Mbappe and Giroud celebrated, the French team defeated Australia 1:4

The world champion saw the third day of matches in the World Cup in Qatar opened with one of the biggest sensations in the form of Argentina’s loss to Saudi Arabia, after which Denmark, who is at home, lost points in a draw against Tunisia and it was already possible to imagine that we are on our way to another earthquake when Australia took the lead at Al Janoub Stadium In the ninth minute, but France came to their senses, became 1:4 and celebrated an almost perfect opening for them in Qatar.

France was a huge disappointment in the European Championship held in the summer of last year, when it only beat Germany in the group stage and fortunately advanced to the round of 16 despite drawing with Portugal and Hungary, but its path was stopped in the last 16 stage by Switzerland at the end of a penalty shootout in which Mbappe missed. Today, excluding the difficult opening for the tricolor, it already seemed to be completely different.
