Adrien Rabiot was ‘disappointed’ with the conduct of some of his teammates in France’s 6-4 World Cup loss to England.England came out on top in Saturday’s incredible third place play-off to seal their best World Cup finish since winning the tournament in 1966.Kylian Mbappe scored twice to edge ahead of Lionel Messi as the all-time leading World Cup goalscorer, but the France captain couldn’t help his country avoid defeat to EnglandGettyThe goal-laden contest in Miami was the joint third highest-scoring World Cup match of all time.And despite seeing his side reduce England’s 4-0 half-time lead to 4-3 midway through the second half, Rabiot didn’t like what he saw on the whole.“We started the first half quite shamefully,” the AC Milan midfielder told beIN SPORTS.“I saw behaviour from some players that I’d never seen before. It’s a bit disappointing because it was the last match to do well in this competition.“There’s a lot of disappointment after the loss against Spain, but there was work to be done until the very end and we can’t just be content with sloppy play like that.“We talked at halftime; we told ourselves we needed to show some pride, and it was much better in the second half because in the first half, some of the behavior was unacceptable.”Les Bleus crumbled in 2018 World Cup-winning manager Didier Dechamps’ final game in charge, and the departing France boss didn’t seem to have the full respect of all his players.Notably, during the first-half hydration break, Manchester City winger Rayan Cherki appeared to argue with Deschamps before walking away.Cherki was one of five France players to receive ratings of 2/10 from French sports newspaper L’Equipe, notorious for its harsh criticism.Cherki clashed with Deschamps in the first halfGettyDeschamps is set to be succeeded as France boss by Zinedine ZidaneAFPPrior to the third place play-off, Deschamps had noted both sides’ reluctance to take part.“England does want to play this game and neither do we,” he said.But for England, the result somewhat lifted the mood after the disappointing nature of their semi-final exit to Argentina.Bukayo Saka became the first Three Lions player since Geoff Hurst in the 1966 final to score a World Cup hat-trick, with Jude Bellingham‘s seventh goal of the tournament making him his country’s top scorer in a single edition.“This is the best England group for a very long time,” Declan Rice, captain on the day with Harry Kane rested, said.“That’s a fact. No one can take that away from us.“I think we can be proud as a group – we are just gutted we lost in that semi-final.”The 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, live on talkSPORT, kicks off at 8pm BST on Sunday.
