France bows out from worldcup hall of firm.
The hope of France lifting the world cup back to back was jupadized the moment that Dembele fouled Angel De Maria inside the 18yard box.
The referee from Portugal was definitely left with no other option other than to point to the spot for a penalty.
This final happened to be Agentina's four consecutive penalty in four matches. As usual, Leonel Messi converted the spot kick. This dampened the French chance of defending the title.
But thank God for Kylan Mbappe who scored.a heart trick thereby dragging the match into extra time. Unfortunately the game ended in favour of the Northern American side.
Indeed it was the young lad against the Argentins. Nobody believed that the French side would recover after thrilling 2:0 nill in the first half of the encounter.
The second half was however in their favour as they talisman equalized 2:2 thereby dragging the game jnrl extra time.
Sadly even with the heart trick he scored in the extra time, it didn't guarantee them winning the cup finals.
I didn’t believe France could even take the game to extra time after watching that first half from them.
De champs was very bold taking off Dembele and Giroud. Di Maria enjoyed himself in the game and got joy from Kounde a lot.
Mbappe is going to be a very good player. He might be the best of his generation.
I am sure if Di Maria was not subbed off Argentina would have scored a third goal which would have totally crushed the hopes of France from coming back to equalize, but still, it was a good game and I am glad Argentina won and are now the champions of the world.
