Supporters have taken to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to express their disappointment and blame key individuals for what they deem a “catastrophic” performance impacting their 2026 World Cup hopes. Captain Kalidou Koulibaly is also facing intense criticism, with some questioning his commitment and performance, alleging involvement in multiple goals conceded. Fans accuse Koulibaly of being selfish and a negative influence on the team. Beyond individual players, concerns are raised about the team’s overall disorganization and Thiaw’s tactical decisions and perceived arrogance.
