Get your facts straight, it has been said he is the best 18 year old since Pele

Both made major breakthroughs at 18 in big tournaments, hence the comparison. No one is saying he is the player that Pele went onto become....
4 goals makes him the topscorer in the tournament and his ALLROUND play has been awesome. He scared the French to death as well, and they are supposed to be the best team in it!
Take YOUR blinkers off.
