    Jodmos: With France's pace this could be dire for Argentina as they need to come out now.

    Femi: No let off this time for out of sorts Argentina. Messi needs to come up with a plan since he is the one in charge of the team.

    Steven: Griezmann and Mbappe look like they mean business. Free-kick was a warning for Argentina, now they've been punished.

    Absolutely superb from Kylian Mbappe. But just moments before his sensational run we finally saw a flash of the real Lionel Messi, let down by a poor touch from Ever Banega who gave the ball away.

    Mbappe stole in, announced his blistering pace to the world once more, and thanks to Antoine Griezmann all the rest may just be history. The fine margins...

    He hasn't really put it in the corner, but he doesn't have to, because the keeper moves early. Griezmann gets the goal but Mbappe deserves the credit.

    Just before Kylian Mbappe's lung-bursting run, I was just about to observe that I haven't seen Lionel Messi in a central attacking position yet.

    It's a ridiculous challenge by Rojo. It is Banega who gives the ball away and Mbappe shows great determination. It's a penalty and I don't know what Rojo is thinking

    France 0-0 Argentina

    Wonderful play by Kylian Mbappe - but terrible defending by Marcos Rojo - and France have a penalty.

    Mbappe picks the ball up midway in his own half and runs 60 yards or more, speeding away from every Argentine. He bursts into the box but in a slightly wide position and Rojo barges him to the ground.

    Exquisite free-kick from Griezmann which was struck with great technique. It is very unlucky but a let-off for Argentina.

    France 0-0 Argentina

    France are so close to leading. Paul Pogba stands over the free-kick and takes a few strides back, Jonny Wilkinson-style, like he's going to take it...

    so it catches some people off guard when Antoine Griezmann hits a fantastic effort which comes back off the crossbar.

    France 0-0 Argentina

    Lots of misplaced passes so far - the game hasn't got going at all.

    Now Javier Mascherano slides in on Kylian Mbappe and concedes a free-kick in a dangerous position. That really is a pace mismatch.

    I thought Di Maria should have had a go at taking Varane on there, but it was poor decision in the end.

    This is the loudest game I've been to out here. The Argentina fans really are getting behind their team. How many more chances will they get to cheer on Lionel Messi at a World Cup?

    The free-kick comes into the box but no Argentine player can do anything with it. It doesn't quite land for Gabriel Mercado.

    Oooof. Lionel Messi drops deep and Blaise Matuidi barges him to the ground. Argentina players surround the referee looking for a yellow card. But none comes.
