Why are you portraying this Club World Cub by making the argument that it would be cool to see the champions of each region face each other? That already existed!
France isn't actually playing negative football. The issue is that their entire attack is disfunctional. Mbappé has been terrible, even before the broken nose. Giroud gets no minutes and his legs may be gone. Thuram and Kolo Muani haven't been effective. Barcola gets no minutes because he's Mbappé's backup. Dembele has been a bright spot, but has no end product. And Griezmann, Deschamps' most important player, looks as tired as Kane for England.
Interesting episode.
Nice to see a WCL mention, but no mention for last year's finalists Wolfsburg being eliminated by Paris FC? The team that has already eliminated Arsenal as well?
