Never before! France have already made unwanted history
France are currently making a fool of themselves in the World Cup third-place playoff — it is already a humiliation of historic proportions.
Today’s match for third place was not exactly approached with much anticipation by either team after their respective bitter semi-final disappointments.
For one team, however, the match had already turned into an absolute historic nightmare in the first half.
France conceded their first goals as early as the 3rd and 16th minute. According to ‘StatsduFoot’, it is the first time in the history of the French national team that they have conceded two goals in the opening 20 minutes of a World Cup match.
The last time France were 2-0 down after 20 minutes at all was against Romania in 2008, while the last time they conceded at least two goals in back-to-back World Cup matches was at the tournament 16 years ago.
But as we all know, it got even worse. Before half-time, Saka added two more goals. That is bound to hurt. It is the very first time ever that France have conceded at least four goals in the first half of a major tournament match.
The French stars’ (lack of) performance is already being heavily criticised — and of course it could get even worse in the second half. We’re intrigued.
What do you make of this crazy first half? Write it in the comments!
