    In just three years, this tiny man has won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, Player of the Year, Footballer of the Year and a World Cup. It couldn't happen to a better bloke.

    Before going to Leicester he played 1 year for a small club in France (Caen) and was fairly unknown even for the Ligue 1 followers. In his first season in PL he became an unchallenged starter.

    In this team he is Mr Do it all defensively of our midfield. When everybody will be slowing down, walking or have cramps, he’ll be running around you in circles.
    A small mentioned the perfect compliment to Pogba.

    Also THIS is the anthem of the French supporters during the tournament:


    Translation:

    Ben-ja-min Pa-vard, Ben-ja-min Pa-vard,

    j’crois pas que vous connaissez,
    I don’t think you know him

    il sort de nulle part,
    He comes from nowhere

    une frappe de bâtard,
    A f****** shot

    on a Benjamin Pavard
    We have Benjamin Pavard

    Other than his changing haircuts (quelle horreur) not sure how/why anyone would hate on this guy. Solid pre-game speech and seemed to take on a leadership role on the team.

    Apparently, N'Golo Kante's brother died of a heart attack only a few weeks before the World Cup (French source), poor b*stard. I just found out that his dad also died when he was 11, leaving his mom to raise 8 kids by herself... crazy. As if I couldn't like this dude anymore.
