Better team won and that kid Mbappe has the world at his feet, 19 ffs 

Yep, football won tonight. Impressed by the strength of France and although not the most talented team, they more than made up for it with their positioning. Hope Stevie was watching and taking notes.

Watching some highlites and what Mbappe did was exactly what Gazza was brilliant at, grabbing the ball deep and driving forward with his upper body strength making him difficult to stop.

Aye the guy is quality for someone so young. No fear.

Just imagine that last gasp effort from Argentina had gone in, France would have been playing for 30 mins without Mbappe and Griezman, fine margins.

Griezman had a good game and has a great attitude.

He had several chances to drop down for penalty and one of them would actually be a pen, when Fazio grabbed his shirt, right before Pavard goal. Instead, he kept going. If that was Neymar he would have been diving in the box for fun up there.

Exactly, and one of the moments I thought of when I mentioned his attitude.

Don't rate this guy to be honest.

That first game was a quality watch just hoping for more of the same from this match, overall I have enjoyed this world cup aside from Germany's terrible effort.

Been a great world cup so far, just the odd rotten game.
