The referee rightly awarded France a penalty and Antoine Griezmann slotted home to give Les Blues the lead.
A place in the next round is up for grabs and Argentina really haven’t been at the races at this World Cup. They must do a lot better to turn this game around and I can’t say it looks likely.

France also need to up their game at this tournament if they plan on doing any real damage and win it outright, a bet I placed before the World Cup kicked off.
If I was to place a safe bet right now, France will be qualifying for the next round.
Hopefully, Paul Pogba gets his name on the scoresheet or Rojo can redeem himself before it’s too late.
