France have gotten through the tournament but they really miss Kante in a match like this. They just can't get the ball.

When people talk about this sport as the beautiful game, this Argentina side is currently demonstrating what they mean. So many great moments in the first 35. Have to keep focus though.

Edit: LOL france.

Di Maria at least as important for Argentina as Messi in this match. Just great play from him so far.

Hopefully France can get that back and make a game of it. The gulf between these teams shouldn't be thus vast.

France sure is playing like a team devastated by illness. They have nothing. Argentina are dominating.

Changing formation for more speed. Mbappe in the middle. Giroud is too slow for this game.

Honestly looks like France swapped shirts with Belgium so far. Very disappointing from them but great from Argentina.

It's as if this French team haven't played together before. No ideas as to how to generate anything.
