Lorice a Tottenham Hotsp goalkeeper in charge of the video assistant refereeing operation >> being used for the first time in the knockout stage. Of course here Argentina make only one change from their dramatic late win over Nigeria giving Christian Pavon of Bocka Juniors his first start of the tournament and dropping Gonzalo Iguain again. Four of the team you're looking at there played in the final four years ago. Messi, Javier Masherano, Enzo Perez and Marcos Rojo. Messi, by the way, is one of five Argentina players within Wellen yellow card are picking up a suspension. So could miss the quarterfinal if things were to go ary today. There'll be a shootout between two of the world's great strikers, Antoan Griezmann, who's declared he's staying with Atletico Madrid, despite all the speculation of a move to Barcelona, where he might have been playing with this man Leon Messi, but that won't be Messi who's never scored yet, remarkably, in the knockout stages of the World Cup in seven games. >> That really is extraordinary, but neither has Cristiano Ronaldo. France to get us underway in their blue shirts here [cheering] in a confrontation of potentially epic proportions between two former champions. France have won it once, Argentina twice. [cheering] An early challenge involving Griezmann with their Taglia Pico, the elegant left back of Argentina. He's been getting a run in the side here. [cheering] It's collected by Pogba. Mbappy lays it back to Pavar who's taken over from uh Cibbe as the right back in this tournament. A late run along the rails from the stut man. [screaming] [cheering] CB did get a run out against Denmark. That was just to rest Pavar who's back here along with several others. Here's Mbappé. [cheering] Back to Pogba. Always so much expected of him of course at the heart of things. and Dier Des who captain France to World Cup glory in 1998. Can he do it as a coach as well? He's under a bit of pressure back home. Not everybody's a fan and I think he needs to deliver something big with this team having failed of course in the final of Euro 2016 against Portugal. [cheering] up towards Messi his first involvement. Desan's quote was interesting yesterday. We will have to take he put a certain precautions. Nice way of putting it to deal with Messi. Otamendi playing it out for Argentina. Mardo in that right back position. Very experienced grizzled campaigner from Sevilla. He can play in the central defense as well. and Otto Mande and Rojo have those roles tied up between them. Ball was given away and then Pogba did the same. Maybe even a bit of nerves for these big time players. And then Benega is fouled by Pogba. Has to watch his step. He's one of those players who's on a yellow card. Jorge Sam Powley has he written out rumors of a mutiny in the camp. There were some stories that Messi and Maserano had taken over picking the team even which seems hard to credit. Here's Messi and Twidi. Referee's going to have to take steps here if Messi is going to get the treatment from one French player after another. You have seen that in the past. Referee Alarez Fagani is experienced. This could be the biggest appointment of his career to date, I'd suggest. used to be a player himself and his dad was a referee too. Venega here's the man whose pass set up Messi for that wonderful goal against Nigeria can be an important player in the midfield. Ava Baneer can really pick a pass. There are other days where he just tends to go missing a little as well though. It's important he's on a going day today. Looks like Nessie's playing up front on his own with a fiveman midfield behind him. Trying to get Di Maria in behind here. I wondered if he was going to take a first touch there which would have taken him across the defender but he chose not to do that and it all comes to nothing. Rojo's challenge on Giru and then rather wasted from Di Maria whose only World Cup goal came at this stage four years ago against Switzerland. 118th minute it was. It was given away by Benega there. Mbappé's quick but not that quick. Couldn't keep it in. packed forward by Argentina who've been struggling to find the right blend. masters of brinkmanship really in the qualification stage as well where they needed a messy hat-tick on the last day to make it through to the World Cup finals. And here they were within four minutes of going out the other night until Manchester United's Marcus Rojo came up with a sublime finish that any striker would have been proud of. I think it was the ultimate get out of jail card that Rojo on the ball now. Now Benga need to get the angle ball in behind for Pavone. first start of the tournament for him today because they wanted an extra midfield player in there to deal with France and that's meant that Iguain is on the bench. Mbappé now running at the heart of that Argentina defense. And there will be a free kick here in a dangerous position some 25 yds out. Well, he was the meat in the sandwich there. The exciting Kian Mbappe Masherano's challenge made sure he was getting no further. Griezmann might fancy this. Poppers hovering over it as well there. Griezmann's only goal so far at this World Cup, a penalty awarded by the video assistant referee or with the help of him anyway in the first game against Australia. It's Griezmann. IT'S GOOD. IT'S VERY GOOD. AND IT RATTLES THE CROSSBAR which is still shattering from that. My goodness me. It really was a magnificent strike from Antoine Griezmanni. There's Griezmann again. Will he come to life in the knockout stages? Hernandez forced his way into the side of this World Cup. Blaze Matuidi playing just in front of him. Could get a little congested in that midfield at times. Remember, this has to be settled one way or another today if necessary with uh extra time or the dreaded penalty shootout. Maybe not dreaded for all of you. If you're a neutral, you can look forward to it, I guess. Ronaldo to lay it forward. Habonz down the line for Messi. Ideally likes to play from a bit deeper and will be looking for a little bit of support from one of the midfield players. Which one of them is going to venture forward or even get ahead of him on occasions? Here's Messi. [cheering] This time the referee says no foul. Think he might be getting the treatment today. Of course, lots of people have had plans for him, but all through his career, he's managed to defy those plans. Mbappé really has got a turn of pace. It's showing here. Look at this from Mbappy's HOWL BACK THERE. HANG ON A MINUTE. IT'S A PENALTY. IT'S A PENALTY FOR FRANCE. [cheering] The Iranian referee was in no doubt. And there's a yellow card as well. It is only yellow. Argentina complain, but they could not cope there with the searing pace of Kian Mbappé. Well, this is one of the great pieces of play of this World Cup. This solo run. What has he covered? 70 m there. Well, maybe the first contact is outside there, but it carries on inside, doesn't it? They're just double-checking it to make sure. Of course, it's one of those incidents. The check is over. The penalty decision stands. Well, that's what you call flare. Mbappé decided he was going to take them all on. Rojo by illegal means stopped him and picked up a yellow too. >> Pretty sure Griezmann will take it. and up against this goalkeeper Franco Armani who made his debut for Argentina the other night. They've had a real problem with their goalkeepers because of Sergio Romero, the regular number one's injury. What a moment this is for Armani and for him. Antoine Griezmann. FIRST BLOOD FRANCE 1 NMAN STRIKES AGAIN and it's the early breakthrough they were looking for in the 13th minute. [cheering] Well, there's the original foul outside, but it carries on inside. Griezmann never looked like he had a moment's doubt. He is a big game player. Top scorer at Euro 2016. two here now. Got two in the Europa League final as well for Athletica when they won it few weeks ago. France won Argentina nil here in this heavyweight clash in the round of 16. Just a fabulous piece of play by the 19year-old Kon Mbappé. It's only his sixth goal that for France. Here's a Rojo now. Micardo of Sevilla making a foraging run forward and he carries on with it as well. Did score a couple of goals in the qualification did Micardo coming up from the back. Well, Rojo seen both sides of life as a footballer here at this World Cup. Hero the other night and currently villain for Argentina. Griezmann. Now that's Gerano doing the covering in midfield. Had a wonderful, wonderful World Cup four years ago, but uh he is 34 now and is playing in China these days. Here he is on the ball now. so experienced. Record caps for his country. Ricardo inside. Messi's little touch. Can they engineer one moment for him? No way through for Pavone. The Pocker Junior's player over there has been drafted in. France have never lost when Antoine Griezmann has scored. 16 wins, two draws. It's an interesting trend and stat, but of course all of those runs end somewhere and Argentina have fought their way out of corners before it's Otamendi. Very impressive for Manchester City in their title winning campaign this year. Abone to lay it forward. Marcado and Gerano to Di Maria. Corner will be given. Di Maria is not a good one. Doesn't beat the first defender. How often do you see that? It's pretty obvious that they've told Mbappé to run hard at that defense every time he gets the opportunity. The Argentine defense has been a subject of some debate in the buildup to the World Cup. They let in six against Spain and four against Nigeria. [cheering] >> [cheering] >> That's Gerano. Nicholas Otto Mendy. Perez to Pabone. Another poor cross. It's easily cut out by MTT who will have faced Messi several times on the training ground of course in Barcelona practice matches. But hang on a minute here. Mbappé's got in BEHIND AGAIN HERE NOW. WAS HE FOULED ANOTHER TIME THERE? Taglyo right on the edge. Yellow card for the defender. That was another close run thing. They just can't cope with Mbappé. Got the wrong side. Yeah, the foul is just outside, isn't it? He gives France another opportunity, but this young man is very much the star of the show so far. >> [cheering] >> Well, he's given this about 6 in outside the penalty area. Hey, More danger looming for Argentina here. And one or two ominous signs for the other teams in this World Cup that France are starting to engage a higher gear. Going to take something special to get that up and down from there. [cheering] It's Pogba. Well, he got it up, but he wasn't coming down. France haven't lost a World Cup match in which they've scored first since 1982. That was against Poland. Benega the sort of player who could have a key. That one deflects on the way through from the Sevilla man. This is where they might wish they had the aerial strength of Gonzalo Iguain. The defenders of course quite handy. There's Otame Mendy up there. And the referees have been told they don't want too much jostling and pushing. It's easier said than done. Good defending. Pogba won that header importantly at the back post for France. [cheering] a way through this time for Enolo Conte who continues to win trophies everywhere he goes. Titles at Leicester City of course and Chelsea and the FA Cup this year for Chelsea. still drives a mini mind you a grounded individual I think you could say [cheering] as he was dispossessed there by Bla1 Matuidi that's as I thought I think Matu's got that job over there of just tucking in and filling up that area where Messi likes to get the ball that sort of inside right channel Ottoameni. Here is Messi. They won't mind as long as he's playing that far from goal. Mbappé again. It's been an electric start from him. No foul given. Mbappé complains. Well, I think we're going to get more of the same from Mbappé. He knows now he's got some of these defenders on toast. Nasherano into the channel. That's good goalkeeping. Well played by Ugo Loris to Denai Perez. Some Titi going down and he's saying he got a blow to the face there which might be something the video assistant referee will want to look at. A stray arm, wasn't it there from Enzo Perez? Looks like they've decided to take a benevolent view of that. Griezmann just wanted a bit too much that time and Maserano wasn't going to give him it. The former Liverpool and Barcelona man. Look at that. Argentina have had 69% possession. Fat lot of good it's doing them. Lice hasn't had to make a save so far. Tagico towards Di Maria. They need him to put in a stellar display today. Anal Di Maria. Here's Griezmann full of clever movement. Very clever movement. He's got away from Rojo. Couldn't cut it back into the path of Muidi who was arriving on the near post. But he looks in the mood. Antoine Griezmann here. Tag Pico now. Di Maria played in every qualifier. Did Alhal Di Maria Perez to Pavone? Now Marcado, Naserano, [cheering] Pavone, out by Luca Hernandez, [cheering] who's starting to make that left back position his own. They've decided that Benjamin Mendy, who's not fit anyway today, isn't quite sharp enough for this World Cup after his long absence with a crucet injury. Right across the face of goal there, claiming a hand ball here. It was Ricardo's run. He thinks the ball's handled. Let's see if he's right. He's the only one claiming it. Well, Miti's hand. [cheering] Interesting. Is that ball to hand or is any any movement by MTT which might persuade somebody in that V office that it was deliberate? Looks like the answer is no. Pogba to Pava. Now Mbappé. [cheering] Havar again fizzed across the face of goal and Giru couldn't bring it under control and he had a bit of space too. He knows it. Kante chipped towards Mbappé who thought he'd bent his run. Kante nearly picked him up as well. Ottoande to play it wide. Lionel Messi being kept quiet so far. I think we better stress so far. Gabrielle Marcado. I think Argentina fancy they can engineer one or two overloads down that right hand side of the French defense. Most of the attacks coming through there. Little triangle of uh Pavon Perez and Mardo as Antiti. Muidi lays it wide. Not too uh accurately though. Jorge S. Pa is this his last game in the job? [cheering] But great things with Chile really had them playing very attractively and manic high press style flying wing backs. But it doesn't seem to have the players to quite do that with Argentina and that's been part of the problem. Now then here is Messi Pavone. This French defense has only conceded once so far at this World Cup and that was a penalty. Pogba looping through the midfield eating up the ground. Mbappé. This time they do manage to stop him in the shape of Tagliao. Ajax left back did well there. France sitting pretty after half an hour. One up and they might have had another one as well. Giru won the header. Here's Griezmann. This looks dangerous. Oh, complete breakdown of communication between Griezmann and Giru there. They really were tuned to different radio stations. Tier Destogether succeeding, I think it's fair to say. If France do go through, they'd meet the winners of the Uruguay Portugal tie next Friday. But I don't think we should get ahead of ourselves. Not at this World Cup. Venega good pressure on the ball. Pogbao's extremely muscular challenge on him. I just wonder whether this thing might boil over a bit. Shirano there absolutely gone through Pogba. Pretty lucky I'd say to escape with a yellow or without one I should say. And TT has just signed a new 5-year contract with Barcelona, which reportedly has a release clause at €500 million. In other words, they're not selling Matuidi. Good battle over there with him and Otto Mendy. [cheering] France have never lost a round of 16 tie in World Cup history. The four times they've come through this stage. It's often the case with France of feast or famine in their World Cup story. Runs to the final or long runs anyway or complete calamities. back in 2002 where as defending champions they didn't even score a goal 2010 the player mutiny down on the Cape of South Africa home in disgrace a lot of players banned you still feel the trauma of that 8 years on in French football don't want anything like that happening again Pogba up towards Yiru nodded down towards Griezmann better understanding between those two there the two Gman at the top for France. Kante won it as he often does. Otto Mendy was caught a bit late there by Giru for me. Should be Argentina's free kick. Both players down injured. Nobody holding back. The Ottomani got there first and then he felt the studs of Olivier Giru. That was earlier with Ronaldo and uh Kante. Distinctly lively feel about this out there. I don't think you'd expect anything different. [cheering] Well, they've been illuminating the town of the Argentina fans, several thousand of whom have come here without a ticket. They just want to be near the match in some way and probably watching in bars down on the main drag in Kazan, which is one long street party really. This is a very pleasant venue. You're a sporting city. Ruben Kazan play here. They've had world championships in aquatics and fencing in recent years. Beaches by the river. Messi quickly under pressure again. Marcado Pavone. Messi dropping ever deeper for the moment. Now he's making a run. Now it is Messi going inside the penalty area and going down in the penalty area. No appeal. Not that time. But there was that little darting run and it didn't quite pick him up for a second. Messi the only man in World Cup history to score in his teens, 20s and 30s. Now seeing a lot of the ball over there on the far side is Pavone. Well read. Great play by Otto Mendy. Read it. Picked up the ball. Looks to set up an attack. Still might be something. Pabone kept it in play and his cross is a disappointment at the end of it all. Argentina will still believe that they can claw their way back into this bit by bit. Here's Messi. Good run Pavone again. That's a better cross this time. Pavar getting across right place, right time from him. [cheering] Griezmann. Now they can't be too gung-ho about it Argentina in chasing this equalizer because France have the players to exploit them on the counter. Notably Mbappé with his Olympian speed. Varane to MTT, one of the two uh best central defensive partnerships I'd say at the World Cup. Varane and Titi right up there. Lovely play Griezmann. Pavar Griez and Jiru attacking that near post looking for a spectacular header. It's good work down the right hand side from France. Definitely on side. [cheering] That was Griezmann dispossessing Messi. That's a sign of the work ethic really that Antoine Griezmann of all people was the player doing the defending. There are some coaches who would don't want their strikers making challenges because uh they're not renowned for getting them right. Messi picks it up now. Just starting to see a little more of the ball here. Messi now under pressure from Conte who predictably on the uh stats we get given after the group phase is right up there in the top three or four for interceptions made at this tournament so far. It's his stock in trade. Tackles, interceptions break up the play. Here comes the corner. Well defended. Pavar with a little flick away. [cheering] It's Nicholas Tagico. [cheering] Ava Benga DI MARIA. OH, WHAT A GO. WHAT A STRIKE. ARGENTINA LEVEL. IT'S ANHAL D MARIA WITH THE SWEETEST OF STRIKES. Absolute bedum among those Argentina fans. Nothing. Ugo Lorice could do about it. A smile from him. Try to calm down. Well, Anali Maria hadn't really been in this game and then this. It almost left a vapor trail. Only his second ever World Cup goal. What a time to score it. Diego Maradona celebrates in the way he always used to when he was playing. Been concerns about his health from people looking at the pictures of him at this World Cup. And he had the answer to that the other day. Told the journalists, "Hey, I'm alive." And he might be feeling a
