Calling a 16 year old kid ‘naive’ after watching him score an absolute worldie, beat France, and make it to a Euro final is one of the most jealous things I’ve ever heard.

Seeing Yamal score that goal infront of Rabiot's face making him turn around & watch it go in... priceless 😂 😈💀

What I love about Lamine is that it's not about speed and acceleration, rather his skill on the ball and crosses and dribbling and distribution.

The difference between Yamal and Dembele in their final ball and decision making is just… insane!

I just hope yamal stays humble and injury free bc being that good at that age yk sometimes money brainwashes them

Trust me, Lamine will be competing for the Ballon d'Or in the next 2, 3 years..He might potentially become the youngest Ballon d'Or winner, he's something else 💙❤️🔥🪄

Yamal isnt naive. Obv, he brings in his teenage flare at club level, but in this tournament, he has shown his incredible maturity. Spain are blessed to have him.

England have played just 2 finals if we combine euro and fifa wc 1966 and 2020 But their fans behave as if england has won 7 fifa wc and 5 euros

In Spanish there's a better word for it, 'desparpajo', he is confident and fearless, not naive.

Is Yamal naive!?! Are you F’ing kidding me. The passes he was making and his IQ in defense was at a level of someone who has 100 caps! Adrenaline helps goe the first 20 minutes of a game and then you settle into your highest level of training and skill. Yamal is in complete control of his game and will be one of the best player in the world in 5-6 years.

The best thing that happened to Barca in a while is Dembele forcing his way out, there comes the Great Yamal.

Naivety??? What's that?? The kid is insanely brilliant..His ball control, dribbling skills, playmaking skills, decision making and curlings are incredible..The kid is something else, Generational talent 🪄

Ousmane Dembele is 27 years old, yet every time I watch him play, he’s playing as if he’s a kid playing a pickup game and he’s a professional footballer. How much longer are we gonna continue to give Dembele excuses when it’s been the exact same story for him at both club and international level and the guy isn’t even getting injured anymore and he still plays like a League Two player outside of a couple of dribbles. When it comes to dribbling past other defenders 1v1 and what he does on the ball, that part makes him a good winger, but when it comes to his end product like his finishing or final ball, it’s absolutely shocking and as much as people like to say “leave him alone, it’s not just about scoring”, you’re not wrong on that as goals can’t be the only metric to determine how good a winger is, but you’re an attacker that can use both feet and you don’t know how to finish. You need to have some statistical output as he seems to be a player looking for highlights. Apart from a couple of assists, he has never scored a goal in a major tournament for France and since the 2022 World Cup, he has only 1 goal for his country and that was during their whopping 14-0 win against a lower ranked country and for someone who’s supposed to be an elite winger that’s unacceptable and he doesn’t look like a player who’s good enough to be starting for the national team and he would’ve been benched if Kingsley Coman was fully healthy and didn’t struggle with injuries once again. Look at what Lamine Yamal did today, he’s only 16 years old and sure he has all the skill in his locker and has an great highlight reel that I’ve watched many times, at least he was able to score a goal from outside of the box when his team was down by a goal and that’s called being a difference maker and doing something productive in the final third meanwhile Dembele sucks at finishing and doesn’t know when to make the right pass or shot. At the EUROs, he had 0 goals and 0 assists, I mean how are you expected to produce meaningful output in attack when your team only scored 1 goal from open play.

This is a major defeat for Florentino Perez and Real Madrid who have ignored Spanish born for foreigners in their squad . The national team has exposed how dumb Real Madrid hierarchy and fans are

What i liked about Yamal is his movements with out ball and defending, he tracks back n gets yellocard today. This is amazing for a 16 year old!!! The passes, crosses and dribbling is on another level.

"Checkmate"

He is just a kid and a great player already, definitely blessed by the GOAT :) I really hope he stays humble and not pay attention to all noise

I can't quite understand how Yamal does what he does against fully grown men. His shots and crosses are truly elite.

Yamal has the confidence of those who see things in slow motion while it happens fast for the rest, he is also dead calm and composed…

Respectfully, Lamine is anything but naive. His response to Rabiot s trash talk was"Move on silence, speak only to say checkmate". Then he made Rabiot look like a fool when he scored his worldie😂

My biggest worry is how Barcelona and Spain has managed these young talented players. If you remember Ansu Fati, Pedri and Gavi. These players have suffered injuries at a very young age that they have been unable to shake off.

It’s amazing how many people have misunderstood the word’ Naivety’ , for goodness sake it’s not a criticism 😅

Any time madrid start to assemble their avengers, the universe gives us something special... The sky is your beginning yamal...

Their worse fear is happening (Spain is winning the tournament) and they can't help it

Madrid hyped up players can’t perform outside of Madrid but the media won’t come out and say that😤

Franks hilariously funny in the studio 😆😆

Naive??? Dude scored against France in the Euros, be quiet 🤫

Yamal is EXACTLY what football needed right now. What an elegant player he is.

What Yamal has done is simply brilliant. However, I do have a suggestion for him. When the game ended, Lamine Yamal said, "Parla Ara," which in Catalan means "Speak now." This is a rebuke to Adrian Rabiot's comment. But those experienced players around him and the coach should tell him not to get these comments into his head. People and opponents can say many things, but he should play without making revenge comments. He has a great future ahead. I wish him more success.

Please keep these four in the studio if it’s possible. They are amazing !

Yamal getting better and better after every match

nice title guys

Paul Mariner and Stevie is genuinely a good model for all types of relationships. Beautiful 😍.

Saudi Arabia beat Argentina WC. Dose that mean the Saudis are the second best team in the world?

Messi probably didnt score such a goal at such an important match at age 16....the pundits are misreble about it 😂😂

well done dan,you are good person to have as a friend

Awesome tribute t-shirt to Paul. He had a great personality and is missed.

These espn anti barca guys are always proven wrong at the end of the

Camavinga needs to start

Why do they allow the french pundit to talk and talk. Comments should concentrate on how good Spain played..

The only people more disappointed in Dembele than the French fans are Barcelona fans. Yamal is already represented by Mendes.

One has to love the fact that Yamal's parents have to sign a waiver for each game to allow him to play that late.❤❤❤😂😂😂

Despite recently signing a new contract 18 months ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if Didier Deschamps decides to step down as the manager of the France national team after the EUROs. He has been their manager since 2012 which is for 12 years and the longevity and success that he’s had in major tournaments has been absolutely remarkable. I mean after the mess that happened in the 2010 World Cup where some players were sent home and there was a dysfunction surrounding their squad, who would’ve thought that 8 years later, they would become world champions again combined with the fact that there was a period where he took them to 3 finals in the last 4 major tournaments from 2016-2022 and while they didn’t always win as they lost the EURO final in 2016 and World Cup final in 2022, at least he’s managed to lead them to either the semifinals or final and at times they haven’t always been the best team. He has been criticized for his conservative approach and how he sets his team up to not lose the game rather than play on the front foot since they’re known for being a disciplined team defensively and it worked for the most part at the EUROs where their solid defense made up for their lack of actual goals from open play and they finally scored a goal from open play, but this time against Spain, their luck ran out once and for all. In my opinion, yes he led them to the semifinals and they had to go up against a very good team, with the way that they play under him, it’s not always going to be sustainable. You can’t expect yourself to defend for 90 minutes hit on the counter attack and then boom give the ball to Kylian Mbappe, let Antoine Griezmann impact the game and everyone get out of the way because this worked for France in previous tournaments, but when you have 2 of your most reliable players out of form, they don’t have any ideas in attack. Ousmane Dembele plays like a player who’s looking for highlights rather than someone who is trying to score, Olivier Giroud barely plays anymore and his time with the national team looks to be over, Marcus Thuram isn’t good enough to be their starting striker as he hasn’t translated his club form when he plays for his country, how do you expect yourself to actually score goals from open play when you don’t have a lot of creativity in midfield despite having so many talented midfielders and tactically speaking, Zidane would be a better manager than him on paper and he would be suited to international football and with him out of a job if Deschamps decides to leave he would be the perfect replacement and he has a good resume as well despite not managing a team in over 3 years. As great as he’s been for the national team, you don’t expect him to be their manager forever no offense. the French federation won’t sack Deschamps as the only way he would leave is if he goes into their office and tells them that he would want to step down.

And so it beings 😂

He is doing great things at his age, the things you did in your 30s. A rare gem Lamine Yamal.

No shame! Dude carried his country in a SEMI FINAL AT THE AGE OF 16 and you're calling him 'naive' tf. What were you doing at 16?

What distinguished messi from others is his simplicity, he was never the type of ronaldo to throw it in your face like a child and i dont want yamal to do the same. Let success talk, not you.

Asking this of Yamal is extremely vague. He has shown up to a major tournament and handled his business and now his team are in the final. If anything it demonstrates maturity and talent more than naiveté.

Congratulations to Real Madrid for the signing of Kylian Mbappe 😂

How on earth does someone watch Lamine Yamal and then call him ‘naive’! Disgusting to say the least

The titles on these videos is crazy. But what should i expect its ESPN

If Naivety was helpful then we should see 16year olds in every team. Put some respect on Yamal’s name

The French guy is deluded

I remember watching his in l LA Liga promes tournament as an 8 or 10 year old he was fantastic along with Kluivet jr whom i wonder where he is and how much he's grown Never expected Lamine would make top level that quick I'm talking about he was this little in 2017-20😅

The kid isn't naive. He's fearless and confident in his abilities. Failing doesn't scare him, and that makes him a dangerous winger.

How did Dan miss out on The Brand New "McBoeuf" ?? Mc-Leboeuf just doesn't cut it 😅

I'll take Yamal over Harry Kane any day.

Dembele is a lost cause. Change my mind.

Dan brought up a point about Deschamp tactical flaws and they all ignored it. Mbappe playing the role in the middle would have kept in a more dangerous role regardless of how Spain decided to defend him. They have plenty of guys who can go 1v1 on the wings. Otherwise he should have started Greizmann.

All this so called experts said that France will win the Euro, that shows how much they know about fútbol

Why not play saka as an out and out left winger?

Paul Marina was a true gentleman. I miss him.

If you look at the question, I don’t think they mean naive as a player, just in the sense that he’s a young kid who hasn’t had to deal with adult worries.

Yamal is the future of soccer.. my lil cousins only watch soccer games when he plays.. great for soccer! More and more people are watching it cuz of players like him

6:00 YES! 💯 Acne omg what a struggle! 😭

Lamine is a gem and he will be a superstar

He didn’t seem naive when he took a booking for the team with 5 minutes to go.

Has that innate touch like pirlo playing on wing. Composure and youthful exuberance like messi when he came on scene at 17 its so refreshing. That goal reminded me of lios against Brazil but he was running at pace yamal just pulled that out if air. Incredible gueller goal against Georgia would be goal of tournament modt years but thats just as good as it gets. The English on it side and top spin you have that or you don't!!

Espn fc theme song is awesome 👌 I want is as a ring tone

Naive? Are we in a different planet?

English magically avoid Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Portugal....

my only frustration with lamine is the hunger, i hardly see him running for the ball when crosses are sent in the box or even on counter attacks, maybe with time, he will learn. i feel he should train with neymar during the offseason

What a joke this group. What is that title?

ESPN catching another L as usual💀

Lamin to Rabiot.... move in silence only speak when it's time to checkmate that’s what Lamin said beautiful I love it ❤❤❤❤❤

Not knowing any better. Yes, that's a huge advantage. At this level of soccer, it's like Alex Honnold being too naive to know El Cap is a death trap in solo. If it was only that easy.

What is this? 4 friends talking about sport 30seconds and the rest of the time just joking and talking about them selfs??? What a great way to earn money!

To use the word “naive” is an insult you have a talented player who feels confident and responded to a veteran insulting him. Anyone with a modicum o personality would want to react like Yamal in a brilliant positive way on the field others react negatively. These ex players and pundits seem jealous it wasn’t them.

If you didn't know there is another word you might wanna use... "simplicity"

We have seen this before but we keep ignoring signs like this. When Real Madrid build a GALACTICO squad There was a special one to Upset them First it was Ronaldinho and Later Messi and Now they are try to repeat the same mistake that is why history is hunting them with YAMAL this boy is special, his control is top notch his vision n passes and what amazes me is his confidence and calmness when he has the ball.

Oh, verily, let us extol the prodigious talents of young Lamine Yamal, whose prodigious abilities on the hallowed pitch are nothing short of a divine revelation. At an age when most lads are but mere fledglings, this prodigious virtuoso has already inscribed his name in the annals of footballing lore. Behold his dribbling, a balletic symphony of movement, where he doth glide past defenders with the grace of a celestial being. His feet, like nimble fairies, dance upon the verdant sward, weaving a tapestry of bewilderment and awe. Opponents, ensnared by his beguiling footwork, are rendered as statues, unable to impede his inexorable advance. His composure, nay, his serenity, is that of a seasoned gladiator in the Colosseum, undaunted by the baying throngs. In moments of supreme tension, when lesser mortals might falter, Yamal remains as placid as a becalmed sea, orchestrating his team's endeavors with a maestro's touch. And lo, his goals! These are not mere strikes of fortune, but rather masterpieces of exquisite craftsmanship. Each one is a poetic ode to the beautiful game, a testament to his preternatural vision and precision. As the ball leaves his foot, it is as if it is guided by an unseen hand, destined to find its place in the net with unfaltering certainty. In sum, Lamine Yamal is a luminary of unparalleled brilliance, a paragon of youthful excellence whose exploits on the field defy the very bounds of age and expectation. His future, undoubtedly, is as radiant as the midday sun, and his legacy shall be recounted in the grandest of bardic tales for generations to come.

Why did Deschamps leave out Olise? Like i can picture Olise scoring a similar Goal to Yamal, people like Dembele and Kolo Muani would never.

First France gets beat, then their word gets misspelled.

I don’t think it’s “naive” I think you mean being stunted by the academy & then killing off his creativity.

When we talk about Lamine in the future we will talk about today 9th July 2024

I think a better word would be Purity, he plays with a carefree mind and spirit.

wrong words. I'd say Fearless

Lamine Yamal is a magical boy

I'd pick naive over boastful

Naive? That the best they can come up with? 😂😂😂

To those people commenting on how bad the "naive" comment by the panel is......the naivety of youth is a great thing in this context.(I wish I still had it to some degree)...its an expression that is actually positive in the context....so please either check your English, or chill out in your emotions.

2048 World Cup he will still be younger than me and I’m a millennial! My poor ego 😂

Craig was just hating on Spain because only 2 of the players starting for Spain now played against that Scotland. He was also all the times saying how a nobody le Normand, Laporte playing for Spain and cucurella is not good enough

😂😂😂😂😂 hook line and sinker

Yamal : i see dead people 💀

Star boy vs wonder kid

It's called simplicity play play for the team play for yourself leave everything in the pitch Shut them down

Well la masia doesn't produce that much superstars, but when they do they produce goats , messi , iniesta , xavi , pedro etc are the examples and lamine is going to be one of the greatest cause not only i am impressed by hia goal scoring skills , but his crosses, playmaking skills are even better and on messi , kdb level

At this point. I only watch these guys to seem em complain😂😂😂

All the blame to Dembele, nothing to Mbappe, but neither of them played anything. Mbappe was even far more disappointing. As a barcelona fan, i loved the outcome.
