After taking an early lead against Les Bleus in their Group D encounter on Tuesday through Craig Goodwin, the Socceroos eventually succumbed to France's quality, letting in four goals before the final whistle.
Speaking after the game, Central Coast Mariners forward Jason Cummings admitted to trying to take Mbappe's shirt home with him, but revealed that his offer was declined by the 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker. "I gave him mine, we're standing there, tops off. Ten minutes later he came back with both the Socceroos kits and he just gave me my top back and he said, 'nah, he doesn't want to swap'. He probably took a look at mine and thought, 'I'll just leave it'.
