📸 What’s going on here?!?! Now even France are wobbling

Source Summary

That Senegal are a strong team and that this would be no walk in the park for France today was fairly clear. But the fact that the French, with perhaps the best squad at the entire World Cup, are struggling this badly here is pretty wild. Didier Deschamps’ side, looking a little unfocused, have barely produced any notable attacking moves so far, while Senegal came really close to taking the lead. After a superb through ball, former Bayern player Nicolas Jackson got his shot away and hit the post. The ball then bounced off the woodwork onto France keeper Maignan’s leg and missed the goal by the finest of margins. Shortly before the break, Ismaïla Sarr had the next huge chance for the impressive underdogs. After a cross from former Bayern star Sadio Mané, the ball dropped to the Palace star, who blasted it over the bar from point-blank range. Alongside their attacking threat, the West Africans have also looked really solid defensively so far. If Senegal can produce the same level of performance in the second 45 minutes, France could become the next World Cup favourite after Spain to get off to a bad start.
