PHILADELPHIA -- Sweet 16! On Monday against Iraq in Philadelphia, in a game marked by more than two hours of interruption due to the bad weather, Kylian Mbappé , the France captain, cemented even more his World Cup legacy with his 15th and 16th goals in the competition for his 16th game. Sixteen in 16. Sweet 16. A goals-per-game ratio at World Cup level that is simply incredible.

There will be a time, at some point later as now still feels a bit too early, when Mbappé will be nicknamed "Mr. World Cup," because of his goals, making two finals in two participations and his triumph in 2018.
