Piers Morgan Makes Another Heboh, Calls The French National Team Toxed Before The 2022 World Cup Final
JAKARTA - Piers Morgan made headlines again by sensationally claiming that the French national team was poison ahead of the World Cup final.
Les Bleus appeared weak in the first half against Argentina before rising to equalize to 2-2.
Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick was able to send the game into a penalty shootout, but Les Bleus lost 2-4 in the high-fives.
However, with the French squad being crushed by the disease before the quarter-final against England, Morgan stated that the cause was much scary.
"It's not a virus, the French team was clearly poisoned," Morgan tweeted.
While people enjoy this conspiracy story, especially those related to football, this is not deep enough for people who saw Ronaldo Nazario's collapse ahead of the French final 98.
However, why Morgan took such a stance is still unclear, especially because it brings nothing but criticism and ridicule in his responses on social media.
Didier Deschamps confirmed that his team was affected by the camp's illness, but declined to show it as an excuse of defeat against Argentina.
"We are facing a difficult situation, there are some fatigue, maybe it has a physical or psychological impact, but I'm not worried about the players starting the game, they're 100 percent fit," Deschamps told a post-match press conference..
When exactly Morgan believes this 'poison' is also unclear, especially with the first report of disease in the Les Bleus squad coming before the quarter-final match against England.
Just before the final against Argentina, Raphael Varane missed a training session on Friday due to illness, while Dayot Upamecano missed the semi-final match against Morocco.
