France lost 2-1 to Ivory Coast in a World Cup warm-up last week, with Mbappe hauled off at half-time still stuck on 56 goals — one short of Giroud's all-time France record. The World Cup kicks off in four days and their best player couldn't last 45 minutes in a friendly against a team they should be brushing aside. Are France genuinely flat heading into this tournament, or is everyone panicking over nothing?
