France progressed to the quarter finals of the World Cup after beating a poor Argentina side 4-3 in Kazan.
There were a couple of 'Goal of the Tournament' contenders in this game, and France arguably put in the best performance of the World Cup so far.
Below is a look at three things we learned from this entertaining game, which has left the other 14 teams in the World Cup with plenty to live up to.
3. France Could Be the Next Nation to Dominate World Football But Argentina Need Major Revamp
France showed that they have the potential to win this World Cup and also to dominate for years to come with their young, talented squad.
Kylian Mbappé stole the show with a delightful display that included two goals, while Paul Pogba also dominated the midfield alongside N'Golo Kanté and Blaise Matuidi.
Argentina, on the other hand, have no players of great promise. The future was summed up when Javier Mascherano announced his retirement from international football at the end of the match.
2. Argentina Have Good Individuals But Can't Make it Click Together
Nicolas Otamendi. Javier Mascherano. Lionel Messi. Sergio Aguero. Gonzalo Higuain. Paulo Dybala.
On paper, Argentina look like they have a squad capable of winning the World Cup. However, after scraping through their group and being dumped out of the last 16, it is clear that the future is not quite so bright in reality.
Despite scoring three goals from three moments of brilliance, Argentina looked poor throughout their game against France and serious questions need to be asked.
1. Kylian Mbappé Could Become One of the Greatest
A brace in a World Cup round of 16 tie is a remarkable achievement for any player. However, it is outstanding for a 19-year-old to achieve such a feat.
That's what happened today when Kylian Mbappé graced the pitch. He kept his cool to score two great goals against Argentina, and won a penalty - converted by Antoine Griezmann - for France's opener.
If somebody watched this game without knowing about Mbappé, nobody would have any idea that the youngster is just 19. He was head and shoulders above the rest of the players on the field and shows that France have a bright future with him leading the line.
