Kylian Mbappé at the double as France swat aside Sweden in World Cup masterclass

When people form memories of the World Cup , it’s matches like this that do it. France once again won comprehensively, and against decent opposition, but the quality of their attacking play, and the sheer beauty of their goals, were difficult to fully appreciate in the moment. It’s the sort of thing that only comes into true focus upon reflection. Kylian Mbappé drew alongside Lionel Messi in the race for the golden boot here with another brace of unerring finishes. Michael Olise should have had a hat-trick but made do with two assists and a virtuoso performance that left jaws across the floor

In response to the first question in a curt post-match press conference, he adjusted the microphone to ensure his point was heard. “I really didn’t appreciate them being called has -beens ,” he said, alluding to an article in La Libre, a French-language Belgian newspaper, that compared Kevin

Erling Haaland fires Norway into last 16 with dramatic winner against Côte d’Ivoire

Decision vindicated. The Norway coach, Ståle Solbakken, had taken a major gamble in resting almost his entire side in the final group game against France, drawing stiff criticism, not least from those who had paid hundreds of dollars to witness a showdown between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé. As Solbakken said, the decision would stand or fall on the result of this game. Norway are in the last 16, players and fans celebrating with a communal Viking row led by Martin ­Ødegaard, and therefore his policy can be considered justified. Continue reading...
