!flair :Inter_Milan:

Sad tbh that the had to play full strength for what

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

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.

RemindMe! 5 years

Hey

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

Is that Santa?

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

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.

Well dune, he's 13

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

No Benzema to score the 15th

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

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

Remember that Mbappe said international European football has higher competition.

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

They scored three times within 4 minutes. Wow.

Lmao Owen Goal striking in the 3rd Minute.

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

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

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

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

Stupid sexy Giroud in there at the end.

Shooting low against that keeper is a cheat code

Giroud still killing it

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

This isn't even funny

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

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

European qualifiers are a joke

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

mbappe only scored 3? what a disgrace

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

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

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.

Lord Mbappe hattick 🫂

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.

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

A shameful win.

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

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

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

It pays my christmas presents

I thought this was rugby for a second.

Taika Waititi furiously taking notes

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)

An own goal in under 4 minutes as well lol
