France beat Poland 3-1 in the round of 16 at the World Cup to advance to a game against England, but how far the French go likely depends on Kylian Mbappe.
With their talisman back, the top-ranked Brazilians played again with the swagger and arrogance that had made them heavy World Cup favorites, scoring more goals in the first 13 minutes of the round-of-16 game than they had in their last two group matches combined.got things started, collecting a loose ball that had scooted across the front of the goal, settling it with his right foot before banging it home from well inside the left edge of the box in the seventh minute.
Richarlison made it 3-0 in the 29th minute — the quickest 3-0 lead for a Brazilian team in a World Cup — then helped set up a goal by Lucas Paqueta seven minutes later that left South Korea praying for the halftime whistle. It was Brazil’s most complete performance since a 5-1 win over South Korea in June, when Neymar scored twice on penalty kicks.
“The night of the injury was a very difficult night,” Neymar said Monday. “I was thinking a million different things. I was afraid I would not be able to play again in this World Cup.”
