🖥️ Online reaction to France masterclass: They'd have torn us apart | OneFootball

Several weeks before the 2026 World Cup had even begun, all of football-loving Germany was already talking about the looming round-of-16 clash with France.

But since the DFB team embarrassed itself to the core and crashed out against Paraguay in the round of 32, that showdown will not be happening after all. And if the internet is anything to go by, that may actually be a good thing...

Or to put it even more bluntly: 

The background: In their 3-0 win over Sweden, the French turned in a simply outstanding performance and could easily have won by an even bigger margin.

Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise in particular really put on a show against the helpless Scandinavians. FC Bayern was celebrating too.

It is becoming increasingly clear that this summer’s World Cup title may indeed only be won by getting past France.
