That’s ok....part of the fun of World Cup season is bugging non soccer fans! I love the game but cannot watch women’s soccer ( too dykey)!

Kylian Mbappe announced himself on the biggest stage as France beat Argentina to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.

The PSG forward is the first teenager to score twice at a World Cup since Pele in 1958
