Great save. Disappointing but props to the keep!
Hoping for a Senegal win today and a good exciting Poland/France game.
Looks like a foul on Poland not France, tough yellow
Wow golden chances for Poland
This is a wonderful first half by Poland. Guess their bunkering in against Argentina might pay off with fresh legs
Wow. France with three huge saves in rapid succession.
France gets one. Giroud passes Henry for all time French goals
These French kits are elite. I'm not sure why Nike has so much trouble doing better for the US national team.
I'd guess it's because the French tell Nike exactly what they want and the USSF lets Nike freelance for the most part.
Ref gives a yellow on a what should have been a corner
So inconsistent and poor

French defender also wore a long gold necklace for almost the entire first half without anyone noticing. Which is funny because he played the ball in the first 5 minutes and I noticed it flopping around.
I have to say I think this referee is having a brutal game. He's given two cards for tackles, one to each team, and gotten both wrong. The play this half I think is an expected fair tackle at this level. And in the first half he gave the card to the FRA defender and IMHO it was 100% a foul on the polish player who was late.

I thought only Mejico was allowed to wear 3 colours
That call was right. Just bad optics and luck that the ball was in the net right after.
Yo mean you can't climb up a defenders back?
MmmmBop touch is pretty poor for an elite player

So easily frustrated. Looks like his head is out of the game.
How do you leave him that wide open? Good gravy
How do you leave him that unmarked for that long?
You cannot stand off Mbappe like that. Defense just stood there and let him shoot
IDK. Mbappe looks pretty decent to me.
Counter attacks
Ball either needs to go in the back of the net or out for a GK
Cannot let that happen or you pay against

Lol Holden acting like Mbappe wasn't already a household name in 2018
Mbappe is on another level
That was an uncalled U10 level foul throw at 84'
Best player in the world right now.

This aged well.
Mbappe good.
He's gonna break the goals record easily at WCs.
France might win the next several world cups unless he gets hurt

MmmmBop uses his left foot never
Shooting is def his strength

Poland is showing that having a world class striker isn't guaranteed win. You need others to get him the ball.
I'd say England beats Senegal later today setting up a QF with France. I expect France and Mbappe being too much for the Three lions.

He's a freak no doubt. I admittedly haven't watched him a ton. I think his low work rate is what was standing out to me. He kind of looks disinterested most of the time. Obviously by design!
Shin and tonic

The US needs someone as gorgeous at Giroud if we want to ever win the WC.
