Some thoughts regarding Saturday

The elevation of Mbappe into a kind of mythical beast reminds me of our fear of Jonah Lomu before the 95 Rugby WC Semi.
Problem is, Lomu lived up to it and destroyed us.

Ooft, he didn't half!🤣
Possibly the only time I've seen a sportsman literally unplayable.
So far...
 
Aye, that didn't quite fit with my sequence of amazing coincidences. So i conveniently left it out!😂
Also Mbappe is good but he's no Maradona...
I'm too young to remember 86 well but surely before the 86 QF Maradona wasn't yet 'Maradona' if you know what I mean? I mean he was regarded as a fantastic player but he hadn't done most of what led him to be seen as arguably the greatest ever.

He was regarded as potentially the best player in the world, but you're right he hadn't quite proved it yet. Really the England game and that goal was the moment he arrived as a global superstar.
