I mean sure it’s true but how many clinical 16 year olds have you watched?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He's 16 years old.
I read an article that it is against German law for kids under 18 to work past 23:00. It is 23:00 right now in Germany but if he also has to extra time, he is breaking German labour laws.
Actually the showering and media stuff after a game is also part of the work so he is breaking German law
Not really, he had some good seasons but the last ones weren't particular good. There is a reason why he was a late buy and no big club actually came for him in spite of being cheap.
So what? Doesn't change that he is wasteful at the moment.
He's done an incredible work. Spain are a brilliant team and I think that the winner of their next round will get their hand on the trophy.
At this level ... I imagine it's none.
List of the 16 and 17 year olds who aren’t? Historical works.
Don't see it either. The only advantage Germany have is that they play at home.
It's so expected it's not worthy of mentioning I think is the point people are trying to make.
Jesus Navas is older than Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams combined
Exactly.
And it's also a redundant point too!
"For all his talent, he's been wasteful" says absolutely nothing about the kid outside of one sample game.
Mbappe has had games where he's been wasteful. So has Vini Jr. So has every player in the world. It's just a silly statement.
Aye. Harsh
9 goals and 8 assists in 54 games for Barca isn't bad at all.
Spain-Germany is the moral final
Spain will be champions, if they don't do something silly. They are very good, and they don't feck around, while everybody else seems to be not quite there
I wish they had somebody other than Morata, up front. I know he has great record for the national team, but for me he is still the same annoying Chelsea flop moron that I knew him as during his premiership days

Yep, it's just saying something to say something.
Thanks. I didn’t know.
Poor Pat! Mostly innocuous comment gets hammered!
You’re right of course but I’m just pointing out what I’m seeing. I’m hardly trying to have a referendum on his overall ability. He missed a lot of chances, and I posted that he’s quite wasteful. It’s inevitable that he’ll improve on that front.
Tbf I only 3 responses, so it’s ok but they were all exactly the same responses
Morata isn't great but it seems to work in this side. He's a pretty decent player for occupying defenders and making runs, it makes the whole front line of Spain quite hard to handle with the wingers playing so wide.Spain will be champions, if they don't do something silly.

I'm sure they'd love an upgrade but at least it seems to work stylistically unlike Harry Kane for England where he's clearly still a top forward as evidenced by this season but no fecker runs ahead of him and he starts drifting into other people's space.
Yes, fair enough if you didn’t know his age. He was wasteful. But of course you’d expect confidence, decision making and subsequent finishing to rapidly improve with experience.
I dont think Luis Enrique was conservative, he didnt have these wingers DLF has. Lamal is 16, there is no one at his level behind him.
They said in one of the Danish broadcasts of the Spain matches, that the Spanish delegation has a full time legal clerk that takes care of all the issues surrounding him in regards to German legislation. They also said that he’s not allowed to be alone with any manager (always 2 adults rule) and his parents have to fill consent forms for every game that might end after a certain time.

Fair enough. See you are of the Boehly school of calculation too
Lamine Yamal is going to end up like Pedri, Gavi, Dembele, Fati and Bojan at this rate.
Too much pressure and physical exposure on what is essentially a teenager going through puberty.
Spain and Barca really need to take a step back and re-evaluate.

Our pundits trying to act like it will be a game of two equals but I don't see it. I think Spain so far has been the far better team. We weren't bad, but Spain right now seems to be on another level, they play with so much tempo, I think we will really struggle against them.
And those are strikers, something Lamal isnt.
Spain looking great. The only big side so far for me, apart from Portugal maybe, to live up to their billing.
It should be an interesting 1/4 final with Spain/Germany.

Nobody also saw what Pele was like as a 16 year old.
17 year old Ronaldo was midway through his first season at Cruziero and again, I doubt anybody saw what he was like then.
Why do people keep bringing up Dembeles injury issues like he wasnt signed for 100m+ at 21? He was not signed to be a young player you ease in. He was signed to replace Neymar.
Also Yamal is physically way more developed that all those other diminutive players you mentioned.
Is he doing any work though? It's national team, he doesn't have a contact with them.I read an article that it is against German law for kids under 18 to work past 23:00. It is 23:00 right now in Germany but if he also has to extra time, he is breaking German labour laws.

Playing on Euros is officialy considered a hobby and not work.
If PSG want to sell Fabien Ruiz and Ugarte that would be ok with me! What a player Ruiz is. Williams been player of the tournament so far. Spain big favourites now by far the best team. The Germany QF has the makings of a classic. Probably disappoint
R9 was 17-18 in his breakthrough season at Cruzeiro though, he hadn't kicked a top level ball at Yamals age. But agreed that its fair to say Yamal won't be R9 prolific next season.
Southgate will 100% do this “we were better in the earlier games when he played”
Pele played in a World Cup at 17.
