@ESPNFC Say what you want about Mbappe as a person. The guy is the best player in the world. Not just because of his numbers, but because is the type of player you pay a ticket to watch. Is pure entertaining and joy.
France is the country with most talent in the world of football.
@ESPNFC Mbappe is so much better than
Haaland. Anyone who disagrees is 12 years old or follows the media hype
@ESPNFC His ego is going to keep being an issue with his club but the man is a hell of a player
@TclarkIV @ESPNFC Hard not to have an ego with such talent. It is like expecting, Mike Tyson, Conor Mcgregor or Jon Jones not to have an ego. Not possible to stay humble with such talent.
@ESPNFC Mbappe is a much better “footballer” than Haaland. If you disagree, you don’t know ball.
@ESPNFC In my opinion he is one of the best in the world and so far the most entertaining player to watch in World Cup! What a talent?!!🥰
@ESPNFC Best player in the whole wide world
France are the current holders of the FIFA World Cup trophy. While they are expected to contend again, their pick of six points in two games has exceeded expectations.
Their blistering form has seen them enter the knockout stages of the tournament, and it's all thanks to Mbappe, who has scored in both games.
The forward's form for Les Bleus is hardly surprising, as he has been an undroppable player since he burst onto the scene in 2017. He helped them to the trophy at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, scoring four goals.
Didier Deschamps will be banking on the forward to repeat the effort in the upcoming games.

The first half saw the Danes hold on for dear life as they were hounded over and over again by the French side. However, they could do little to stop the second-half onslaught. Paris Saint-Germain's attacker Mbappe led the charge on the night with a remarkable effort just after the hour.
He delighted the fans with a brilliant one-two with Theo Hernandez, who provided the return ball for him to latch on and put past the goalkeeper.
Denmark equalized from a corner routine, with Andreas Christensen powering in a header, but the Danes could not celebrate for long.
Close to stoppage time, Kylian Mbappe struck once more, putting France ahead and sealing their seat in the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup. The forward timed his run effortlessly, beating the offside trap to score from Antoine Griezmann's accurate cross into the far post.
France will play their final 2022 FIFA World Cup group game against Tunisia on November 30.
