The latest from nrarmour: 'Les Bleus keep right on rolling, the absences barely even noticeable.'
Though France's squad is deep, it has been wracked by injuries. Paul Pogba and N’golo Kante were out before Deschamps named his squad. Karim Benzema, who won the Ballon d'Or a month before the World Cup, was knocked out by a thigh injury after arriving in Qatar.
"I'm not saying I'm lucky, but I have a great pool of players," Deschamps said."They don’t have the same experience. Most don’t have 50 caps, but they play on the best European clubs and are highly performing."He is mesmerizing to watch, an incomparable combination of speed, smoothness and an exquisite finishing touch. And like Pele and Messi, he can conjure up goals seemingly at will.
Denmark equalized in the 68th with a header by Andreas Christensen following a corner kick. But France, and Mbappe, were simply too good. "He’s like a steam train on the pitch," Deschamps said."He's one who gets the crowd going and wants to give it his all for the French team."
