hopefully Argentina team behavior will be less shamefull than their football fellow-citizens (not challenging...).
Allez les bleus! And "use your hands right" would probably say Monsieur Thierry Henry.

Both teams did a lot of kicking back and forth.

French football players use their hands while French rugby players use their feet. I don't get it.

World Rugby promises action over delays getting into World Cup stadiums
https://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2023/091 ... um-delays/

none of those hold ups in Belgium.

Donal Lenihan said Irish supporters were "like cattle in a track" trying to get to the stadium for the Rugby World Cup game against Romania in Bordeaux on Saturday, where water was also reportedly unavailable despite the 35c heat

If you don;t like crowd, you shouldn't go to crowded places like stadiums.
If you don't like warm temperatures, you shouldn't travel to Southern France.
QED?
It is generally difficult for a sports fans but maybe these grown men should have thought a little in advance and brought their own bottles of water? 
For later matches in the competition, please acknowledge it is France but do not expect the French Government will be there to provide you with cold water and ice creams.

I could hear Dublin cheer collectively at full time on Saturday.  The pubs were crazy.
