2026 FIFA World Cup - General Chat

[LinekersLegs]

Not sure how many have followed recent storyline regarding Mbappé's ego and ghosting Kanté but this clip encapsulates it all

Clearly illustrates no love lost between two but more interesting is how much ego there is in player to refuse to even engage during substitution much less receive the captain's arm band...from another captain

Of course, also a great advert for Les Bleus and what is often their chronic issue - arrogance & lack of unity

The France team going on strike in South Africa was wild

Random use of the Hereditary soundtrack at the end as well
