France boss Didier Deschamps ruthlessly tore into his side during an interview at the half-time interval of the World Cup final after they were humbled by Argentina.
The defending world champions stumbled out of the blocks against Lionel Scaloni's side, who headed in at the break with a 2-0 lead at the Lusail Stadium. Lionel Messi broke the deadlock from the penalty spot and Angel Di Maria finished a slick team move to double Argentina's advantage just 13 minutes later.
France, who had been struck by a virus in the build-up to the final, looked completely hapless and devoid of energy as they limped to the interval. And Deschamps, who was giving a rare half-time interview, did not hold back with his assessment.
