France has beaten Russia 3-1, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice in the match. There has been a lot of political undercurrent to football involving Russia these days, after the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy in the UK. There is speculation over whether next year's World Cup in Russia will be boycotted by some countries. The French team underwent massive changes after their loss to Columbia, but got their game together in this match.
It's not likely that some countries will boycot World Cup. It's more likely that many politics will boycott this championship - presidents, prime ministers and etc.
Spain 6-1 Argentina. My eyes are still hard to believe seeing the score, but that is the reality, Argentina was destroyed by Spain. Again and again, playing without Messi, Argentina are playing poorly, losing to a score of that magnitude is not Argentina it should be. They still rely on Messi. If there is Messi does not mean Argentina will not lose, but I'm sure they will not lose like that if there Messi play.
Wow! Not sure why I chose to watch boring match between England and Italy lol. I didn't watched this match and for me it's even more difficult to believe in my eyes after seeing this result. Argentina played without Messi and Aguero, but it's excuse to concede 6 goals against Spain, it's embarrasing. It's serious warning for Argentina only 2.5 month before the World Cup.
