French midfielder Kouadio Kone posted on his personal social media, expressing regret and gratitude for his FIFA World Cup journey.

Kouadio Kone said: "We couldn't get the job done... Days go by, but the pain still hasn't faded. Seeing the disappointment in your eyes is truly heartbreaking... However, I will always be grateful that I was able to participate in my first FIFA World Cup and play for the French team.

Truly, glory be to God 🙌🏾 I also feel that the word 'thank you' is far from enough to express my gratitude to the head coach, the coaching staff, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to keep us in the best condition. We originally wanted to give you the best gift before you left. We also wanted to bring a grand celebration to all French team fans, but that's just how it is. With pride, with faith, and with your support, we will rise again ♨️"
