NEW YORK: France arrive in Philadelphia as the World Cup's most feared attacking force, but Kylian Mbappe and coach Didier Deschamps have warned that acclaim, records and a seemingly clear path mean little if they fail to stay grounded against Paraguay in Saturday's last-16 clash.
Les Bleus have won all four matches, scored 13 goals and conceded two, with Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and Bradley Barcola netting 12 of them. A bench containing Rayan Cherki, Desire Doue and Jean-Philippe Mateta gives Deschamps options most opponents can only envy.
