I haven't noticed any of that crap from any of the other semi-finalists (or most of the French team for that matter). Anyway, you guys know about football than I do but I would like to think there would be some sort of sportsmanship in the game, or any game.

The funny thing is, it was actually for his team that Mbappe took a booking there to run the clock down and get them into the final.
I honestly can't understand why you have such an issue with this. It's the dying minutes of a World Cup semi, if you lose you may never get another chance to win it. And you can't understand why players try to run the clock down?
Next time you see a free kick given if it's near the opponent's box you may see defenders standing in front of the ball when they should be ten yards away. They do this so you can't take it quickly before your team is in position to defend. Do you have a problem with that too? If England conceded because of that and went out I would be furious at the player.
