Les Bleus defeated Poland in their Round of 16 tie, to set up a clash with either England or Senegal.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice, while Olivier Giroud opened the scoring with his record-breaking goal as France scored three.

Robert Lewandowski scored a consolation goal for the Eagles, but fans weren't happy with their general performance.

The team were criticised for failing to give Les Bleus a run for their money in the clash, while Lewandowski was the only player who received some praise.

Fans comment on Poland's performance

@katulw

"Poland has failed to give France competition."

@junken8L

"France ate Poland alive!! #FIFAWorldCup"

@Rkxaid15:

"Poland did more against France than they ever did against Argentina."

@PAKCricketFns1:

"France has no competition against Poland. Cupcake game for France. Poland have played third-class football in the World Cup. It was just a fluke that they qualified for the Round of 16."

@InformRacing:

"I thought Poland were pretty poor overall but had some half chances. Not sure France gel as a team but with Mbappe, there's always hope for them. It will be a tough quarter-final against them......whoever wins tonight."

@pagrev:

"Skipped the France vs Poland game. Seen enough of Poland's last game."

The 36-year-old was handed a starting berth for Les Bleus against Poland on Sunday afternoon at the Al Thumama Stadium, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The reigning world champions were overwhelming favourites heading into the game, and rightly took the lead through the AC Milan forward.
