That is breathtaking and it could be game, set and match. What is remarkable is his calmness for his age. Lovely touch by Giroud and Mbappe doesn't have to even break stride. He plays like a man full of confidence in his own ability.
France 4-2 Argentina
Almost a fifth goal as Paul Pogba finds Olivier Giroud, but he smashes the ball into the side netting.
This game has gone past Argentina now. Although I thought that at 1-0.

Alek: Game of the World Cup by a country mile.

Kylian Mbappe
30 June 2018 - the day Kylian Mbappe established himself as one of the world's best players.
Olivier Giroud pokes a ball through to the teenager, who just so calmly slots the ball past the Argentine keeper from the edge of the box.
That's his third goal of the World Cup.

France 3-2 Argentina
Lionel Messi slams the free-kick into the wall, and then smashes the rebound at a defender. Not great.

He has been the best player on the pitch. Great skill in the box and he has a go with his left foot, but the keeper has to do better. It's a bad mistake. But Mbappe is the difference and he is the superstar of this team.
France 3-2 Argentina
Here comes Sergio Aguero. Enzo Perez is the man replaced. Argentina finally have a striker.

Lionel Messi - the second best number 10 in this game - is fouled by Antoine Griezmann as Argentina win a free-kick.

That is not well defended but credit to Kylian Mbappe. He's been the star man this afternoon. It's a brilliant finish. There's question marks over the goalkeeper but I think he's beaten for power.

Scenes.
France teenager Kylian Mbappe is mobbed by team-mates and substitutes as he puts Les Bleus ahead.
The ball breaks for the game's outstanding player in the box and he takes a couple of touches to lose the defenders and then hits the ball through goalkeeper Franco Armani, who should do better.
Mbappe's low strike puts France ahead
France 2-2 Argentina
France v Argentina is the first World Cup knockout game with multiple goals from outside the box since Netherlands v Uruguay in 2010 (three).
This feels like a while ago now...

David: Two worldies in this game so far. What's to come?
Ed: Come and have a go if you think you’re Pavard enough
Eloise: Man, I just LOVE the World Cup!! What an amazing game to kick off the round of 16
France 2-2 Argentina
Stuttgart's Benjamin Pavard is the first France defender to score a World Cup goal since Lilian Thuram in 1998 (twice v Croatia).
Image source, AFPI know it's early days - and all the other games might end 0-0 - but this is one of the best World Cups I've seen so far.

Brilliant ball from Matuidi initially and then it's a good cross. At first, you think take a touch, but look at that for a strike. We are being spoiled today with the goals and the tempo of football. We've got it all.

You can't score from there! It is a ridiculous finish! He just cuts across the ball. The goalkeeper was absolutely nowhere near it.
A warning for Benjamin Pavard, Nacho was actually dropped for the next game.
