Twitter Erupts as France Dump Lionel Messi & Argentina Out of 2018 World Cup

Argentina bowed out of the 2018 World Cup on Saturday, having emerged on the losing end of a 4-3 result against France at the Kazan Arena.

Jorge Sampaoli came into the tournament with many expectations. But their first game - a draw against Iceland - showed just how ill-prepared they were and they were made to scrape their way out of the group stage in their final opening-round match against Nigeria.

Coming up against France on Saturday, you could tell that La Albiceleste were out of their depth.

Kylian Mabappe won an early penalty which was converted by Antoine Griezmann.
