World Ski Champion Alexis Pintorault slams Argentine World Cup champion Emiliano Martinez, saying, “Shame!”

Before the final, Mbappe also spoke disparagingly about the level of South American football.

The PSG star said the sport there “isn’t as advanced as in Europe. That’s why the Europeans always won the last World Cup.” Argentina and Brazil do not have to be at a high level [spielen]to get to the World Cup.”

Martinez then replied, “Mbappe doesn’t know enough about football, he never played in South America.” Anyone who has never had this experience “can’t say anything about it.” For Pintorault, who may have shuddered with the French in the final, the renewed digging has gone a bit too far.
