Then I want to ask a question, which I am not going to answer. Is the referee up to the level to referee a World Cup semi-final? There were situations... often to our disadvantage, said Didier Deschamps after the 2-0 loss to Spain in the World Cup semi-final, according to L'Équipe.
However, he admits that that was not why France lost the match.
"The main reason is that we were a little worse and less dangerous offensively than we could have been. We made some technical mistakes and missed passes that could have otherwise led to situations and scoring chances," says Deschamps.
France now faces a bronze medal match on Saturday against the loser of England and Argentina.
It has already been clear that 57-year-old Deschamps, who has been "Les Bleus" national team captain since 2012, will step down after the tournament.
