“I’ve Seen Behaviour that I Had Never Seen Before” - France Star Slams ‘Unacceptable’ Mentality From Teammates After FIFA World Cup Loss

Adrien Rabiot said some France players showed shameful behavior in the first half after England scored 4 goals and won 6-4.

  • England secured a 6-4 victory over France in the FIFA World Cup third-place playoff, with The Three Lions establishing a dominant 4-0 lead during a chaotic first half.
  • France midfielder Adrien Rabiot criticized his teammates' attitude during the opening 45 minutes, admitting that early defensive lapses proved insurmountable despite Les Bleus mounting a second-half fightback.
  • Bukayo Saka spearheaded England's attacking display with a hat-trick, propelling the side to the high-scoring result as both nations entered the fixture expressing shared disappointment over the playoff format.
  • Didier Deschamps' tenure as France manager concluded with the defeat, with the World Cup-winning captain departing as Zinedine Zidane is widely expected to assume control of the national team.
  • Rabiot emphasized the team's legacy, stating, "We shouldn't forget everything we've done," as Les Bleus finished outside the podium following successive defeats in the semi-final and bronze-medal matches.
