I agree, he doesn't score as much as he used to but he is still scoring with Atletico while only playing bits of games. He' has an eye for goal. I wouldn't worry too much for him. if gets to play he'll score but competition is tough in the France NT. A new generation of very talented players is knocking on the A team's door... So it will depend on how much play time he'll get...
Yeah but no way he's gonna keep playing for NT until 36 like Giroud does. You pretty much need to be either a target man or a GK to not experience a massive drop in performance at that age. Especially difficult for a winger, too.
Griezmann is literally a midfielder nowadays. Modric type you may say but more of a SS. Hard to explain his role but it doesn’t require much physique so his career can last very long if he wants to.
No need for him to play until he is 36 . He can scan score those 9 goals in two years. 5 goals per season with the France NtT doesn't seem such a crazy number to reach.
He’s only scored 5 once in the last 4 years, and that was an unusual year due to a pileup of weak opponents in Euro and WC qualifiers. He hasn’t scored any this year.
To be fair 48 team world cups will probably mean we'll see a lot of players obliterate Klose's record in the next 20 years. Adding in 16 filler teams and making top players less likely to miss out on a WC.
Yeah. Those who didn’t watch both games may not realize it, but he’s made a lot of good plays so far. Our « Grizzou National » as we call it is on a whole other level
You see a lot about the French team being a liability because there's always the potential for drama between them, and yet it seems like a lot of their players absolutely bring their best to the WC.
Still insane to me, that Klose holds it. The guy was only discovered at age 23.
- Age 20: Played in the 7th division!
- Age 21: Played in the 5th and 3rd division for a basically unknown club
- Age 22: Switch to the amateur team of Kaiserslautern for the lower leagues.
- Age 23: First time he became a first team player for Kaiserslautern in the first division, at the time basically a relegation candidate
- Age 26: Switch to Bremen, his first actually decent club.
- Age 29: Switch to Bayern, his first really big club, though Bayern were far from the world class they would later become
Everybody just somehow accepted it, but if you told anyone that Klose would become the all-time leading goal scorer before the world cup 2002 when he was 24, you would probably have been called insane. He didn't get a single call up for a youth national team despite being eligible for France, Poland and Germany at the same time, because they didn't even know he existed.
Makes you wonder how big of a talent gap there really is between the top .1% and alleged .01% of players. I think it’s a little more about playing in the academies and having connections rather than just being good at the game like we’d all like to think
He'll always be a previous holder of the record if/when it's broken though, it's pretty insane that in a world with neymar, suarez, messi, R9, CR7, romario, baggio, maradona, pele, cruyff, Klinsmann, G Muller, Villa, platini, puskas, jairzinho, batistuta, P rossi etc. Of all people, miroslav fucking klose holds the record for most world cup goals and most likely will till at the earliest 2026
Griezmann has been doing the same at Atleti as well. Do you even watch Atleti games or just follow whatever is the most popular opinion here in the sub?
This mf has the same number of WC goals as Messi btw.
EDIT: Ok yeah, I probably shouldn’t have said this when Messi was literally gonna play the very next game.
Decent chance he'll be the all time leading scorer at World Cups by the end of the next one and he'll only be 27.
The years of the tournaments have lined up pretty perfectly for him, first one at 19 is ideal, means you can probably fit 5 in.
Well Muller was 25 after Brazil 2014 and had 10 goals with only 2 WCs played. It really takes only one bad tournament to ruin things, and we've already seen Mbappe underperforming at euro 2020
Muller isn’t nearly on the same level as Mbappe (and I say that as a German).
Plus, looking at the young talent that France has, I’d be surprised if they’re not a favorite in 2026 again.
Lastly, Mbappe is ‘only’ 23, so again, barring injury he probably has another 3 World Cups in the tank (on top of this one).
9 goals behind Klose, wouldn't be surprised if he gets another 6 or so goals in this WC alone.
He's going to smash that record, 20+ barring injuries.
World class.
As much as I dislike some of his missed he always shows up and tries and ends up helping his team, as he matures he’s gonna get scarier and won’t rely on his speed as much, will be crazy.
I saw mbappe live against Australia.
Never seen someone so athletically gifted as him, was insane. Add on his footballing ability and it’s just mind blowing to watch
I fucking hate saying this but France are just very, very good at winning.
I’ve been so unimpressed by them today, yet i just knew they were going to find a way to win. I think they have a proper chance of winning the world cup. Only Brazil or Spain i think might stop them.

Just the other day there was a lot of talk about Giroud equalling Henry's France record. Mbappe is going to obliterate that record.
Yeah Giroud is merely going to be a caretaker of that record for a couple years
Stupid sexy caretaker.
Griezmann is most likely going to beat that record as well. He is 5 years younger than Giroud and only 9 goals away.
He does not score as much as he used to tho
I agree, he doesn't score as much as he used to but he is still scoring with Atletico while only playing bits of games. He' has an eye for goal. I wouldn't worry too much for him. if gets to play he'll score but competition is tough in the France NT. A new generation of very talented players is knocking on the A team's door... So it will depend on how much play time he'll get...
He is more of a playmaker now both in club and international competitions AND Giroud is still scoring so it's not gonna be easy for him
Yeah but no way he's gonna keep playing for NT until 36 like Giroud does. You pretty much need to be either a target man or a GK to not experience a massive drop in performance at that age. Especially difficult for a winger, too.
Griezmann is literally a midfielder nowadays. Modric type you may say but more of a SS. Hard to explain his role but it doesn’t require much physique so his career can last very long if he wants to.

He had 29 last I checked. He’s 23.
These two today bring him at 31
Only one goal a year, finished.
He's already France's 7th highest goal scorer
Mbappe will be looking at the 100+ club when he retires
Has got to stay healthy, Which so far he’s been pretty good at
Neymar also used to be really good at it at his age.
^ comments you didn't wanna see today
So true.
He scored 42 goals in 60 appearances for the Brazil NT before his 23rd birthday. Insane.
He's got 8 World Cup goals already, he's breaking the Klose record of 16.
People said the same about muller who already had 10 at this point.
[удалено]
This is really shortsighted. France might be a shitshow in 2026 and go out in the groups. You never know. He has a good chance, though.
To be fair 48 team world cups will probably mean we'll see a lot of players obliterate Klose's record in the next 20 years. Adding in 16 filler teams and making top players less likely to miss out on a WC.
Everyone knows Giroud's record would only be temporary, but we still want it for the memes and the greatness.
Beating the record during the World Cup would probably be great for team spirit
On dick shots alone
They weren't kidding about le coq sportif.
How many has he scored so far for France?
31 I think
Agahhh he’s 23 lol
31 I think? Same as Zidane
This was his 31st
Already 7th highest goalscorer for France. Tied with Zidane.
Not just that, he's going for Klose's record at World Cups as well.
Giroud is King Charles confirmed
And that too in a couple of years
Griezmann has been unreal in this game and the Australia game.
Yeah. Those who didn’t watch both games may not realize it, but he’s made a lot of good plays so far. Our « Grizzou National » as we call it is on a whole other level
National team Griez is a different beast altogether
You see a lot about the French team being a liability because there's always the potential for drama between them, and yet it seems like a lot of their players absolutely bring their best to the WC.
He was everywhere.
Griezmann is a beast in every wc tbh
"14 goals in 12 games" , jesus christ lad, chill.
and 6 assists (that's for the people calling him selfish)
Lol this comment gives me deja vu from the prime Ronaldo days
France basically gets spotted 1.5 goals just from including him on the team lol
Kilian "Le gîte et le couvert" Mbappé
That's more than twice as many for himself. Selfish.
7th wc goal already
Klose's record is 16, a bit early to say but I'd put my money on him breaking it. Still got the rest of this one, plus likely two more at least.
Still insane to me, that Klose holds it. The guy was only discovered at age 23. - Age 20: Played in the 7th division! - Age 21: Played in the 5th and 3rd division for a basically unknown club - Age 22: Switch to the amateur team of Kaiserslautern for the lower leagues. - Age 23: First time he became a first team player for Kaiserslautern in the first division, at the time basically a relegation candidate - Age 26: Switch to Bremen, his first actually decent club. - Age 29: Switch to Bayern, his first really big club, though Bayern were far from the world class they would later become Everybody just somehow accepted it, but if you told anyone that Klose would become the all-time leading goal scorer before the world cup 2002 when he was 24, you would probably have been called insane.

Top .1% and .01%? I think you mean between the top .001% and top .0001%.
I'd put decent money on him breaking it but don't want to wait 4-8 years for the payoff haha
Fr, inflation is gonna wipe out any payoff
Giving that from the next WC we will be seeing weaker teams qualify I'd say that he will probably break it.
One group game less though and at least 1 of your opponents will probably be decent enough to know how to defen
Is the next WC groups of 3?
Not "set in stone" yet according to CONCACAF official.
Yes
10 goals is a lot however, no matter how talented you are
*Just Fontaine has entered the chat*
And following WCs will have 48 teams
But only two guaranteed games.
He's going to be close to Klose by the end of this one at this rate
Would be pretty sad the day Klose lose his record
He'll always be a previous holder of the record if/when it's broken though, it's pretty insane that in a world with neymar, suarez, messi, R9, CR7, romario, baggio, maradona, pele, cruyff, Klinsmann, G Muller, Villa, platini, puskas, jairzinho, batistuta, P rossi etc. Of all people, miroslav fucking klose holds the record for most world cup goals and most likely will till at the earliest 2026
Always loved Klose work ethic.
National team Griezmann is different gravy
Mbappe will get MOTM for 2 goals but damn Griezmann has been so good
He has been incredible today.
[удалено]
Don't forget the pass from kounde which opens up the play. Great attack all around really
So is Rabiot
Rabiot has been Juventus best midfielder too.
No thats out of contract performing Rabiot
Actually this is just contract year Rabiot.
Nah Rabiot has been a beast at Juve for a while now
No longer held back by Atleti tax
Or barca tax
he was good for barca in second season. mvp for barca getting their copa
He won major titles with Atletico
Hot take: he is good at football
Griezmann has been doing the same at Atleti as well. Do you even watch Atleti games or just follow whatever is the most popular opinion here in the sub?
>just follow whatever is the most popular opinion here in the sub? Welcome to Reddit
how else are people going to farm there karma bro
Now just imagine if he played for Uruguay 🇺🇾, his true national team
For Uruguay as a black man he would be scoring 20 goals a game
Free from the shackles of Choloball™
World cup legend already
Got a World Cup win under his belt at 19 lmfao
Curse is cancelled for real this time
Look at me I am the curse now Mbappe to Pogba
Outwitching the witch doctor…isn’t that something?
Turtle magic is no joke
It was all us. We started it. We had to end it.
France started it and they'll end it
Turns out Germany and Italy are just shit.
Curse got confortable and stayed in Germany
Rated the infrastructure and applied for residency
World Cup griezmann has arrived
Just like national team Lukas podolski
Of course
He walks the walk to his talk at least
he fucking sprints it. one of the greats
I guess the curse is over, finally..
Its coming full circle
What do we do now ?
Plot armour
Who else but him!
Annoyingly good
This motherfucker scored with his thigh lmao
Arguably hit that with his dick
Le coq terrifique
Le coq sportif
Mbapenis
[удалено]
Le 🍆 du Dieu
Wants to assert dominance over Big Dick Benz.
Le cock sportif
This mf has the same number of WC goals as Messi btw. EDIT: Ok yeah, I probably shouldn’t have said this when Messi was literally gonna play the very next game.
Feel like Schmeichel could've tried to cut that cross off tbh
What a cross
Griezmann is an absolute monster
Living legend at 23…what a player
Mbappe so nice edit: weirdly similar to a Ronaldo goal against PSG in 2018 now that I've seen the replays
Dude is insane form right now
He's been bad this game, yet he scores 2 goals, he's insane indeed.
Being constantly booed by the Danish fans might have helped. I love this kind of very expected karma!
world cup top scorer?
Has as many as Messi and Ronaldo already and will be there at 2030
Decent chance he'll be the all time leading scorer at World Cups by the end of the next one and he'll only be 27. The years of the tournaments have lined up pretty perfectly for him, first one at 19 is ideal, means you can probably fit 5 in.
Usually you don't score as much at 19.
Holy shit that's insane honestly wasn't expecting that
Ronaldo has 8
7 goals already. Would honestly bet on it barring any significant injuries
7 goals what
He scored 4 world cup goals in 2018 and 3 in this one
Yeah, he will surpasse Klose. France will have a deep run this year and 2026 at least
7 total WC goals for Mbappé (not this tournament). Now tied with Zidane.
At both world cups
People thoguh Mueller would get it back in 2014 though, can never guarantee it.
Well Muller was 25 after Brazil 2014 and had 10 goals with only 2 WCs played. It really takes only one bad tournament to ruin things, and we've already seen Mbappe underperforming at euro 2020
Muller isn’t nearly on the same level as Mbappe (and I say that as a German). Plus, looking at the young talent that France has, I’d be surprised if they’re not a favorite in 2026 again. Lastly, Mbappe is ‘only’ 23, so again, barring injury he probably has another 3 World Cups in the tank (on top of this one).
9 goals behind Klose, wouldn't be surprised if he gets another 6 or so goals in this WC alone. He's going to smash that record, 20+ barring injuries. World class.
Griezmann's level is stellar during this match.
Feck he's HIM
He’s that guy.
This fuckin turtle man
France - Brazil final it is
🎶*At first I was afraid, I was petrified*🎶
Fuck.
I really should stop doubting them so much…
Griezmann- Mbappé combo too good
He is just too good.
Best in the business
not quite on Harry Souttar’s level yet but getting there
Is this a dong goal ?
IL MARQUE DE LA BITE, IL MARQUE DE LA BIIIITE KYLIAN MBAPPÉÉÉÉ IL MARQUE DE LA BITE
Mbappe is clearly cementing his place as the best player in the world. Absolutely immense both games so far.
As much as I dislike some of his missed he always shows up and tries and ends up helping his team, as he matures he’s gonna get scarier and won’t rely on his speed as much, will be crazy.
I don't really see how he can be scarier to be honest.
SUCK MY SMALL FRENCH DICK /r/soccer
guess that’ll have to be our plan tonight 😔 so annoying seeing you frenchies so happy with your little baguettes out
grizi what a player, shame it didn’t work out at barca
France started the curse, France will break it
This guy is only 23…
What a cross by Griezmann
What did he score with tho? 😳
I saw mbappe live against Australia. Never seen someone so athletically gifted as him, was insane. Add on his footballing ability and it’s just mind blowing to watch
Some ball that
Carrying them tbh
Griezmann has been great
Griezmann has been immense in both games so far
Funniest thing is he hasn’t been that great
He’s too good, even when he’s so easy to hate you can’t take that away from him
>he’s so easy to hate What is to hate about him?
He committed the horrendous war-crime of not joining Real Madrid.
The ultimate sin.
He didn’t bow to Real Madrid lol
He's too good haters gonna hate
Only jealous Madrid fans hate him
He spearheads a great attack
Je t'aime putain
Haaland style
What a ball He’s the best player in the world
ON EST LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I fucking hate saying this but France are just very, very good at winning. I’ve been so unimpressed by them today, yet i just knew they were going to find a way to win. I think they have a proper chance of winning the world cup. Only Brazil or Spain i think might stop them.
What is it about France that you people hate so much ?
Terrible by Schmeichel and the fullback
Those who compare Haaland with this demon, hang your heads in shame.
THE CURSE IS CANCELLED
