The day Messi took a back seat and Mbappe came of age. A seven goal thriller, which Argentina took close to extra time. But the French ran out deserved winners, their second from Pavard, a right back, a veritable stunner and strong candidate for goal of the tournament. It’s taken a while for France to get into gear, and Argentina were never really firing here, but take nothing away, this French side looks like it’s got the ingredients to win it.

World Cup 2018: France 1-0 Peru
Armchair regulars will recognise how difficult their host is finding watching these 4pm kick offs.
The winner in this was scrappe by Mbappe and condemns a team I had high hopes for to an early exit.
Peru’s fans have really made an impact in this World Cup, even if their team has let them down on the pitch.
They have travelled in massive numbers, some 40,000 at this game, with some even giving up their jobs to watch their team. Now that’s commitment. The Armchair wouldn’t even give up his seat to watch his team.
France won this, and have gone through, but have yet to do anything in this tournament worthy of note.
The Armchair Predicted
France 2-1 Peru
15 and 7
