mbappe did a few things in previous games that were a bit cringeworthy (gamesmanship stuff), but he;s young and so brilliant.

Neymar is also brilliant, but still a diving cheat. As is Mbappe.

That was the case here.

This I agree with.

Don’t get how people keep saying hand is in a natural position... he literally slams the ball down 😆

At best you could argue that his arms were coming down with his jump but I don’t by that. Doesn’t look remotely natural.

Eh?

He was already well on his way down when he gets clipped. He plays for it. Just so happens that the guy would have fouled him anyway.

So he was gonna dive but he was fouled so he didn't dive?

I mean, fk are given for fouls and Griezman was fouled... So how was the goal won by cheating?

this.. completely unnatural downward motion. seemed ridiculously clear to me

Pepe LeFrits

Launch yourself in the air and you'll probably find your arms go down when you land. At any rate, the ball hit his hand immediately after Matuidi missed his header. He should be a keeper if he can react that fast 😆

I'm incline to say it was a deliberate handball but I don't think there's enough certainty to say it was a penalty.

There’s still doubt. Proximity and the fact that he was jumping means you can’t be certain. I said before he gave it that it’s a tough call. Saying his hands were in a natural position though makes it sound like his arms never moved.

nice play by croatia, good save from lloris

I didn’t say it was down to cheating.

He dived and it was a foul.

Holy mbappe

banduan

What a sequence of play Giroud great touch to Pogba with great long pass to Mbappe, who really shoulda done better.

USArsenal

Nzonzi on for Kante.. good sub

banduan

Kante who's been clearly struggling taken off.

Ray

Mbappe could have easily gone down there for a pen.

Big Willie

Kante looks like a 12 year old.

Gazza M

Good sub. France need to keep the ball better

Never saw him as a cheat. The last game was the only time I've seen noticeable shenanigans from him

Gunner89

Whenever I've seen Kante in a big game he's struggled.

Ozil took him to the cleaners a couple of years ago.

arsedocmd

Lol how was that not a foul
