Antoine Griezmann can scarcely believe he’s playing at the World Cup.
With Franck Ribery out injured, Griezmann has been thrust into France’s attack and into the spotlight. Despite playing only a few international games, he looks settled and was impressive at times in Sunday’s 3—0 win over Honduras in Group E.
The 23-year-old Griezmann’s national team prospects appeared dim when he was banned by the French Football Federation for one year over a disciplinary issue.
When asked how he would have reacted a year ago to be told he’d be playing on football’s biggest stage, he says- “I would probably have said ‘Are you having a laugh?’”
