Ppl forget that France knocked out Argentina in 2018. Mbappe was on that team and now are teammates. Why would there be issues now.

I wouldnt think there really is any issue. I guess people think Mbappe wasnt there on purpose, but really he probably is just taking time for himself. He probably has absolutely no ill-will towards Messi, but I can imagine a loss like that would weigh heavily on any player. I cant imagine putting in that effort, scoring a freaking hat trick in the final, and losing. That mustve been rough.

Ok, but it's not like they hate each other? Athletes lose to each other all the time and remain on good terms.

I’m sorry but why would France deserve to win? I get he was bummed not to win but that is literally the game, they played hard until the bitter end and then penalties, which still require both shooting and goalkeeping skills, decided the winner. That’s the game. That’s how it’s always been. It’s not like some new unheard of rule was invented to give Argentina the edge.

To say that he thought France should win just makes him sound like a sore loser.

Same person who uses the same logic on last minute basketball free throws I gather.

I think this is a weird take. It wasn't a sloppy finale, both teams played well and fair. Athletes in many sports play for their country and go back to their respective team afterwards with teammates from other countries.
