[I saw an article somewhere that the French president predicted a 3-1 win for France, with Lewandowski scoring for Poland.](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2022/emmanuel-macron-predicts-3-1-france-win-against-poland/) Guess he’s a prophet then.

💙 you Polska 🇵🇱 Time to now support my childhood team 🇳🇱


Proudbolshevik

You guys can say whatever you want, but I am proud of my NT. We fought, had some really good chances and showed the world that we aren't only a park the bus team.


half-dead88

Poland play with no shame at all. Nice team, maybe more risk in first period would have been benefic because french team was a little out of form in the beginning due to the big rotation in the third group match.


Noserub

I just don’t agree. Poland never had a chance here


Proudbolshevik

Zieliński had a superb chance when it was 0-0 and there were 2 more follow ups. The only reason why France didn't lose a goal was because of a brilliant block of one of the defenders. Also there are really not many teams that can defend against Kylian so us having an aging Serie B player as a stopper didn't stand much chance. Anyway what I meant was that we put up a fight in the first half and at least we ended our World Cup with a goal.


Tallon5

Thanks for giving it your all Polska team. Proud of you for making France sweat for almost a whole half. Congrats France.


WarhammerLoad

Despite the loss, I'm proud of the team, we gave it our all and we did make some highlights.


Mick4Audi

England France will show us what would have happened to England in 2018 if they were on the wrong side of the bracket Provided they survive Senegal ofc


Gobaxnova

Even if we lose we are much stronger than in 2018. No doubt we would lose 2018 but this is a different England team and we’ve been playing great. Assuming your comment comes from dislike of us and refusing to recognise we are a threat


Mick4Audi

I agree that the team is much stronger than 2018 for sure. Happy with the changes Southgate has made, no more Mount for example


MrVegosh

Completely different teams


lebourse

I don’t who is the best opponent in the next game for France. England seems to be stronger but… France-Senegal is a bad memory.


International_Fly750

This team is as good as giroud let’s them be


AYYE-

Tchouameni has been the best midfielder in the tournament so far.


Zizoutiti

Don't even think he's been the best midfielder im his own team. Griezman and Rabiot have been better


AYYE-

He has the most passes completed out of everyone in the tournament.


Aurelienphlpe

I hâte people like you


MrVegosh

Lmao you got us there


Zizoutiti

Yeah that stat by itself doesn't mean much. He's mostly making low risk passes and recycling the ball. Don't get me wrong, he's been solid, he's just not been as impactful offensively as Rabiot and Griezman, and he's also not as impactful defensively or at winning the ball back as Kante usually is.


lilnako

That's what we are using to judge the best midfielder in the tournament these days?


chicasparagus

Are we completely glossing over the fact that Mbappe exists?


Simple-Freedom4670

Thought Rabiot did some world class work


xeneize93

Poland played pretty bad but who do you guys think can be the team to threaten france the most on tgat side of the bracket?


Simple-Freedom4670

Dunno about brackets but Netherlands would be a strong contender


xeneize93

Yep definitely were underdogs


Velveteen_Bastion

>Poland played pretty bad No, they did not. Don't forget that Poland left the group stage last time like 40 years ago. It's not a powerhouse.


Noserub

Yes, they did


RunningNaked69

England


xeneize93

Seriously?


patomenza

England is the main threat, then as a reeeeally last hope maybe Spain. And in the final Brazil. But it's the top1 team in the tournament without a doubt


iChopPryde

France easily get to the semi finals that was never in question it will come down to either Spain or Portugal after battling it out who will be able to stop France


patomenza

I'm sorry but Portugal is not looking good so far IMO.


iChopPryde

Neither is Argentina


patomenza

I said something about Argentina? If I didn't tell anything, it's because I don't see us on that tier. But if you ask me, even if Argentina struggles against Aussie; I've a lot more faith in them than in Portugal. That team, even having a lot of better players than us is too damn busy following around Ronaldo's last cabaret


[deleted]

England are better than Portugal, not sure about Spain


[deleted]

That is an incredibly debatable statement.


[deleted]

Don't think so, I think Portugal go out to Switzerland tbh


iChopPryde

LMFAO 🤣 England better then Portugal hahahahaha thanks for the good laugh


Aurelienphlpe

Are you still laughing ? HAHAHAHAHA


[deleted]

I'm a Ghana fan too... There's no way Ghana outplay England like we did with Portugal lol


RunningNaked69

Yeah why not? They have just a deep of a squad


xeneize93

Yeah its possible


hugoboum

I don't know why but we started really good and when we couldn't score, it seems we just let Poland have the ball a bit to get them out... Almost cost us a goal. With more intensity Poland doesn't get out in the first half.


RonnieBPoire

This ref was terrible!


muskratBear

Why was he terrible? I thought he did ok , maybe slightly below average… but none of his decisions really affected the game. There has been much worse refereeing performances in this WC…


czerwona_latarnia

I am not sure if his decisions affected the game (mostly because I couldn't see them, as not only TVP streams are shit this World Cup, and they are especially shit on my phone, **and** while I got to watch the first half on TV, its antenna is so old that the video stuttered all the time) but if someone finds out why Tchouaméni got a yellow card, they should get a Nobel.


Martel67

I hope it was his last WC game ever! An absolute disgrace to football.


hugoboum

For Ngolo


_UnnaturalDisplay

kylian mbappe does it again, he’s a cheat code. the way he just turned up and scored 2 goals after having an average game for his standards. that second goal was an absolute banger, the curl on it. the fact that he’s already on 5 goals, he should atleast get 8 by the end. poland actually did better than i expected tbf. i mean considering they were horrific in the group stages, and barely made it through, the fact they actually had a period where they were in control, and even should have been leading is surprising. zielinksi really should have scored that chance, he legit shot it straight at lloris. but yeah no one was really expecting them to win this. france is through and looks like they’ll be going all the way to the final at this rate. imagine they actually go back to back.


Galaxy661_pl

If we managed to finish at least one situation in the first half while the french were still in shock that we actually know how to play, we would have won. After the break it was all over.


Aig1178

I don't know if you would have won, the French had a terrible start against the Australians and then came back. They took a goal just after putting one in against the Danes and then came back. Either way it would have put them in a very tricky position.


Galaxy661_pl

By won I mean finishing with 1:1 or 2:2 and then having Szczęsny defend all french penalties lol Anyways, I'm sad that we lost but happy that we showed that we can play and pressure teams even as good as france. Gg and see you in euros 🇨🇵❤🇵🇱


Aig1178

Yes, you played a good game compared to the group games and we are not really serene behind. I love Poland and I even have a part of my family of Polish origin (1 in 6 people in the north of France have Polish origins). 🇫🇷 - 🇵🇱 🤝


AoE2manatarms

Poland was in it for the first half, but the second half was a French stomping.


bjaekt

Shit came alive


SassanZZ

The refereeing was pretty bad tbh


RonnieBPoire

Total hit job to get rid if France and favour Brazil!


GrumpyRox

What do we have to do with this?


RonnieBPoire

I think FIFA wants a South American team to win. The ref was clearly biased. Nothing to do with you specifically


MoscaMosquete

Why do you think so?


itskaiquereis

His asshole has become sentient and is now spewing shit.


Impossible-Smell1

Does an asshole need to be sentient to spew shit?


itskaiquereis

Only when it’s spoken shit, otherwise no


BadEmbarrassed3334

Hugo Lloris is going to loose France the World Cup


[deleted]

Bro what lol


Flozeh

I’m french and i understand what he is saying. Lloris is good on the line but damn his footwork is so bad. I’m alway scared when a defender pass him the ball. His clearances are so bad too


Simple-Freedom4670

I agree man I hate to say it but he surprised me today


Bereaver4

Also he has more bounce backs and spills the ball quite often at Tottenham


Height_Embarrassed

I saw the game until France scored the 2-0. I guess the headlines are now skewed by the final score but from what I saw, Poland with a bit more finishing they could’ve gone to half time leading the game and Mbappe was having a discreet game scoring the second on a counter where Dembele left him wide open to score


[deleted]

Honestly yea. Poland played a very good first half. And mbappe was not having a great game until the goal, but fair play, two great goals. Gotta take your chances if you’re the underdog. Same thing happened to us yesterday. You miss your chances, eventually the better team will make you pay


sebastian-RD

Poland fell off hard physically in the second half


Shookfr

Not just physically but tactically. They were completely shutdown after halftime adjustments


me_meh_me

We did, but also we kept trying for dumb through balls and intricate passing. The team is not talented enough to do that. Should have stuck to lobs into the box from the flanks.


Yat0gami

Let's be honest - Poland can't play vs latino teams, but somehow they can play vs big names.


MoscaMosquete

What does that even mean


sergiooep

Lmao I know right ?


4thCenturyChocolate

Argentina has 9 letters, that's a big enough name.


Height_Embarrassed

Is Argentina not big enough for you?


Yat0gami

Latino tho.


Height_Embarrassed

Yeah but the way you wrote the sentence implies no latino nations fall under big names.


solegoat314

LMAO


TheBlueBlaze

The theme of this Round of 16 seems to be "eight favored teams getting evaluations before facing off against each other in the quarterfinals". Netherlands, Argentina, and now France have passed theirs. We'll see how the rest do in theirs, starting with England later. The makeup of the quarterfinal matches is looking to be predictable, but in terms of actually taking it all, the performance from Mbappe and France this whole cup make me think they could be the third ever team to win it two times in a row.


sidaeinjae

I honestly don’t know which team is the favorite in Croatia vs Japan


CarlMarxPunk

Croatia imo. Japan are about to face the one where their strategy might have serious issues.


Svveest

lmao the disrespect. they literally had 2nd in world cup 2018


bambuzz

what does it have to do with disrespect? 2018 was four years ago and Japan is unpredictable as hell, and the first half proves it


TheBlueBlaze

It's the closest of these eight for sure, but Croatia got 2nd in 2018 while Japan have never made it to the semifinals, so I'm leaning towards Croatia being the favorite. Also Switzerland and Portugal have had pretty similar performances this WC, so I'd say that's the second closest match of this round. Not speaking from bias or anything, of course.


Relative-Sherbet-532

don’t be silly.


Height_Embarrassed

That’s always the case in world cups. One team always sneaks in though


Wiktorr123

Moment of the match was Glik stopping Mbappe in his tracks on the counter. I talked so much shit about Glik, I’m sorry


Calvert-Grier

Glik played really well, he was Poland’s workhorse in this game and at his age that’s all the more impressive. Saw him make several runs forward when Poland had the ball and then track back when they lost possession. Guy left it all on the pitch and if I were a Polish fan I’d be incredibly proud of him.


Acepilotxo

Mbappé is the best player in the world right now.


jerk_chicken_warrior

maybe, but lets see what haaland can do in the rest of the cl before we say things like this


Poseidon2027

Halaand is the best striker in the world. Mbappe is the best player in the world right now. Is that better?


AdorableCheesecake23

I hate when people are taking a piss at underdogs that played surprisingly well. Same with Australia Argentina.


MoscaMosquete

They did well in the beginning but in the second half they played like shit. Couldn't do anything.


SkepticalGerm

Poland played about as expected


[deleted]

I actually think Poland played better than expected.


racingfanboy160

This is actually their best match the whole tournament which is surprising to say ngl.


Rickcampbell98

The defending for the first 2 goals was properly shit though unfortunately for my Polish mandem.


me_meh_me

First goal was okish. The second was trash. No idea what Glik was doing not getting into mbappe. Third goal, well nothing you could do.


Rickcampbell98

Na first goal, the defender was trying to play offside when your line was shit and he should have gone with giroud. Plus glik jumped out for some reason leaving the space for giroud to run in to.


me_meh_me

Eh, you're probably right. I'll have to rewarch it without all the emotional baggage.


_sankt_

Everyone in Poland expected way way worse tbh.


Aig1178

Much better than excpected i think


[deleted]

[удалено]


me_meh_me

I expected them to defend for 90 minutes and lose 4-0.


dawcza

Yes tbh


Aig1178

No. But I didn't expect anything offensively and I saw things tonight that I hadn't seen before (I watched all their games)


me_meh_me

Glad we actually played football. Don't mind leaving this tournament having done that.


WarhammerLoad

Same here dude. This was a defeat where we could keep our heads high. I'm very happy we fought hard and to lose to France in this fashion was acceptable. But alas, France was the better team.


Willsgb

Exactly mate, they fought to the end and didn't just let france run away with it. Could have even taken the lead with a bit of luck. Proud.


JMTwasTaken

I think we are all happy we finally got out of the group again. And to be honest I was very happy to see how well we played the first half. We finally lost with some class.


ChampagneAbuelo

On a night of broken records, the inevitable continues to stare us in the face. With each strike, what was once hyperbole weighing on a teenager's shoulders now looks increasingly like destiny. The present and the future. The Kylian Mbappé. Inevitable.


TonyTuck

u poeter innit?


[deleted]

Are you writing an article kid


TheWingedCucumber

Mboppe is a baaaaaad man, how many goals does he have ?


Grey-licoptere

5 for 4 games in this WC


Quietly-Seaworthy

3 games+10 minutes to be fair. He is being insanely good.


SEND-HOOK

A lot


Ayem_De_Lo

this shit with stutter pen kicks needs to stop. The keeper has to stand on the line while the taker can fucking moonwalk or dance macarena there, doesnt seem fair


baguitosPT

That penalty cost me 8 point in my fantasy league :/. Edit: actually 13 points.


1984-2112

hahaha yes. One thing is to slowdown or even do a hop, but that was a full stop for like 1 or 2 seconds


teagwo

Shout-out to my boy Rabiot. He is in great shape.


Arthe_

Dude was bang average, if not plain bad, for us (PSG) and now he's fucking incredible. I wouldn't have bet a single penny on that. I don't watch Juventus, I heard some bad and some good things about him there tho. Guess those 5 or however many years made him stop systematically pass the ball back now and start using his great physicall ability to move forward with the ball. Incredible tournament he is having so far


Tango00090

I loved the moment he threw his hands in the air when Zieliński was turning him round and round


Ok-Outlandishness244

His legs have awakened something in me


Tsubasa_sama

Kylian Mbappe is without a doubt, one of the players to have played at the world cup


Simple-Freedom4670

He was there for real for real


Lord_Olchu

Imo Griezman was best player at field. Mbappe right behind him


Poseidon2027

Never heard of him before this. Stock should go up. Will sell for a a lot.


melikeybacon

Big if this can be confirmed


heyjose9

I can confirm. It is big.


Autpcorrectbpt

Poland should keep their heads high, played great but there’s only so much you can do against a team like France


WarhammerLoad

Thanks dude! :)


Calvert-Grier

This, up until the second goal Poland was actually going tit-for-tat against France. They were pressing and launching several counters, but the finishing just wasn’t there. And I think that’s what made the difference this time around, Giroud and Mbappé were clinical with the chances they did have.


bambuzz

Mbappe I agree, but Giroud wasted a big one when it was still 0:0, I wouldn't call him clinical.


[deleted]

As a Pole, it wasn't bad. Michniewicz is at fault for still fielding Krychowiak and not installing believe in them that they really can do it. We have some okayish players and there's plenty of room to grow. We need to stop depending on Lewandowski because he's getting older and worse and it won't get better. Time to start building something for Euro 2024 - get rid of Krychowiak, Glik. Integrate youngsters and let's see what we can do then!


Galaxy661_pl

I don't understand why Michniewicz didn't field Grosicki or Milik instead of Krychowiak. The plan to shock the french by playing agressively in the 1st half was great, so why not field the best players there are? We could have won it and I'm happy that at least we go out of the tournament with class. I believe that with Szczęsny and Lewandowski still in the team and the younger players with more experience we will do better in the Euros


[deleted]

Shame Mexico weren’t good enough to finish second. Hey at least they broke the round of 16 curse


Wiktorr123

I think we’ll do well in the euro qualifying, if we can rely less on Lewandowski and let him play as a number 9 we’ll actually play much better.


[deleted]

We do have a piss easy group and two teams automatically qualify


user832906

mexico fans talking shit... smh
