Loved the way Brazil came back. The stunning free kick by Zico

And Eder's cute little chip over Rough.

Mbappe is quite good, but he's diabolical at taking corners.

Is he Madders in disguise

And his swerving thunderbolt of a free kick off the bar against Argentina. He was great that tournament.

England smash Iran (20th in the world) 

 

“Oh it was only Iran”

 

France smash Australia (38th in the world) 

 

“France are absolutely amazing”

Junior’s goal against Argentina. Falcao against Italy. Socrates cracker against USSR

I didn't quite get the hype about Mbappe (not trolling, thought he was good but a level below the elite) but having watched this game I stand corrected.

But would you swap him for Barnes?

Wouldn’t swap Mbappe for Perez

No, he's super hateable and I think I'd struggle to want to support him even as a Leicester player. Plus we'd have to sell off the rest of our squad to afford him.

Why do people hate Mbappe so much? What’s the tea?

Mbappe may be an amazing player, but seems like such a cnut of a person 

In what context?

Insanely arrogant, money grabbing (to stay at psg) and a real diva by all accounts. 

 

But mostly its his punchable face! 

[filbertway]

The most annoying thing about Mbappe is that he's made for playing as a striker and thinks he's some kind of number 10.

 

You're pacey as hell and can finish lad. Just accept it.

Not watched a lot of M'Bappe but thought he was excellent. Reminded me a lot of a young Ronaldo (Brazilian one) in the way he plays. Explosive, strong, good with his feet, great movement. Absolute joy to watch tonight.

M’bappe has all of the attributes to be the new Ronaldo (Brazil, the proper Ronaldo). I want to see him kick on in this World Cup, I feel he’s got another gear still to find.

I think his stunt at the end of last season tainted him where he allowed his contract to run down and then re-signed for PSG anyway. But in process asked for an actual say in the clubs overall running along with lots of other nonsense. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Just play Cummings, seeing him bag at a World Cup would be sensational

[Iran]

Harry Souttar reminds me a bit of Maguire in terms of physicality and play style. Looks to be a good player.

[StanSP]

Goal Australia! They've been looking for that cross all game. Good header. 

[Iran]

GOAL FOR THE SOCCEROOS!!! 

[Balj]

That's a very good header ..

[whoareyaaa]

Great header, even the manager nodded it in
