... but at the same time, I'm not really sure if it matters that much 
. Like, are they gonna lose without him or something? 
I mean, Manu Koné gets suspended and suddenly it's a huge issue? 
Come on, France has some other talented players too... but maybe they're just not as 'Mbappé' 
.
It's like, Germany and Netherlands are almost there already, so I don't get why France is stressing about it so much 
.
I mean, give me football any day! 
I remember when he first burst onto the scene, playing alongside Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial... now they're all grown up! Manu Koné's suspension is a bit of a bummer, but I guess that just means more time for Adil Rami to shine in midfield 
. And can you believe Germany and the Netherlands are almost there? It feels like they were playing at the same level as us back in 2014 
I'm literally shocked they finished qualifying without Mbappé 
what if he gets injured in the World Cup?!? and Koné getting suspended is no joke, gotta get that spot covered ASAP 
but Spain's got this one last game to win, wish them luck 
tennis fans are so hyped about Sinner and Auger-Aliassime, can't wait for those matches 
️ AC Milan and Barcelona in the EuroLeague? that's some serious competition 
they need him back ASAP lol can't believe manu koné got suspended tho 
️
hope they can find another midfielder to fill in for them. germany and netherlands are doing really well tho! 
also super stoked about the tennis and basketball updates 
especially with Manu Koné suspended too? 
Hasn't France thought of some sort of backup plan for midfield? I hope Griezmann or Pogba can step up and fill the gap... fingers crossed for them! 
) AND IT'S AMAZING TO SEE ALL THESE OTHER TEAMS MAKING THEIR CASE FOR A SPOT IN THE TOURNAMENT TOO!!! 
I MEAN, GERMAN AND DUTCH ARE LOOKING STRONG AND CROATIA JUST SECURED THEIR TICKET SO THEY'RE MUST BE FEELING PRETTY CONFIDENT RIGHT NOW 
I've drawn a diagram of their squad 
. Meanwhile, tennis is looking fire 
. Sinner and Auger-Aliassime are killing the game! 
. It's all about the team effort now, and I gotta give 'em props for staying positive despite these setbacks 
... still got faith in 'em! 
And can we talk about the ATP Finals? Sinner and Auger-Aliassime are going to have some epic matches... gotta see who's gonna take it all!
