French fans were left fuming after Les Bleus stumbled to a 2-2 draw against Iceland in their 2026 World Cup qualifier on Monday, October 13, 2025. It was supposed to be a routine win, but it turned into a night of frustration, disbelief, and finger-pointing.
With Kylian Mbappe out injured and Didier Deschamps trying a rotated squad, Softfootball understands that most supporters still expected France to see the job through. Instead, defensive errors and a visible lack of sharpness let Iceland, who hadn't earned a single point in their last two games, walk away with a stunning draw.
One fan, Nationpick0, captured the mood perfectly via his official X account , summing up how stunned many French supporters were. With all the talent France has at their disposal, this kind of slip-up felt inexcusable.
