World Cup history beckons for France, Mbappé, Deschamps

Associated Press  

DOHA, Qatar — World Cup history is beckoning for France, star player Kylian Mbappé and coach Didier Deschamps. It’s the French team,” said Deschamps, who is worthy of his own chapter in World Cup history. “If he won the World Cup again,” Regragui said admiringly of Mbappé, “he would be emulating Pelé.” Both players made stunning World Cup debuts as teenagers, truly coming to life in the knockout rounds. What makes France and Deschamps even more impressive this time is adapting to a litany of injuries with new talent that never even played in a World Cup qualifying game last year.
