French football fans are pouring out their bitterness.
According to them, if it weren't for Argentina's team leader Lionel Messi, their favorites would have become world champions.
However, not all fans have accepted the idea that Qatar was only "just" second place and lost to the Argentines in the final after a penalty shootout.
A photo was taken of how a mat with L. Messi's name was immediately laid out in a café in France and visitors were urged to carefully wipe their feet.
