Jorge Sampaoli Insists He'll 'Come Back Stronger' After World Cup Exit Following 4-3 Loss to France

Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli insists he'll 'come back stronger' after La Albicelsete's World Cup campaign came to an end following their 4-3 loss to France in the last 16.

In one of the games of the tournament so far, the two sides headed into half time level after Angel Di Maria's thumping effort cancelled out Antoine Griezmann's penalty, before an early goal in the second half from Gabriel Mercado put Argentina ahead.

France rallied however as a stunning Benjamin Pavard effort and brace from Kylian Mbappe put the French back into the ascendancy, rendering Sergio Aguero's late header little more than consolation.
