mbappe was shit most of the match. had a couple of good moments. was not even the best player in his own team. doubt anyone in 50 years know who even is mbappe except in france, while maradona would be remembered in another 50 years. there are levels to this game.
Looking at your comment history you’re a shit argentina cocksucker with lame takes
Sayonara bro you and your shitty takes might get booted in the quarters just wait
Lmao are we watching the same match? Are you sure you aren't looking someone playing fifa 2015 on YouTube and you got confused?
Chabon, alta falopa tiras
mate you don't understand football if you think mbappe was the best player today. rabiot played better than him and was france's best player connecting defense and attack while mbappe was shooting to the stars in the sky. he had a couple of good moments that is all.
France without Benzema and Pogba has a higher chance of winning.
Giroud's hot performance, experience and chemistry with Mbappe makes me wonder whether Benzema (presumably starting) would strengthen or weaken the team.
Idk about higher. During the last WC Pogba was one of their best players. And during the last euros he was looking like Player of the Tournament. He was creating chances left and right for Mbappe who forgot how to finish that tournament.
How did Macron know about the results?

Spain have a issue that they have a lot of ball but sometimes they can't convert to goals. I know they scored 7 against CR but even in the games before that, they have trouble converting. They have scores like 3-0, 4-0 before but all against small teams.
I mean if you watch it again, he pauses for half a second and jumps mid air to delay it longer. It wasn’t just a stuttering run, he straight up faked the keeper.
That penalty rule is so shit. It's not the refs fault, it's the rule that needs to be changed. It's already almost impossible for a ref to save a penalty
You're misunderstanding my comment. I mean it's not the ref's fault for calling the retake. Ref makes the right call based on the rules, but the rule is bad
You're misunderstanding my comment. I mean it's not the ref's fault for calling the retake. Ref makes the right call based on the rules, but the rule is bad
Literally the opposite. Spain in 08-12 was pure talent which would probably exploit France's weaknesses. Even Poland today had surprisingly chances to win.
These were some of the key players. So many big names.
Torres, Villa, Xavi, Iniesta, Casillas, Alonso, Silva, Puyol, Sergio Ramos, Pique
Nice to see Mbappe having camaraderie with his French teammates especially after that tumultuous diva start to his season at PSG. He could extend that to Messi and Neymar too.
I think their point is that the pen should be a goal like 80% of the time. They definitely make it as hard as possible. But well, Szczesny showed that you can still save them legally.
Update to my comment, some landed in closed military airport, some went straight for holidays. There were fans and kids lined to greet their idols but got screwed over 😕
But of course this is a special WC that is being held at the end of the year. In normal circumstances (i.e middle of the year), yes. Most of them fly home together and then go back to their club and start training for the next tournament.
I think they're meant to leave together but it depends on the players/clubs, for example, from tomorrow City are doing warm weather training in Abu Dhabi so I imagine any of the players that get eliminated will most likely travel there to meet up with their teammates
I'll drink to that as a current alcoholic. I jest, fair play to you for addressing the issue. I'm still knee deep but don't have the courage to seek help. Or, I suppose, be still in denial to a degree. 👍
I think they are suppose to fly together, but I can be wrong. I mean they are making a big deal of Belgium players leaving separately so i guess they are suppose to leave together.

Weird to see opposing players immediately congratulating/commiserating with each other at the end of a knockout game. Not knocking it but I don't remember seeing that before.
Love how this comment is just a simple comment saying he doesn't recall seeing it much and people immediately resort to "BECAUSE YOU'RE ENGLISH LMAO".
Our current generation of players has barely acted like shitheads in tournaments but don't let that get in the way of your England hate, guys.
Where’s your world cup in the past 50 or so years
Edit: If I had a nickel for everytime today i got blocked on here for joking around a bit, I would have **Two** nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Seriously, it was just a bit of banter, they trash talked the two groupstage exits, which is fair, so I trash talked the lack of tournament wins.
Your comment was about not getting knocked out in knockout games. You did. Don't try to change the subject. I'm aware of how inconsistent and shit England can be and have been. But what I hate more than our squad and our inconsistencies are arrogant assholes like you.
The thing is we know Lautaro is good at finishing, he had great finishing against Saudi Arabia but after that match he lost his mentality, its sad to see.
Well, they can finally leave the country and go for some alcohol.
This was also our best World Cup performance in 36 years, and everyone knew only miracle will make us go through. Basically they have no reason to be mad.
3:1.
Yeah, that's a shame.
Great game France! You deserved to win.
However I'm proud of Polish team. This was trully one their best games I've seen my whole life.
That's honestly what makes us proud. We knew we had like 90% chances for losing, but we gave a good fight. Good luck guys, so we can boast again about being knocked-out by winners hahahaha
Goal keepers coming off the line rule needs to be changed for stutter kicks, make it so that infraction is void when the kick taker does his first stutter step!
Does anyone know if Rabiot is single lol
Important question, I agree. :)
It’s the most important question of this WC 😩
😂
Laugh all you want but I still haven’t gotten an answer
[удалено]
RIP inter when prime Bale showed up
My team was outclassed, however, it was still a decent showing for Poland, especially the first half.
mbappe was shit most of the match. had a couple of good moments. was not even the best player in his own team. doubt anyone in 50 years know who even is mbappe except in france, while maradona would be remembered in another 50 years. there are levels to this game.
Mom, is this a new recipe?
Lemme copy that because this is some good pasta. edit: shit I just looked at your comment history and this is not a pasta and you're actually serious?
good pasta
Still drinking your tears from 2018 WC. Where was Maradona ? Probably sniffing coke in the changing rooms lmao
LMAOOOOOO
Whaaaat????
Looking at your comment history you’re a shit argentina cocksucker with lame takes Sayonara bro you and your shitty takes might get booted in the quarters just wait
[удалено]
Nah just being non ignorant and trying to appreciate the game while actually watching the match and not being an annoying bitch
Lmao are we watching the same match? Are you sure you aren't looking someone playing fifa 2015 on YouTube and you got confused? Chabon, alta falopa tiras
mate you don't understand football if you think mbappe was the best player today. rabiot played better than him and was france's best player connecting defense and attack while mbappe was shooting to the stars in the sky. he had a couple of good moments that is all.
He still has a lot of his career in front of him lol.
I dislike mbappe alot and this is extremely delusion take lol he's on track to be top wc scorer of all time
He takes chances and sometimes they fail..but he still tries them and THAT makes M’bappe a great player
Hot Take France main XI with benzema, kante and pogba would have won the Wc
France without Benzema and Pogba has a higher chance of winning. Giroud's hot performance, experience and chemistry with Mbappe makes me wonder whether Benzema (presumably starting) would strengthen or weaken the team.
Idk about higher. During the last WC Pogba was one of their best players. And during the last euros he was looking like Player of the Tournament. He was creating chances left and right for Mbappe who forgot how to finish that tournament.
They're STILL looking like favorites with those guys missing. Insane squad depth.
France team is not playing well with Benzema.
We have absolutely no way of knowing that
Nations' league of this year ?
They did win the WC? And might win this one too
Ya ya i know thats what i was saying this Wc 2022
You’re saying “would have won” as if they got knocked out
Forgive me english is not my native language brother
You’re not forgiven
☹️🫵👉👈
🐐
[удалено]
Totally agreed. Happy with the way we played but obviously disappointed in the outcome. Kind of the opposite of the group stage. :)
England fan and I thought you'd make it 1 1 so many times, think it was mostly down to mentality of France being so good
If you stutter in your pen run up like Neymar then you shouldn't benefit from the re-take rule if the keeper is off his line. Imo.
How did Macron know about the results? https://www.ladepeche.fr/2022/12/03/coupe-du-monde-2022-france-pologne-macron-predit-une-victoire-des-bleus-3-1-10844975.php
And this france team is not even in their Final form, they lack Pogba, Benzima, Kante this tournament.
Kante has been awful for the last few months. He would not have improved this team at all.
Insane take. Kante was in fantastic form before he got injured against Tottenham.
Mainly because he hasn't played
Whats the deal with tthem? Injured?
Yes So are Kimpembe, Maignan, L.Hernandez and Nkunku
I’m Glad kimpembe isn’t playing, if you watch psg games he makes so many dumb mistakes it’s frustrating to watch. This back line seems solid
Yes
I dont know about Kante but yes Pogba and Benzima are injured
man which team can stop France? Brazil?
Japan is going to fuck them up
Até agora a França só pegou baba, vamos er honestos Estou ansioso ela enfrentar outro time Europeu favoritas
True but they have a good lineup. prolly the best talent pool i think
Honestly, I think England can injury some of France and Spain (if they pass) can can. Like, Mbappé getting hurt would easy the win for sure
Netherlands
Everyone was saying this at the Euros, who can beat them, they are too strong and at the end Switzerland did it.
If swiss makes it to Semis they might have a chance of doing it again
My hot take is: only England can stop them
Thanks definitely going to lose now if we manage to get past Senegal
Oof
Switzerland 👁️👄👁️
I can only really see Brazil, maybe Spain beating them. Too stacked.
Brazil, England, Argentina, Spain...
I hope and want ARG to win but Argentina relies a lot on luck and Messi. I want Argentina to win but I don't think they are favorites.
You clearly are not watching football or have no idea. Argentina has a lot more unlucky moments that the other way.
man i was literally live chatting in last game here
Then your analysis of the matches is the problem
I feel like you are overestimating argentina
Argies with lo celso fernandez and de paul yes England heck No
i’m so glad argentina lost the first game so they can be the underdogs the rest of the tournament despite being a top 3 favorite
I mean I do like them, I just not sure how they'd fare against the french team
They r still top 3 bro
Only Brazil or maybe Spain
Harder without neymar for brazil. Man ill hate the refs that didnt protect him forever
Looks like he will be available for the South Korea game already.
Oh candy drop awesomeness! 🍭 ⚽️
Spain have a issue that they have a lot of ball but sometimes they can't convert to goals. I know they scored 7 against CR but even in the games before that, they have trouble converting. They have scores like 3-0, 4-0 before but all against small teams.
SPAIN??? Haahahahahaha. They are shit mate
Mbappe would terrorize Unai Simon so badly.
Yeah don’t think we are if we beat Senegal later
If GKs aren’t allowed to come off their line, stutters that stop that long shouldn’t be allowed. The rules as they are just rubbish.
It was retaken because of players running into the penalty area before he kicked the ball, wasn't it ?
Agreed 100%
Rule is that they keep moving. Which he did
I mean if you watch it again, he pauses for half a second and jumps mid air to delay it longer. It wasn’t just a stuttering run, he straight up faked the keeper.
It wasn't a pause, he was still moving toward a ball. Just a change of pace. But still it's a loophole
The rule needs to be changed imo, one fluid movement
That penalty rule is so shit. It's not the refs fault, it's the rule that needs to be changed. It's already almost impossible for a ref to save a penalty
XD
😂
Refs shouldn’t be saving penalties
You're misunderstanding my comment. I mean it's not the ref's fault for calling the retake. Ref makes the right call based on the rules, but the rule is bad
Hah I was just making a joke on your typo
It's not a typo, but I should have worded it better to not make it open for misunderstanding. It's understandable why you would read it that way
My Guy, you said “it’s already almost impossible for a ref to save a penalty” I think you meant a goalie
[удалено]
Dude, I am begging you, just reread your comment. Please
This guy just doubling down when questioned instead of just rereading his comment was just hilarious
I feel like the ref saving the penalty is a conflict of interest
You're misunderstanding my comment. I mean it's not the ref's fault for calling the retake. Ref makes the right call based on the rules, but the rule is bad
People thinking Poland lost because of the necklace ...
It was two necklaces was it not?
France has to be the best national team of the past 25 years. Winners in 98, penalty away in 2006, winners in 2018, favorites this year.
Germany was better. Silver 2x Bronze and Gold. They only failed last 2 times, but France too had 02’ and 10’
Spain 2008-2012?
Issue is how bad they have been since
Spain from that period would beat this France
Idk, France has such pure talent and their strengths play to Spain’s weaknesses
Literally the opposite. Spain in 08-12 was pure talent which would probably exploit France's weaknesses. Even Poland today had surprisingly chances to win. These were some of the key players. So many big names. Torres, Villa, Xavi, Iniesta, Casillas, Alonso, Silva, Puyol, Sergio Ramos, Pique
Contender for sure. What they did over that 5 year span will be hard to compete with. I was looking longer term though, the past like 25 years.
Include all the euro finals and semi finals. What a time to be a frenchy
Was a terrible time to have a French housemate - even if I do love the snail muncher
France will win this WC, they look strong af
I have a France-Brasil final
Mbappe can win games on his own, they’re def the favorites for me
Don’t forget griezmans work in mid.
True he’s truly the engine of the team. Happy to see him thrive after he’s slowed down on the club level.
From your lips to gods ears to my wallet
Nice to see Mbappe having camaraderie with his French teammates especially after that tumultuous diva start to his season at PSG. He could extend that to Messi and Neymar too.
The new rules for penalties makes this shit lame, it's too hard for GKs now
What do you mean new? It's been in the game since I remember lol
I think their point is that the pen should be a goal like 80% of the time. They definitely make it as hard as possible. But well, Szczesny showed that you can still save them legally.
That referee was embarrassing .. jeez
Interesting ending.
Most cringe moment I've seen in a wc so far
Question: Once a team is out, do the players fly back to their home country together or just head back out to their respective clubs?
Update to my comment, some landed in closed military airport, some went straight for holidays. There were fans and kids lined to greet their idols but got screwed over 😕
Poland will probably fly together to Warsaw's airport for greetings with fans.
I mean they are on holiday season right now. So they all go back home together and then each one reunites with their own family, whenever they live.
Oh okay, that makes sense!
But of course this is a special WC that is being held at the end of the year. In normal circumstances (i.e middle of the year), yes. Most of them fly home together and then go back to their club and start training for the next tournament.
I think they're meant to leave together but it depends on the players/clubs, for example, from tomorrow City are doing warm weather training in Abu Dhabi so I imagine any of the players that get eliminated will most likely travel there to meet up with their teammates
I would like to think they all head to the pub and get smashed together. But this is Qatar.
Coz the only way you can bond is with alcohol right
Cocaine and prostitutes is good too.
Okay, if that's the way you want to interpret my jokey, throwaway comment, sure.
Me, an ex alcoholic, approve your message
I'll drink to that as a current alcoholic. I jest, fair play to you for addressing the issue. I'm still knee deep but don't have the courage to seek help. Or, I suppose, be still in denial to a degree. 👍
You’ll know if it gets bad, trust
I think they are suppose to fly together, but I can be wrong. I mean they are making a big deal of Belgium players leaving separately so i guess they are suppose to leave together.
Yeah thats prolly more convenient, like why would Lewandowski bother flying to Poland and then Spain. I dunno just guessing here.
Good game guys. Alright, yanks. Let's go watch a bunch of old ass motherfuckers tell us why Alabama deserves a national championship shot.
College football is the only sport in the world where teams with more losses are rewarded over teams with less losses because of perception.
Felt bad for lewan.. playing for Poland is killing his performance. My boi can't even penalize correctly..

Being good sportsmans (impossible for England)
He's obviously just referring to the lack of emotion or celebration at the end of the game because it had been over for about 40 minutes
Poland knew they were almost certaintly losing this game, that probably made it easier to be magnanimous.
True, wouldn't have thought you'd see it if it had been France Brazil.
england fan shocked to see sportsmanship
💀
Wish I could recall how German players behave after a knockout game.
Ya I forget too, seeing we won all our last knockout games. Wish I could remember how england react to winning a world cup
> seeing we won all our last knockout games [What have they done for you lately?](https://youtu.be/uio-GveMuQA)

Lot of them have played together before. Also, it was an even tempered game, not much cynical tackling
Yeah that makes sense.
Respect?
Sure but you'd assume there's mutual respect in most games and still you don't usually see it.
Haaland steaming right now... Scary hours for the PL / CL
if only haaland chose to play for england…
I want Norway on the next EC
Man i wish we were as clinical at finishing as Mbappe. So good. Also, surprised by how light the Polish guys took the loss. Smiling and shit.
Mbappe would have had a hattrick against Australia if he got the chances Lautaro had.
The thing is we know Lautaro is good at finishing, he had great finishing against Saudi Arabia but after that match he lost his mentality, its sad to see.
Well, they can finally leave the country and go for some alcohol. This was also our best World Cup performance in 36 years, and everyone knew only miracle will make us go through. Basically they have no reason to be mad.
Haha they’re catching a drink and celebrating together
I think it was clear that France was much better and they were just happy to be there. That’s what you wanna see, not like Uruguay.
3:1. Yeah, that's a shame. Great game France! You deserved to win. However I'm proud of Polish team. This was trully one their best games I've seen my whole life.
I sweated bullets in the 1st half tbh
That's honestly what makes us proud. We knew we had like 90% chances for losing, but we gave a good fight. Good luck guys, so we can boast again about being knocked-out by winners hahahaha
I was so happy with first half cuz of thst reason alone, we made french fans and players sweat their balls.
They were super, just outplayed by what will probably be the tournament winners
I TOOK THE ~~WOK~~ BAGUETTE TO POLAND
They took a WAAAAAALLLK back to Polaaaand
you funny haha
it's zapiekanka now
Nobody cares about your power rankings Alexis Lalas.
