Yeah unless he's sick or something, at halftime commentators were saying doing that would be embarrassing for Giroud, that manager should have waited till half and that this could affect the locker room poorly at the worst time.

Di Maria played great

My word what are France doing?

Chance after chance in their end.

Wait why are they taking Di Maria out?

Never been a huge Di Maria fan but great performance today

France should have lost to Morocco in semi-final if they perform like this in final

Just how many French players caught this virus? They all look lethargic.

I would not be surprised if all of them have lingering effects

Do you really think Morocco would have fared better?

Watch them pull a couple of goals out of their ass here, but this is the only real drama left:

Will France shoot?!?! Never mind on goal, just shoot at all.

France needs a goal and nothing

probably not but i don't think morocco would've played with any fear. true underdog. and more pressure would've been on messi and argentina as the heavy favorites.

Giroud is also not that great, every match he misses a clear goal; but he is still lot better than his substitution. What France really needed was Benzema

They need to take some shots outside the box. They have more than capable players to make those.

I've read some things I don't want to get into now, but like with the two journalists who passed, lots of coughing around them as well.

Credit to Argentina for the assertive start and continuing it, but France looks a shadow of itself.

They did it! France's first shot comes in the 68th minute.

Blame Rasho · Post #739 » by **Blame Rasho** » Sun Dec 18, 2022 4:32 pm

France has like 25 mins left…

definitely would have fared better than the current performance of France; remember France has no shot on goal yet and it is 2nd half
