I mean you don't feck about with any injury. But if you play professional sport you're willingly fecking with it for money.
Injury is one thing. Concussion is different. As per other sports, I believe we'll see a lot of rule changes over the next few years to reduce the risk of repeated concussions.

Is a three man midfield really a “pivot”?
Well very clearly Kante is at the base of a triangle, with Pogba forward of him on the right and Rabiot forward of him on the left. So yes a 4-3-3 but with a distinct shape.

Got both man and ball but touched Mbappe first. Difficult one to assess in such a slow replay but glad it wasn’t given.

I like how sparingly VAR is being used compared to the PL but that was a penalty and it should have been picked up and pulled back.

Goes through Mbappé, takes him down and gets a minimal touch on the ball that barely changes its direction. Pen for me.

That VAR decision was bad enough that I feel sorry for the ref.

Has Deschamps forgot he can make subs ? He will probably rotate 3 or 4 for Hungary but still...
