Cascarino described the French players as “oversold, overpaid, and arrogant,” suggesting that they embody the stereotype of “modern football scoundrels” that people complain about. He highlighted the team’s lack of popularity among the audience, emphasizing the lasting impact of the team’s implosion during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Pascal Praud, a former TF1 journalist, also expressed negative sentiments towards the French team, stating that people can’t stand them anymore. He mentioned specific dissatisfaction with Patrice Evra and claimed that people want the team to be eliminated to avoid seeing this generation of players in action.
These critical comments reflect the public’s frustration and disappointment with the French national team, particularly after their recent 2-0 defeat against Ukraine. The team’s performance has stirred controversy and raised concerns about their ability to qualify for the World Cup.
