So let's get this straight. This guy was struggling as a winger. Won a ballon d'Or as a striker and you expect ballon d'Or Level play from him as a winger. That makes no sense.
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: L’Équipe have absolutely DESTROYED Ousmane Dembélé following his performance for France.
“His numbers for France show an ever-growing gap between his reputation and the international reality.
“13 goals in 71 caps. It is a real DISASTER, a miserable return, these are statistics of a supporting player.
“Dembélé had FIVE shots, more than any other French player, without getting a SINGLE one on target.
“He also lost possession 22 TIMES, the worst record of the night.
“In 30 minutes, Joaquin Seys saw a thousand times more stars against Olise than during the previous hour against Dembélé.”
L’Équipe even suggests that the BENCH could become Dembélé’s position when Kylian Mbappé returns.
by that logic a certain someone who was your former teammate would not have 5
🚨 XABI ALONSO JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL ON THE BALLON D’OR
🎙️Reporter: “Xabi, what do you think about the Ballon d’Or nominations? Who do you believe deserves to win?”
Xabi Alonso:🗣️ “For me, the Ballon d’Or has never been only about statistics, goals or assists. It is also about character, leadership, mentality and the way you carry yourself as a footballer.
“When I hear Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé speak about the Ballon d’Or as if it is something they are entitled to, I disagree with that mentality. The Ballon d’Or is an honour. It is not a player’s right.
“Yamal is an extraordinary talent and Mbappé is one of the best players in the world. But talent and reputation alone should not guarantee you this award.
“If you ask me who deserves it based on the complete picture, I would say Harry Kane or Michael Olise. They have shown quality, consistency, mentality and the character you expect from a Ballon d’Or winner.
“You cannot simply assume that because you are Lamine Yamal or Kylian Mbappé, the award should belong to you. That is not how I understand the Ballon d’Or.
“The best player is not necessarily the person who talks the loudest about winning it. Sometimes, the player who deserves the recognition is the one who lets his football speak for him.”
With all due respect to one of the goats, but you could watch his stream muted and still get 90% of the entertainment value because you watch him for his skill not his ability to talk or interact with chat.
this is what asmon is trying to do. he is not inerested in playing this game at all. he wants to get banned by blizzard and then farm the outrage over that. he will act like he was done dirty even though he is happy he doesnt have to play and his fans will raise the pitchforks.
Says the guy who was all kikiki hugging bron after he got eliminated by him
Draymond on Wemby not shaking hands with the Brunson after the Finals:
“Look your killer in the face… if you leave the court and you don’t look me in my face and I just beat you. I actually know that I own you forever.”

since you like history and stats.
ronaldo vs messi ronaldo has him beat in champions league titles 5 -4 and thats it.
domestic titles when they both played in the spanish league: messi 10 to ronaldo 2.
messi has 46 total trophies won vs ronaldo 35.
ballon d'or: messi 8 - ronaldo 5, but wait that is voted by journalists so it is subjective.
ok lets use an objective metric and we pick the one that ronaldo is best in. goal scoring titles golden boots: messi 6- ronaldo 4.
"how long have you been playing the football"
"do you know a lot about football?"
"what is your favourite bottled water brand?"
"do you like olivia rodrigo?"
"who is the worst smelling NFL player?"
ESPN reporters:
this is easy to prove. check the vods when Maya was there and if Kaya was wearing the same collar.
There is no way that Maya a) doesnt recognize a shock collar and b) would be fine with that. i wont get gaslit into believing Maya knows about this.
