Kylian Mbappe celebrated his 100th international cap with two goals, leading France to a 3-0 victory over Iraq in a World Cup match in Philadelphia. The game was significantly delayed for over two hours due to a severe storm that struck during halftime, forcing spectators to seek shelter. Ousmane Dembele also scored for France, solidifying their position as tournament favorites. Mbappe’s brace brings his World Cup goal tally to 16, closing the gap on Lionel Messi’s record of 18 after Messi also scored twice on Monday. This match marked the first weather-related delay of the tournament, adhering to strict safety protocols regarding storms. With 60 international goals, Mbappe continues to break records for France, having recently become the nation’s all-time leading scorer.
