Excessive and not entertaining to humiliate a modest opponent. To me this is not sportsmanship

[–] holaprobando123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Is this the ultra high level competition Mbappé was talking about last year?

[–] veryInterestingChair@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I thought this was rugby for a second.

[–] o7loriduh@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Stupid sexy Giroud in there at the end.

[–] gunnychamero@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yup,Mbappe is right, there is no comparison between South American and European qualifications.

[–] jonviggo89@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Beating the precedent record, 10-0 against Azerbaidjan in Auxerre during the qualifications of the 1996 Euro with the third goal of Zidane with the French National team

I fucking hate American sports but I can see why they sometimes have a mercy rule

[–] Tomm1998@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Mercy rule seems even worse than just losing badly ordinarily. Imagine getting beat so bad there's a rule that exists just to stop you from getting beat even harder... That's so much more embarrassing imo

[–] waferistdisciple@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Kylian Mbappé, one of the world’s best, up against a goalkeeper that couldn’t even nail no. 1 at the mighty Liversedge

[–] JuangaBricks@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Giroud still killing it

[–] Aleblanco1987@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This isn't even funny

[–] TeganFFS@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Shooting low against that keeper is a cheat code

[–] Trickybuz93@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No Benzema to score the 15th

[–] CaptnRo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Let them have it, the French don’t often win!

[–] PPGalleta@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

European football seems a lot harder that latin american(?)

[–] Zefyris@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You know the role of the qualifiers in a competition is literally to eliminate teams that aren't going to be competitive in the main event right?

[–] No_Field90@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Broo gibraltar is smaller than a goodwill parking lot lol.

[–] CommissionOk4384@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This isnt the comeback to the argument you think it is

[–] Dipsey_Jipsey@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

If it wasn't for that own goal it would have been a completely different game.

[–] Robcobes@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They scored three times within 4 minutes. Wow.

[–] Mrgray123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

In the days when the tournament was just 8 teams, qualifying rounds definitely made sense. Even, at a stretch, when it was bumped up to 16. With 24 teams the qualifying now seems a little less important. I don't think that scores like this help anything apart from to pad the record books. Competition should have at least the faint prospect that either side could win, otherwise its more like an exhibition match than anything with a real consequence.

[–] Pixeal_meat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lord Mbappe hattick 🫂

[–] ComingOffaSuspension@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This issue the exciting international break we get. So worth it /s

[–] Luke92612_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lmao Owen Goal striking in the 3rd Minute.

[–] greenfrogwallet@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Games like these are why all international goalscoring records are getting beaten more and more easily, still impressive but means a lot less and shouldn’t be used to compare current day players with players of yesteryear.

[–] yanqui04@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What was Mbappe saying about the quality of European football compared to CONMEBOL, again?

[–] Augchm@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Remember that Mbappe said international European football has higher competition.

[–] HSW26@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

mbappe only scored 3? what a disgrace

[–] RoVRossi@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The level of stat padding in Europe is off the charts.

[–] ajellis92@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Gibraltar aside, it’s good to see Coman having himself a good season.

[–] Portugeezer1893@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Watching the highlights felt like watching a crime against humanity.

I get that Gibraltar has the right to play with their team in this qualification stage, but at some point you should have the self awareness that you're tragically shht.

[–] Zenkai2727@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Man, if I was a pro-footballer, born in gibraltar, I'd honestly make sure to cross the border and register my ass in spain to avoid being called for national duty if this is the "nation's future" lol

[–] user900800700@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sad tbh that the had to play full strength for what

[–] Tiny-Appointment9917@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

!flair :Inter_Milan:

[–] Underscores_Are_Kool@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Just put the 4 worst ranked European teams in a 4 team knockout competition to see who goes into the group stages. This is ridiculous

[–] Mintopforte@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Gibs aren’t footballing nation. It’s like Indonesia playing Australia in cricket

[–] xckd9@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Is that Santa?

[–] ImpressiveSavings776@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Well dune, he's 13

[–] RyanMcCartney@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The goalie gets an 89th and 91st minute goal just to rub salt in the wounds!

[–] tobinatorrr@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Actually benzema scored the 15th goal for france in the 94th min. For more info google benzema 15

[–] Cardinal101@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

A shameful win.

[–] myteamwearsred@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What happened between 37' and 63', was the game on hold?

[–] propane2L@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Every 4 years for these game I empty all my accounts to bet

It pays my christmas presents

[–] -chavana-@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Taika Waititi furiously taking notes

[–] PonchoKumato@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

damn all of the french squad scored except for the goalkeeper + 1 (assuming there weren't substitutions but i'm too tipsy to check rn)

[–] stpstrt@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

An own goal in under 4 minutes as well lol

[–] pargofan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Anyone know where I can find a recording of this game?

[–] cutarra@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This format makes no sense to me. Even in Concacaf we don't see a USA vs British Virgin Islands.

This format needs to change so the small teams play against each other. If they're good enough they can classify to a upper round to play with the bigger teams.

[–] momspaghetty@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

RemindMe! 5 years

[–] TommyManners@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What is the point
