France national football team

Maynou still didn't feature.

And then ahead of the France game, where he would have been an obvious starter, there was this strange story that came out that he wasn't fit and wasn't available, which didn't seem to have any impact on his pre-season with Manchester United and his availability early in the season.

So...

And we also, you know, we were obviously very active on socials and on YouTube comments and stuff during the World Cup.

Anderson played so many minutes as well.

It's absolutely insane.

that mainly didn't get a minute and then didn't play a part against France.

So whether he had a look at him and just decided he couldn't trust him in footballing ways, whether it's something that happened.

Why not Mbappe, then? Because Kylian Mbappe arrived to Real Madrid two seasons ago.

He left PSG, a team where he was scoring all the goals in the world, winning countless Golden Boots in France, and considered by most people one of the best players in the world.

He left PSG, which he had been aching to do for a while, to join a team that had just won the Champions League, and he joined them to accomplish a goal.

What was his

You couple that with the fact that, again, he's won nothing.

Not for Aston Villa, not for Atletico Madrid, not for AC Milan.

For Real Madrid and France, he won zero trophies.

Let's stop acting like this guy's an underdog at a small team and he's being let down by his teammates.

And I don't think it'll be Lamine Kamara.

Maybe it'll be Manu Kone who played loads of minutes for France.

Anyway, this is on the quarter side.

Chelsea are preparing to revive their interest in Roma midfielder Manu Kone when the January transfer window opens, but they now face, have Liverpool to contend with and Liverpool seem to just constantly spend money forever.

The France international was one of Chelsea's main midfield targets when of course Enzo Fernandez went to City for 125 million pounds.

A deal ultimately failed to materialize, but the Blues have not abandoned their interest.

Of course, we had, what's his face? Lamine Kamara done pretty much, but then Chelsea was fuming after they pulled out.

Club already full of poor quality players.

don't know what that means with regards to these two players and look for me i have a very clear preference which one i'd want to come into the football club but i don't want to you know put my opinion out there just yet we're going to leave the poll go a bit longer but i mean let's look at the two options that are there and mention that and of course we'll we'll talk about the prices of them so we'll go through the reports today and as we mentioned in our earlier video Today's report coming from the Liverpool Echo said that Liverpool have inquired about a move for Roma and France midfielder Manu Kone.

According to Italian media outlet Tudor Mercado, Liverpool have asked about the Frenchman and could make a more determined move in the coming months.

Roma insisted and resisted a late push from Chelsea in the final hours of the transfer window, including an offer of just over £51m.

But, you know, if we're being honest and talk about best fit for the position, you know, he's probably it.

Has Premier League experience.

Obviously has great experience now with France and with Bayern Munich.

He'd still only be 25 next summer.

O sea, es el generador de fútbol, anda muy bien, es otro maravilloso, es maravilloso.

A ver, en Francia, en Francia, en Francia era el genio Michel Platini o Zidane y no eran los goleadores.

E-ahí estamos equivocados.

En la Francia de Zidane, el genio era, el genio era Zidane.

Era Zidane, no era Thierry Henry.

En la Francia de Michel Platini, era Michel Platini el genio y no era el goleador, no era ni Rocheteau, no era nadie, no era ni Copara ni nadie.

Era Michel Platini.

O sea, cuando tiene un jugador que es capaz de generar, de generar fútbol, como te da la-

And both of my remaining matches took place in this World Cup.

But the first one I'm going to share with you is France v Kuwait.

So a lot was made, wasn't it, in the previous World Cup about Trump getting involved with the Bosnia v. USA match and getting that red card overturned.

But this goes even further than that.

So in the World Cup Spain 1982, a few nations were making their debut.

So there was Honduras, Cameroon, New Zealand, Algeria, who come up later, But for the first time and last time at a World Cup, we also had Kuwait.

And Kuwait were drawn in a group with England, France, and Czechoslovakia.

So you think, well, that's a group of death for Kuwait.

Sí.

Le gana a Francia en la semifinal del mundial, termina-

Perfecto

...siendo el campeón del mundo.

France's loss likely feels more devastating because of the history of Team USA and just how effective the French women were to start the game.

Les Bleus lost to the U.S. in the 2024 Paris Olympics by one point after Gabby Williams made a long field goal at the buzzer that was ruled a two-pointer instead of a three because her toe was on the line.

In light of that defeat, and it being France's first appearance in the Women's World Cup gold medal game, there was an understanding that the contest would be emotional.

Quote, if I'm honest, we have nothing to lose.
