"We deserved it": France fans lament after losing World Cup final to Argentina



France fans said they were “disappointed” as they left Lusail Stadium in Qatari capital of Doha on Sunday after watching their team get beaten 4-2 by Argentina in an extraordinary World Cup final.

“We deserved to win, we don’t like Argentinas,” one fan said while waving the French flag. “Messi got the World Cup he wanted, I don’t want to say I’m happy for him but very good journey for him,” another said.

French President Emmanuel Macron comforted Didier Deschamps’ squad at the locker room of Lusail stadium. He said he shared in the sadness of French people, and that they should “remain proud of this team.”

In Paris, dismayed French soccer fans hoping to celebrate on the Champs Elysees avenue instead headed home in disappointment, after Argentina snatched a penalty shootout victory in Sunday’s World Cup final.

Some accepted the results, despite feeling sad that after a match that was all Argentina for the first 80 minutes before a Kylian Mbappe-led comeback left the French thinking they might steal an unlikely win.

  1. I love my President Macron. I love my favorite Captain Mbappe. It sucks that France didn't win. But Us French always get up after a fall. Needless to say, we'll get our Cup in 4 years. Until then, Vive la France! 🇫🇷

  3. First woman, u really deserved to win?? The french team didn't do anything in the entire world cup, in the final it was dead the entire first time and started to wake up in the final minutes…..no france didn't even deserved to be in the final, there should've been morroco, only a couple teams did something in the cup, argentina, morroco, croatia, spain, japan and poland, but the final should've been against morroco…they really did something, but france….the don't even exist..

  4. ahah i see nothing changes:), the same many french people said in 2006, i mean – 'we deserve it'. I always say if you deserve it then why did not you score more goals or win penalty shootout, pure and simple. As for me Argentina looked better and had more dangerous moments. Also like one man said – 'don't swing fists after a fight'.

  6. 2022- 23 stats of messi and mbappe for club and country
    Mbappe : 28 goals 8 assists : 36 G/A contribution
    Messi : 24 goals 18 assists : 42 G/A contribution
    Messi at 35 is still competiting and have better stats than 23 year old mbappe.
