Les Bleus outplayed Uruguay in the opening 30 minutes and had nothing to show for it until the 40' when Varane scored a scintillating header! It was his 3rd goal for France.

No more goals would come until the 60' when Griezmann fires from the edge of the box. The ball heads straight for Muslera who make a regulation save, but ends up palming the ball at the back of the net. Yes, it was a howler for a keeper like Muslera, but it's not like Uruguay were drawing the French 1-1, so don't be hard on him.

Luis Suárez looked lost without Cavani who did not make the starting XI but made the bench nevertheless. But even with El Matador on the pitch, I don't think Uruguay would've won. They did not bring much to this match and the French didn't give the South Americans much space to work with. I have to commend the French for their excellent defending in this match. 👍

I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in Mbappé showing off his acting chops. In December he said,
"I am learning every day from Neymar. I try to watch all the things he is doing in order to learn as quick as possible."
So, I guess he's learning well from the master. Imagine if the two of them meet in the semis!
