France Falls to Spain in Semifinal Match
The French national team suffered a defeat against Spain in the semifinal match, with key players like Michael Olise, Kylian Mbappe, and Ousmane Dembele failing to meet expectations.
The French team, widely praised up to the semifinal stage of the World Championship, was expected to reach the final for the third time in a row. However, they appeared in a completely different form against Spain and logically suffered a defeat.
Despite being filled with stars, the French team couldn't find a savior among their leaders this time.
The highest rating given was 10 points (with a starting rating of 6.0).
MICHAEL OLISE – 3.0. Before the championship, Olise was described as a player capable of single-handedly beating opponents. However, it seems Spain doesn't fall into that category. Michael barely showed anything: he didn't complete a single effective dribble and instead wasted nearly twenty attacks.
KYLIAN MBAPPE and OUSMANE DEMBELE – each with a rating of 3.0. These two forwards showed almost the same picture. They either woke up and joined the game too late or not at all.
LUKA DIN – 3.0. France played poorly, moved slowly, and looked weak – that's a fact. However, the game could have taken a different turn if Luka Din hadn't crudely given away a penalty in the middle of the first half.
