Mbappe took and failed to score the decisive 5th penalty for France against Switzerland in Euro 2020.
You'd really want your star forwards to take early to relieve any pressure.
On the plus side with Croatia through, there's probably more chance of an Albion player featuring in a World Cup...

Yes, it wouldn't have taken much. I've got some Man City mates who travelled to Abu Dhabi to see them train, met the players, etc.
No criticism here for the record, but perhaps a missed opportunity for the Albion supporting expats.
Home sweet home. :)
To be fair, Jebel Ali is around 25 miles out of central Dubai.
It's a bit like saying Brighton looks a bit rural just by looking at the South Downs.
New baubles....Billy Gilmour, Danny Welbeck and Ed Turns!

Stockport v Charlton FA Cup 2nd Round replay on ITV4 now.
A chance for a look at our League Cup opponents.
Edit...ex-Brighton player Will Collar (1 EFL Cup appearance) gets a hat-trick for Stockport.
Thanks for the kind words @SeagullsoverLondon - it was a good contest and you got a very decent score.
Playing your joker on a 3-1 France v Poland prediction and watching it come to pass with Lewandowski's retaken penalty on the last kick of the game almost cost me a new television. Fair play...
Plenty of shocks, Germany out in the groups, England through in style and Albion's first 2 World Cup scorers in consecutive days.
It's all been very enjoyable.
If England get there, then Brazil would be great for purists if not for chances to win. To beat Brazil in a WC Final though...
If England don't make it, then I'll happily take Argentina v Morocco for plenty of reasons.
As well as African / Arab success, it's the chance for a current Albion...
New baubles....Solly March, Julio Enciso, Viatrikki Sarri and Julia Zigiotti Olme!
