10 Most Disappointing Players Of World Cup 2018's Group Stage

10. Ousmane Dembélé

Plenty of pre-tournament hype was focused on the attacking talents of France, with young players like Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé expected to light up the tournament with their raw talent and flair. Mbappé has been a revelation, but Dembélé struggled to show the same flair and talent as his compatriot.

Renowned for his confidence, speed, and trickery, Dembélé has been a shadow of the player that Barcelona were happy to spend over €100 million on just a year ago. He's attempted nine crosses so far, failing to connect with any of them, and only managed three shots in the group stage, all of which were off target.

It's possible that Dembélé's injury woes over the last year have played some part in his lack of form, and he'll really need to step up to play any role in Les Bleus growing challenge for the World Cup trophy.
