Kylian Mbappe and France saw their World Cup run come to a frustrating end on Tuesday after Spain won comfortably in the semifinal. France reached the final four with confidence, but Spain controlled the game on both ends of the field and left Didier Deschamps’ side searching for answers.

Mbappe spoke honestly after the loss and pointed to France’s tactical approach. He believed Spain had too much space in midfield, making it difficult for France to disrupt the game.

As usual, this defeat also led to plenty of jokes online. Since the match was played at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, many American sports fans compared Mbappe’s World Cup disappointment to Dak Prescott’s playoff struggles.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Mbappe explained where he thought France fell short.

“We were three against two in midfield and against Spain, that’s hard,” Mbappe said, via ESPN. “Fabian [Ruiz] and Rodri had plenty of time to play. There was a lack of communication on the press. I think we should have done man-to-man press and force them to run with us.”

Many fans focused less on Mbappe’s tactical assessment and more on the result. One viral meme placed Dak Prescott’s face over Mbappe’s body. The image carried the caption, “Kylian Mbappe when it was time to win a playoff game in Dallas.”

The joke spread across X and collected 1.2 million views in less than 24 hours. The post played on Prescott’s postseason record with the Cowboys while tying it to France’s loss inside Dallas’ home stadium.

France still has one match left before the tournament ends. Mbappe and his teammates will play in Saturday’s third-place game against the loser of Wednesday’s semifinal between Argentina and England.

The game will also mark the end of an era for France. It will be Deschamps’ final game as the team’s head coach. Reports say Zinedine Zidane will take over later this summer as France looks to change its style of play.
