    Much better from France, so good. They are fired up, look at them. All over the pitch now they have got pressure and energy. They are looking the most likely to get this done in extra-time.

    France are hungry.

    They win a free-kick in Argentina's half. The delivery from Kingsley Coman is poor but France are able to go again and win a corner.

    There's only one number 10 who looks like winning this game for his side now, and it is not Messi.

    You get the feeling that it's going to be one more moment of magic from one of the number 10s that decides this game.

    Oh hello.

    Can hear the France supporters now, the Argentina ones have gone reallyyy quiet.

    Very nervy in here now.

    Somebody has got to take a chance here... a chance to be a hero.

    Now we're seeing some tired legs.

    Two sides, in their seventh World Cup game, into extra-time. Physically and mentally drained.

  8. 'Aggressive play from Romero'published at 17:14 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2022

    Romero has absolutely nailed Mbappe there. As soon as Mbappe turns it just hits him. Romero is such an aggressive player. He just wants to get the ball and leave a bit on you every time he makes a challenge. You don't want to light Mbappe up too much.

    Melvin: Hope this doesn't turn up for di Maria like how Riquelme was substituted by Pekerman in 2006

    Robert: Even Ronaldo must love this. A boy who idolises Ronaldo is making sure Ronaldo remains in the GOAT conversation

    Kylian Mbappe is caught offside. He's also caught by a sliding tackle from Cristian Romero.

    Oh, it looks worse in slow motion, as is always the case. Thankfully, Mbappe is OK.

    Might just have made him angry, though.

    I'd be surprised if France don't go and win it now but anything can and will happen. Could be the first WC final hat trick since 1966.

    Deschamps showing Southgate how to affect a game with smart and prompt substitute's when things are going wrong.... Thuram with the assist and Coman looking electric. Exactly what a real top class manager does.

    France take off Adrien Rabot and send on Youssouf Fofana.

    Naturally, we have a bit of a lull to the action at the start of this extra-time period.

    France got back into it, but suddenly have something to lose.

    Argentina... well, they're just dazed.

    Will it be Didier Deschamps or Luca Scaloni who has said the telling word to their side?

    This French team is an anomaly. The force is with them right now.

    Oh, that is a right cross from Marcos Acuna. Right in to the near post, where Julian Alvarez has darted. A France defender wins the ball to clear, though.

    The Argentina players look shocked that they are even in this position but they have got to find something.

    Can Argentina regather themselves here?

    The psychological blow of those two Mbappe goals will have been huge.

    But they were so composed and controlled and for so long. They need to channel that again.

    Hard to process what we've just seen at the end of normal time, and totally impossible to predict what will happen next.

    Lots of Tricolours being waved in the French end at the moment, and they are making the most noise as extra-time gets under way.
