Darragh Maloney dials in from Doha to tell Mikey Stafford and James McMahon all about bearing witness to the Kylian Mbappe show at Stadium 974.The France talisman scored two against Denmark, which means - after his goal against Australia - he has now scored against the two group opponents from Russia four years ago he drew blanks against.Lionel Messi dragged an uninspired Argentina through a turgid affair against Mexico, which could yet see France and the South Americans meet in the last-16 for the second time in four years.The lads discuss an emotional Robert Lewandowski breaking his World Cup duck and Australia breaking down a formidable Tunisian defence.Spain versus an embattled Germany is the pick of Sunday's games, but don't discount Croatia and Canada, the surprising grudge match of Qatar 2022.Elsewhere Darragh gives us his thoughts on Qatar after a week in the tiny host country, where it is hard not to be impressed by the infrastructural achievements, while never forgetting the human cost of their construction.Listen to the RTÉ Soccer podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.We need your consent to load this rte-player contentWe use rte-player to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.
