France 1-1 Argentina
No great surprise that the equaliser came from a moment of individual brilliance and not some great tactics.

Stephen: As bad as Di Maria has been, that was a good goal. France constantly with 2 watching Messi made the space
Anthony: Game on! Cracking shot, Di Maria! It’s painful to watch an outrageously talented player like Messi potentially not lift the World Cup because of an Argentinian team full of mere mortals.
Robbie: What a strike by Di Maria!!! He has done nothing in the game but he has struck that beautifully!
France 1-1 Argentina
Two minutes added on.
France 1-1 Argentina
I really did not see that goal coming. Neither did Hugo Lloris...

Kante's honesty has probably prevented Mascherano from getting a red card, because he got straight back to his feet.
France 1-1 Argentina
Javier Mascherano is booked for Argentina for a foul on N'Golo Kante, which means he would miss the quarter-final. That seems a lot less hypothetical than it did five minutes ago.

You won't see many better strikes than that. Probably the best goal of the tournament so far. So much for his opposite number having the better of him.
Angel di Maria
OH HELLO. Argentina are level out of nowhere.
Ever Banega passes the ball to Angel di Maria, who plays in France for Paris St-Germain, he gets the ball onto his left foot and from 30 yards sends a rocket of an effort past Hugo Lloris.
One of the goals of the World Cup.
France 1-0 Argentina
Lionel Messi wins a corner off N'Golo Kante. Hopefully this corner goes better than previous ones.
Messi does almost find a team-mate in the box but Benjamin Pavard heads it out for a throw.
France 1-0 Argentina
Another good France move as Benjamin Pavard plays a one-two with Antoine Griezmann but his cross is just beyond his team-mates.
France 1-0 Argentina

France 1-0 Argentina
Cristian Pavon puts in a low cross, this time there are some Argentines in the box but it's cleared. A bit better though.
France 1-0 Argentina
Cristian Pavon crosses - nobody in the centre. Again.

Two teams here with a wealth of talent (both on pitch and in reserve) but not best utilised. Two managers both out of their depth.
Stu, London
France 1-0 Argentina
Angel di Maria finds Lionel Messi, the first time the Argentine has had the ball in the penalty area but he's denied by some good defending. The crowd howl for a penalty, but no players do.
Here was France's second best free-kick of the day so far...
France 1-0 Argentina

Lionel Messi has played in this position for Barcelona. But he has had Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Andres Iniesta behind him to feed him the ball. We are talking about a completely different team and he needs to be deeper.
France 1-0 Argentina
France striker Olivier Giroud catches Nicolas Otamendi with a high boot on the edge of the Argentina box. Both players roll round for a bit.

The first time Didier Deschamps got up from the France bench was to tell Olivier Giroud to press harder on the halfway line.
Jorge Sampaoli has not sat down. His side seem to have no answer to the pace of Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann up front. And Just think: Ousmane Dembele is on the bench, too.
