It has not been the best first half for France in the Qatar 2022 Final against Argentina. Before halftime, Didier Deschamps decided to take Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembele out of the field, which provoked tons of reactions by fans on social media.
Before the break, Argentina went up with a 2-0 score against France with Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria as the scorers. Of course this surprised everybody, including Didier Deschamps, who made some changes before halftime.
Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembele, who had a remarkable FIFA World Cup, were replaced by Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani. Fans reacted to this move and questioned Deschamps’ decision a lot.

Can’t believe Deschamps subbed Giroud and Dembele off when it was Rabiot and Tchoameni having stinkers

If Deschamps thinks this mess was primarily Giroud’s fault, then he’s been watching a different game from the rest of us.

France should’ve taken Kounde off instead of Giroud. Di Maria is using my guy on that right side! #Qatar2022 #ARGFRA #FIFAWorldCup

I get taking giroud off to put mbappe in middle but i feel like taking dembele off too seems crazy??

Giroud coming off too is a bit crazy. He’s really important for France.

Imagine replacing Giroud and Dembele in the World Cup final ��
They just want Argentina to win which is W actually— Raja that’s crazy!!!�������� (@theillegalpaki) December 18, 2022
Perhaps Giroud’s substitution is mainly due to Mbappe not tracking back and helping out Theo Hernandez. #ArgentinaVsFrance
