    France 4-2 Argentina

    Oh that was his chance. Lionel Messi bursts past a couple of defenders, but loses his balance and his shot is easily held by Hugo Lloris.

    That's the first save of the game.

    Alex: Leaving Dybala and Higuain on the bench is unbelievable

    Ashley: I just want to poke a stick at Messi and be like do something.

    William: Mad thing about this is the average age of the France scorers is about 23, bright future for the French nation

    Javier Mascherano brings down Antoine Griezmann but wins the ball luckily. He's already on a yellow card. Surely this is his last World Cup appearance.

    France 4-2 Argentina

    Ball lands for Maximiliano Meza in the box and his shot is deflected straight into Hugo Lloris' hands.

    Would it be bad if I admitted I'd never heard of Meza before? The same is true of a few of this Argentina squad.

    Ten minutes to go but it really doesn't feel like a comeback is on.

    I feel for Messi in this tournament. I don't think it's for a lack of trying, I think it's for a lack of quality around him.

    They are stretching the game and are dictating the play. It is the perfect position for France to be in.

    Nobody has made a save in this game! Six shots on target and six goals.

    Wow. Kylian Mbappe is the first teenager to score at least twice in a World Cup match since Pele vs Sweden in 1958.

    I don't think I've mentioned Lionel Messi since the Argentine goal early in this half. He's done nothing. You feel this is probably his final international appearance.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    France 4-2 Argentina

    Both teams make a change - Maximiliano Meza replaces Cristian Pavon for Argentina.

    Corentin Tolisso, who might start the next round with Blaise Matuidi suspended, replaces the midfielder.

    Kylian Mbappe has a chance to shoot from 20 yards but instead tries to find a team-mate. So unselfish in the circumstances.

    Adam: France definitely shifting through the gears now.

    PSG signed Kylian Mbappe on loan last year with the option to buy him for 180m euros (£160m now) this summer.

    You suspect that he won't be going back to Monaco...
