This is the Best of the Herd with Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio. Oh, today's a day. England. You'll get your first look at England. Portugal and Ronaldo today. Could it top yesterday? World Cup. The network that actually discusses it. Welcome back. It is great to be here. And I've said this before, I would be viewed as a casual, although some of the guys on my staff are all in all the time. But American soccer fans, you know, a little bit of a chip on their shoulder.
They feel ignored. There's no reason to mock them. You know what? This is a great time, and they're going to make sure you understand how much they know. But yesterday is a prime example. Stars carry teams. It is beyond schemes. Let's talk Messi. Like a Jalen Brunson in the fourth quarter, he is the system. He took over. Yesterday, we saw three superstars shining three different ways at three different moments in their career. Let's start with Messi. 38 years old, three goals, Argentina debuts group stage. He's only 5'7", 150 pounds. but he is probably technically the greatest player arguably ever. Beautiful, IQ, there's a smoothness to his flow. These are not schemes, play design, they are talent. He is so good on the ball, the ability to manipulate space,
Timing, angles, passing, dribbling. There's a little Steph Curry resemblance. He looks different. Then there's Mbappe.
How do Messi, Mbappe, and Haaland compare as soccer superstars?
He, unlike Messi, is now in his athletic prime. 27. A little like an NFL wide receiver in terms of speed and agility, strong, athletic, can just outrace people. 14 World Cup goals in 15 World Cup matches doesn't even make sense. That's why France are favorites now. American fans can kind of relate to him. He is just a world-class athlete in his prime, consistently making dynamic plays. When the ball comes off his foot, it looks different.
