World Cup 2022 - Group D

Group D match thread

Laiduni Tunisia are legit.

No pen is the right call there

Good match.

Australia think they are still playing scrub Asian/Oceania teams Wtf is that setup, 1 pivot n trying to play out from the back. Sooo easy fgr France to just press them n terrible on the ball... this gonna be ugly score... Mbappe n Dembele still not scored yet

Man Arg better make top the group, otherwise will get raped by France in the R16 already...

When did Rabiot stop sucking? @Upventus fam.

Australia could have scored at the end. Great header!

RAbiot gets so much GL hate for some reason, always been a good player. Is there a thread about him? Ppl need to own up

Pavard is a clear weak link for France.

Theo Hernandez is such a menace. Idiot DD wasn't even planning on starting him

France is clear of everyone again, futbol total

Relax, Australia are trash. They're like what the US used to be in the 90s.

France loaded but also a bit like England game also, opposition just too weak.

Been saying it, amazing season from him, good through 2022, but specially this season.

The hate just carries too much momentum so he doesn't get recognized as much.

Rabiot has been good so far this season and it saves his year 2022. His implication and reactivity are nice improvements compared to last season when he was useless, not creative, mistake prone in link up play.

His problems are not technical that's why he still had a decent market value even at his lowest point. The mentality is quite poor and from an explanation i found online and agreed with, probably Rabiot is too cerebral on the field. Perhaps Man Utd rejecting his absurd salarial demands woke him up... i bet he signs there for a higher price next summer

It's the last year of his contract. He's playing for a juicy retirement package from some EPL team, or maybe a return to PSG beckons.

I'm not falling for this because he's been disappointing for most of his time here. Beta player.

How many fullbacks have such a presence offensively? He’s a tank

I think this is the tournament where Mbappe stamps himself as the best player in the world.

Mbappe and Theo on one wing together is crazy. They created a goal just between them two out of nothing.

he's got what it takes... just needs to check his ego... with experience he'll become more efficient and less wasteful

I wait to see what he does against better opposition than Australia and Danemark before calling him the best player in the world

He saved my bet for the day so i admit GMbappe is a great guy

Mbappe can't prove himself the best in the world so long as he stays at PSG. He already had a great 2018 wc, what's this one going to do for him? Even if France wins it won't change the fact that he plays on a farmers league ever Sunday and regularly underperforms (as a team) in the CL .

He needs to go to the PL and regularly face the likes of KDB and Haaland if he wants that title.

Lol Haaland. Empty stats mean nothing…. You have to win something or at least get to the really big games and show your quality under that kind of pressure and scrutiny. Not saying Haaland won’t but he hasn’t to date. Mbappe has the stats, big games and trophies.

Mbappe wasn’t carrying France in 2018. He’s carrying France here.
