Gill mocks France after Mbappé incident

Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill admitted mocking France after kicking the ball at Kylian Mbappé's back following their World Cup victory.

Orlando Gill acknowledged having "a moment of heat" when he kicked the ball at Mbappé's back as the Frenchman celebrated France's qualification for the quarterfinals. "I congratulated him, but as he didn't acknowledge me, I lost my temper for a moment," Gill explained in the mixed zone.

The Paraguayan goalkeeper later calmed down and congratulated France for their victory, emphasizing that this is football and suggesting opponents should get used to such moments. newsbetting.cv
