Inexcusable Behavior of Some Players
France's 6-4 loss to England in the World Cup 2026 third-place match was not the only surprise for Adrien Rabiot, but rather the behavior of some of his teammates. The AC Milan midfielder criticized a « honteuse » first half and the behavior of some players he had never seen before.
« We entered the first half in a rather shameful way (lost 0-4). I saw the behavior of some players that I had never seen before. It's a bit disappointing, because it was the last match to do well in this competition », said Rabiot in an interview with BeIN Sports.
Deschamps' Reaction
When asked about the player's comments in the press conference, France's coach, Didier Deschamps, refused to fuel the fire. « It's me who made a mistake, he said, refusing to single out a particular player. I should have made choices from the start of the match and it might have gone better after ».
France's Next Match
France is in good form, with a series of five consecutive victories, including the last one against Morocco on July 9, 2026 (2-0). France's next match is against Turkey on September 25, 2026.
