It was prison rules for Paraguay. What they didn't took into account was Mbappe becoming Rorschach.
Respect to all the other teams left in the World Cup, but we're all just waiting for a rematch of the 2022 final at this point. France and Argentina seem destined to meet again. The Golden Boot could very well be decided in the final game.
And nobody said it would be easy. France and Argentina have been challenged.
France is battle tested even more now after beating Paraguay in the alley. The beauty of the World Cup is that a true champion has to face different styles, opponents, and tactics to climb the ladder.
People hate Paraguay for the way they played yesterday but that dirty style has always been part of football. Paraguay provided a reminder to the world that sometimes it's anything goes. Football shouldn't always be beautiful.
