that kid is fucking mindblowingly good

and hes gonna be picked up by some club with a superb youth academy and become good at everything necessary+ insane technique
i mean he doesnt have to become the best player in the world but unless he becomes injured he will be a successful professional player.

also from what I can recall, almost every french national player, at least from the teams that won trophies, were born in france. (or territories belonging to france that do not have any national teams of their own)

edit : from searching around a little, vieira and makelele are both born outside france, I guess they were significant players. nobody else important though, and today it is also like 5% non-french-born. well, only vieira played in wc 98 and ec 2000, so that makes it one out of 20-ish players.

He may have skills but in order to make a living out of football

u need: discipline, discipline, luck , luck and connections..

So much depends on how well he will develop in his youth and how his environment is like..
ect.. injuries.. the list goes on..

that kid obviously has an instructor, he couldn't learn that on his own, those tricks are way too complex for a 6 year old, dunno how many times i heard that "The next Zidane" label by the French, i hope he too plays for Algeria that would be awesome

not really, since Aguero and Maradona are the respective's father and mother last names (Agüero is married to Maradona's daughter after all).

But yeah its kinda funny, he better become the best player ever or else he'll fail to his own name :S

Can you explain firstly how we would profit from that and secondly how we look shit right now? Our biggest problem is failing to perform, but we always look sick on the team sheets tbh xD.

I thought a lot of the french players with african roots were born in africa but it turns out I'm wrong. Can't really think of any other country who has a lot of players descending from its ex colonies so that's a bad point. England just doesn't produce home grown talent like Europe's other top national sides. And yes, England does always look good on paper, I should've said maybe they will actually perform to their potential. I still have faith in Capello though, Spain is just too good.

Be careful what you say dude, cos it'll get picked apart. By "always" you mean in the last 6 years, before that we were average.

In fact I don't think our team sheet is sick anymore. It WAS an awesome team back when we had Sven the retard and fucking Steve McClaren.

When you think of a team from Cambell, Rio, Cole, Terry, G.Neville, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Joe Cole, Carrick, Rooney, Owen; it sounds fucking awesome but they just never fulfilled the hype.

Right now it's a decent side but nothing special. Owen's career has floundered and he looks nothing like his Baloon D'or winning best. We lack decent strikers and all of that legendary midfield is past it.

I don't know where that rumour came from but it's just not true at all.
If you'd said we don't produce great managers, I would have agreed wholeheartedly.

look sick on the teamsheet? yea, if we ignore the goalkeeper then in certain games those 10 do look like they can take on anyone.

It is not Sven's fault when players can't fucking take penalties or no england keeper has manage to save a single one during a major tournament (in my memory, probably not correct but it does feel that way).

I don't think I have seen campbell and terry play together, but it probably doesn't matter. Until today I fail to see how Lampard is so call 'world class' and I have to say that a lot of the time, it's not about performing to potential but rather finding the inspiration to win a match. Every team got plenty of potential, but it is the extra class and a moment of genius that will carry the team through in dire situations. I am sorry to say that nearly all of the england player doesn't know the word creativity and maybe even flair.
