My personal theory is that FIFA got tired of all the complaints against VAR, so they intentionally orchestrated the #FRAvPAR match so that the VAR PK was the only thing saving us for another 30 minutes of this disgraceful performance.

The referee needs to have shown a whole bunch of yellows, maybe even a red.
Apparently punching your opponent doesn't even merit a free kick.
He is losing control of the game

I still remember France v Paraguay from the '98 world cup. That match was the lasting 'what if?' match of that tournament.
France were 5 mins away from penalties against the 98 world cup's best keeper. What might have happened? Claasic match.
