France's exit from the World Cup was a shocking turn of events, with the team failing to impress in their final match. The loss came as a result of a dominant performance by Spain, who outmaneuvered their opponents at every turn.
Former France international Patrick Vieira was quick to point out the mistakes made by his former teammates, singling out defenders Lucas Digne and Desire Doue for their role in Spain's goals. Vieira felt that Digne should have done better in tracking the Spanish player, while Doue was guilty of failing to track Porro's run, allowing Spain to score their second goal.
Vieira expressed disappointment with Doue's performance, stating that the Paris Saint-Germain star should have been more decisive and defensive-minded. As someone who has won the Champions League, Vieira expected Doue to have a higher level of awareness on the defensive end.
Spain's collective performance was hailed by Vieira as 'fantastic', with the team dominating the competition from start to finish. They tactically outmaneuvered France, preventing their opponents from getting comfortable on the ball and stifling the play of talented player Michael Olise.
Vieira felt that France's top players failed to deliver, and that it was not just one or two players who were missing, but the entire team. He described France's performance as 'really bad', and conceded that Spain were the better team on the day.
