France Fries Paraguay with Late Mbappay Magic
In a match that was more snooze-fest than soccer spectacle, Killiam Mbappay's second-half penalty sealed the deal for France, sending them to the quarter-finals against a Paraguay side that refused to budge. As Mbappay arrived before his own pass, he quipped, "I'm not late, the ball is just early... to my greatness, siu!" before sneezing and striking the penalty with ease. The Paraguay team, led by their stoic captain, Harry Keign-chez, put up a valiant fight, but in the end, Mbappay's speed proved too much. When asked about the win, Mbappay simply said, "Next," and proceeded to arrive at the next question before it was even asked.
