sad continuation, not an anomaly.
Your point is valid but the player is not an alien like Messi and Cristiano.1 in 12! It doesnt matter what he did 3 years ago, thats not the point I'm making.
It’s also easy to score a couple of tap ins and be considered to be one of the best players at the tournament. Mbappe’s borderline offside goal was higher quality than anything Sterling has produced, but those are the margins in tournaments.Form at international level is a funny thing. Sterling has had two long barren spells in his England career and been called England's best player in between them. Sometimes it takes a year or two before you even realise a player has been in good or bad form for their country.
He is already in the history tbh but I know what you mean.Needs 5 more goals to go down world cup history
