With a 1-1 draw against Poland on Tuesday, France's struggles to score goals at Euro 2024 continued. During the first half, Kylian Mbappe, who was clearly agitated, got into a furious argument with coach Didier Deschamps and pointed to several spots on the field. With just two goals in three games—an own goal against Austria and a penalty kick by Mbappe against Poland—this exchange brought attention to France's continued struggles.

The draw left France second in Group D, marking the first time in Deschamps’ 12-year tenure that the team did not top their group stage pool, amplifying fans' concerns over their scoring issues. Despite dangerous play from wingers Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, who made his national team debut, France's attack lacked finishing precision. Mbappe, wearing a mask to protect a broken nose from the opening win over Austria, managed to break the deadlock with a penalty, marking his 48th goal in 81 appearances for France but his first in a European Championship.

France dominated the game, achieving 55 touches in the opponent's penalty box, the most by any team in the tournament so far. Deschamps introduced experienced forwards Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud from the bench to secure a win, but it was Poland's captain Robert Lewandowski who scored the equalizer with a re-taken penalty.

Deschamps expressed his frustration at France's inefficiency, acknowledging their failure to capitalize on numerous chances. Despite the disappointment, he noted that France had qualified for the knockout stage and emphasized the need to move forward without regrets. France is set to face the runners-up in Group F, currently Turkey, who have conceded four goals in two matches, potentially offering France a chance to regain their scoring form.
