Le blues as France national team is called has annihilated Austrian after coming from a goal down to hammer 4 past the Australia national team in an epic encounter.

www.sompaonline.com brings you reactions from football loving fans and connoisseurs of the game.

Coach Hamza: former Hearts of Oak and Medeama assistant coach on Sompa 93.1 FM.
France has shown superiority and combat at the back however I believe Didie Deschamps will opt for a fully fit Raphael Varane to partner either Kounder or Upamecano, they seem flat at the back, you need one ahead and one to shield you, Varane comes in with experience, he’s a good passer of the ball.

People were expecting Karim Benzema, the Ballon D'Or winner, to be in this World Cup and score goal, and to shine.

But Giroud is still there - Dembele, we haven't spoken much about him, but I think he had a great game as well. They have a big squad.

It is a night to celebrate because Olivier Giroud achieved something absolutely amazing that a few years ago that no one would have thought possible. But there are some things to work on and correct.

There's very few players who give you that [helpless] feeling. Ronaldinho in his prime, probably Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo.

But with these players, there are no solutions.

If Mbappe can square you up one v one and you can't defend against him, if he can run in behind, if he can receive the ball between the lines and shoot from distance and score a header like he's done tonight, it's very difficult to limit a player like this.

At big tournaments, you need players who can win you games and all the big teams have a player that can do that.

Chris Sutton
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
France are up and running, Didier Deschamps will be delighted in the end, they got the result. They got the performance after the first 15 minutes.

Australia were game and got their noses in front but France were dominant. This is a team that is back to win this competition and it is a perfect start for them.

History
5 - Kylian Mbappé became the youngest player to reach five World Cup goals for France (23y 337d), while he's now netted 12 goals in his last 11 appearances for Les Bleus across all competitions. Unstoppable.
