Uruguay v France: Quarter Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Antoine Griezmann's individual performance in the quarter-finals brought the Uruguayans to their knees

The World Cup looked like it was the ideal tournament for Antoine Griezmann to showcase his huge inner ability but it wasn't so in the beginning.

Yes, the Australian game was a good one for Griezmann, but most of his other performances had been below the level of expectation the man demanded. This culminated with a substitution against Argentina for Nabil Fekir.

But man did he bounce back against Uruguay! With 1 goal and assist, Antoine was involved in both goals that the French scored. The confidence boost will only help to improve this man's performance and it will be interesting to see how he handles the likes of the Bulky Belgians and who will "Take the L".
