I mean, apparently drink copiously and fail an IQ test.

I mean, I always think these comparing across generation things are really difficult because not only does the standard of play come up as there's more talent globally, but the game changes in terms of the amount of goals scored, the way attacking is done.

But for me with Mbappé,

I think the mediocrity of the Real Madrid team has obscured his brilliance and the extent to which he is the best player in the world and has everything in his game.

And he's going to be the all-time World Cup leading scorer and probably going to win his second World Cup.

So, you know, I don't know what else you have to do if you're Kylian Mbappe to prove to people that you are one of the all-time greats.

Do you see Wayne Rooney when you close your eyes?

I do, oftentimes, yeah.

Or is it just the Shrek movies?

Do you think he's aging gracefully?

Not necessarily.

I mean, I think France will get to the final.

I do think Spain-France is an interesting matchup if that's what we get.

And obviously Spain beat France in a semifinal in the Euros last time around, but a very different France team where they went more defensive with their midfield.

They didn't lean in their attacking identity, and I don't think they'll make that mistake this time.

As for Argentina...

I don't think it's by any means a foregone conclusion.

This is an Argentina team that kind of had to rescue themselves against Cabo Verde and had to rescue themselves, as some would say, with the help of the referees, against Morocco.

And they could be staring down the barrel of England in a semifinal and famously have never had any success against them in the World Cup.

I'm kidding.
