I think that he is the best player for France and it was thanks to him that France got to the penalties in the final against Argentina this last world cup as without him France would have probably not even a shot on goal on that game.Things have changed now and despite the old players being usually captains now there is a new trend which the captain usually becomes the best player of the team and I think France has made the right decision to appoint Mbappe as their captain.He surely is one of the most talented players in the world and he fully deserve this title despite his young age.
Yeah. That's mbappes team. It has been since he won that first world cup for the France national team. I’m not surprised they gave it to him. I remember what he did, how he displayed a leadership quality in the dressing room during the half time when France was loosing at the just concluded world Cup. Also looking at longevity, I think Mbappe as the captain has a lengthy time to play than the others so it’s a good reason to give him the Armband.
I agree that it was already him that was the captain in theory, but it wasn't happening just yet due to his age. By 2026 dude will be 25+ years old, and he could become the captain during that time, he is going to be captain moving forward from now of course but the main idea is that he should be ready for 2026 to pick up that title. He was already there, he was their best player and he was the one who saved them so many times in a row as well, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The only difference is that he will be officially titled the captain, and he will have the armband but spiritually he was their captain for a few years already.
