France showed some frailty while becoming the first nation to reach the World Cup knockout phase. But with Kylian Mbappe, their flaws may not matter...
Rasmus Kristensen offered a valiant attempt at locking down the French left but it was dizzying double trouble for the Leeds full-back. With Mbappe looking to get inside him, and Theo Hernandez going the other way, Kristensen was almost doomed to fail.
But, with the modern-era France, everything comes at a cost. Frailty in defence is the price Deschamps must pay for the domination of their attack. And still he seems reluctant to pay it. Even that didn’t shore up France completely. Denmark breached their defence once while Martin Braithwaite and Mikkel Damsgaard both got clearer sights of Hugo Lloris’s goal than the keeper would like.
