"Il y a penalty 100 fois ! Se défausser sur l'arbitrage, c'est souvent une preuve de lâcheté"

Defeated by Spain in the 2026 World Cup semi-final, the French team saw its dream of a third consecutive final vanish. Beyond the loss, Didier Deschamps' tactical choices are being heavily criticized and are fueling the debate ahead of the third-place match. 00:00 World Cup: France with a hangover this morning… Did we get too cocky? Daniel Riolo's analysis 01:49 Daniel Riolo: "We got too cocky, but major international competitions always generate excessive enthusiasm." 02:53 Daniel Riolo: "Against Spain, you can't lose gracefully because, in any case, the grace is on them. They have the ball, they play beautiful football. The solution to beat them is to play dirty." 04:41 Daniel Riolo: "We arrived at the World Cup with four strikers. We were all happy. But I think we made mistakes in our analysis. We lost our footing. We didn't realize we hadn't beaten anyone." 11:59 Listener: "There's only one person responsible, and that's Didier Deschamps. I have a question for Deschamps: Are Koundé and Tchouaméni your sons-in-law? Get rid of them, damn it! You've got Zaïre-Emery having an incredible season with PSG. Koné is holding the fort." 15:20 Daniel Riolo: "There were penalties a hundred times. Blaming the referee is often a sign of cowardice and shows that we didn't control the match." 📻📺📲 News-Talk-Sport / Radio-TV-Digital | ⏰🎙👥 Our shows: #ApollineMatin #GGRMC #EstelleMidi ▶️ All videos are available on the RMC app https://bit.ly/3l0watr Follow us on social media Facebook -   / rmcinfo   Twitter -   / rmcinfo   Instagram -   / rmc_off
