Tha Arsenal youngster. Erm
Tha Arsenal youngster. Erm
Not Chuba Akpom. The other one.
Nope.
Just spent 10 minutes looking through the arsenal database for his name and couldn't even find the one I was looking for. Maybe he didn't even play for Arsenal. I would guess its one of those Chelsea boys as its not Arsenal..
His brother is more famous. In fact, both his brothers.
Darren Pogba or someone.
Yup. Not many players go from Crewe to Pescara.
Who?
Matias Pogba.
Player I was thinking about was Chuks Aneke.
It was the league 1 and dutch link that pushed me towards Chuks.
@Samadini loves a bit of Chuks.
I've err .... only just found out the Champions League song is one of Handel's compositions. Did UEFA add the lyrics?
It isn't really. Inspired by, perhaps.
Ah, that's why he's credited. I still hate how UEFA bring opera singers out for the final, though. All they do is add more lyrics where there shouldn't be. In the case of the Europa League, they just warble along with the tune.
Mbappe became the 18th teenager to score at the World Cup and the first French teenager. Can you name the 22 youngster players since 1994 who have scored in at the World Cup?
Pele.
Edit: Didn't see the cut off date.
Origi?
I'm sure he did it in 2014 and then signed with Liverpool after the tournament.
Thierry Henry in 1998
22 youngest players. Basiclly its players between 18 and 20 years old. There are 19 now as the list was originally from 1990 but i cut it down.

Thomas Muller is only 28? Wtf? I feel like he's been around forever.
