Why he might be annoying:

He presided over France's embarrassing 1-0 home loss to Portugal during the Euro 2016.
He represented France during the 2018 World Cup despite playing for a UK-based Football Club (which would have made the final a little awkward had England beat Croatia during the semi-finals).
A video of him nearly swallowing - and then disgustedly spitting out - a dragonfly that zoomed into his mouth during a match against Uruguay went viral on social media (July 6, 2018).
He failed to dribble around Mario Mandzukic in the World Cup final, costing France a goal.
He was criticized for allowing his eight-year-old daughter to sit on the edge of the Nice City Hall during France's victory celebration.

Why he might not be annoying:

He has been called a sweeper-keeper.
He is a skilled Tennis player who ranked high in France's national standings before choosing to focus on soccer.
He gained national respect for playing in a Nice match two days after his mother's death, opting out of a bereavement leave offer (2008).
He is a three-time winner of the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year award.
He earned his 100th cap in France's 1–0 win over Peru in their second group stage game of the 2018 World Cup.
He remained level-and-cool-headed going into the World Cup final, asking that France not be considered 'the favorite' to win despite the odds heavily being in their favor.
