Kylian Mbappé broke the record for most goals in World Cup knockout matches and moved within a single goal of Lionel Messi's overall tournament mark, as his two goals led France to a dominant 3-0 win over Sweden at MetLife Stadium on Tuesday.
After the first four round-of-32 games in World Cup history, I think we were all asking the same question:
LONDON, June 30 : French Open champion Alexander Zverev has an allergy to grass and admits to struggling on Wimbledon's "beautiful" Centre Court but showed enough in a first-round win over hard-hitting Belgian Alexander Blockx on Tuesday to suggest he could embark on his best run yet in southwest London.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida, June 30 : Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva paid a glowing tribute to Croatia captain Luka Modric on Tuesday, hailing the veteran playmaker as his footballing idol and "a huge inspiration" ahead of their World Cup last-32 showdown.
BERLIN: Another World Cup, another early exit. Germany should be getting used to disappointment, but they don’t make it any less painful for a traditional soccer heavyweight that had been tentatively hoping for a fifth World Cup title to restore lost pride. Germany did manage to survive the group stage for the first time since winning the trophy in 2014, but their little consolation after Monday’s loss to unheralded Paraguay on penalties sent the team home after the first knockout game. “We messed it up,” Joshua Kimmich told reporters after the match in Foxborough, Massachusetts. It was a familiar feeling for the Germany captain who also struggled for explanations after the team’s group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. “As a child, when you watched the national team during tournaments, it was always semifinals, finals, or world champions. There was always lots of success.

FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts: Paraguay stunned Germany in a penalty shootout on Monday to reach the last 16 of the World Cup on Monday (Jun 29).
LOS ANGELES: France unleash their devastating forward line on Sweden in a last-32 tie at the World Cup on Tuesday, while Erling Haaland will try to fire Norway past the Ivory Coast into the next round. Co-hosts Mexico meanwhile bid to continue their journey in front of a fervent crowd at the Estadio Azteca when they take on Ecuador. The Swedish defense is bracing to face not only Kylian Mbappe, who has scored four times already in this tournament, but also Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who notched a hat-trick in a 4-1 win against Norway in the group stage. Completing the French trio is Michael Olize, whose runs at defenders have been creating havoc. With attacking swagger and midfield flair, Les Bleus appear well-placed to reach their third final in as many World Cups. The only question mark might be their defense — and Sweden have their own high-profile forward line who will try to unlock it, although Premier League duo Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres have not fully fired yet at this tournament. If France get past Sweden, they will face not Germany — who were beaten in a penalty shootout for the first time in World Cup history on Monday — but their conquerors Paraguay. France coach Didier Deschamps said Sweden had “nothing to lose.” “Sweden are playing for their survival. Obviously they will do everything to win the game,” Deschamps said on Monday. “We need to stay humble, maintain our determination and concentration.
