Like trying to catch lightning

30th June 1998: Argentina can't handle the pace of a teenage forward in a World Cup. 

30th June 2018: Argentina can't handle the pace of a teenage forward in a World Cup. (Though it was a penalty on Mbappe and it perhaps shouldn't have been on Owen.)

Congratulations, @KMbappe. 2 goals in a World Cup so young puts you in great company!

Phenomenal run from Mbappe. Reminds me so much of Brazilian Ronaldo.

Gary Lineker

 

Literally like trying to catch lightening, chasing Mbappe... it looked as if his last touch was too big and would take him out wide.
