Mbappé Explains Frustration During Match Restart

French superstar Kylian Mbappé has shed light on his frustration during the restart of their 3-0 World Cup group stage victory against Iraq.

“Why was I angry at the restart? The part of the pitch where we were attacking was completely waterlogged. It took them about 20 minutes to sort out the half where we were defending, but almost nothing was done on our attacking side. I just wanted both halves of the pitch to be prepared equally. But it's not their fault, nothing terrible happened,” Mbappé told L'Équipe.

The match between France and Iraq was temporarily suspended due to adverse weather conditions. After the resumption, the French secured a convincing 3-0 win, with Mbappé netting two goals.

Didier Deschamps' side's next fixture is against Norway, and the outcome will determine who finishes top of the group.
