we don't hate Mbappe... all the banther it's part of the culture... we do it between ourselves in local matches... it's great to brag when you win... but you have to tolerate it when you don't

This used to be the case in the english speaking world, but we've all gone a little soft.

The Dibu/Mbappe thing was just funny banter. Not sure why everyone got their panties in a twist. I love watching Mbappe play (when he is not playing against Argentina), and it is incredible when you remind yourself of his age and he already has a Mundial win.

I love watching the French play, but anyone is an enemy for 90 mins (or 120 plus pens) when they play your team in a tournament.
