The Guardian FootballStatesman, comedian and dealer of hard truths: how Kylian Mbappé became the king of this World Cup
The Frenchman is a footballer, flautist and a thespian. There’s no question he is the most thrilling and compelling figure at this year’s tournament This has been the World Cup of characters, bold fashion statements, and bantz: we’ve had Thomas Tuchel rubber-banding around the England dressing room like a teen at his first all-ages rave, and Iván Barton booting Miguel Almirón from the field as if sentencing him to death . Mauricio Pochettino and his $500 overshirt have brought fresh energy and inspiration to the wardrobes of convex middle-aged men the world over. Jokester Javier Aguirre’s avuncular “ fuck you ” at Anthony Gordon has pushed bilateral relations between Mexico and England to their warmest point since the British-brokered peace that ended the Pastry War of 1839. Erling Haaland has shown it’s possible to be Jaws in front of goal and Scooby Doo once the ball is in the back of the net, that there’s nothing about football so important that it can’t make way for some silly bit of online comedy. Even Harry Kane, a man who often seems like he was media trained in the womb, has squeaked thrillingly, if briefly , to life. Continue reading...

It was a brutal encounter as they became targets for Paraguay, who added menace to the low block.

The Guardian FootballIs Neymar the first to bookend his international career with goals at the same venue? | The Knowledge
Plus: national team colours that are different from flags; Senegal’s goal difference record setters; and Scotland’s unbeaten 1974 tournament Mail us with your all of your questions and answers “Neymar’s consolation penalty against Norway at the World Cup means his first international goal, scored on his first cap, was in the same stadium (MetLife) as his last international goal on his final cap,” writes Griffin Cant. “Are there any other players who have bookended their international career in a similar way?” Over 77,000 people were at the MetLife Stadium on 10 August 2010 as Neymar made his Brazil bow in a friendly against the USA. The fresh-faced, dodgy-haircutted 18-year-old scored after just 28 minutes , a thumping header past Tim Howard in the USA goal.
