  1. Argentina 2-2

    I realise that penalties are fun. Like, proper dramatic fun. But I think I'd prefer one of these to win it in the time we have left.

    Messi or Mbappe. One of them to score a worldy.

    Larry: A world cup full of drama and a few football legends. What a time to be alive.

    ABINASH: In the high-stakes contest, it's often courage and mental fortitude that gets the job done than finesse. Irrespective of the result, one has to appreciate the courageous decision of Didier Deschamps.

  3. 'Key changes for Argentina'

    The changes that Argentina have made have brought them back into life and got them back into this game.

  4. Argentina 2-2

    Fifteen minutes to settle this in extra time or we've got the drama of a penalty shootout.

    How can you not love football?

  5. Argentina 2-2

    French president Emmanuel Macron is probably how the whole of feels right now...

    Two huge huge bits of defending from Upamecano to keep his country in this tie.

    What a block, as good a goal from Upamecano!

  8. 'Massive block'

    Argentina 2-2

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    What about that block there, massive massive block from Upamecano doing his bit. Huge block. For the first time in a while, we are seeing Argentina coming to life.

  9. Argentina 2-2

    MARTINEZ MISSES!

    Wow. Lautaro has his second chance in a minute to give Argentina the lead. He is found in behind the defence and gets a shot away that is sent wide by a late intervention from - again - Dayot Upamecano.

  10. Argentina 2-2

    MASSIVE CHANCE! MASSIVE BLOCK!

    There is Lautaro Martinez, found in space in the box by Lionel Messi. He fires his shot on target but in slides Dayot Upamecano to deny him.

    Brilliant defending.

  11. Argentina 2-2

    I did a piece before this tournament that suggested Lautaro Martinez was well-placed to win the Golden Boot. That worked out well.

  12. 'Martinez has one last chance'

    Argentina 2-2

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    Lautaro Martinez has had lots of chances but it just hasn't quite gone for him. He has got one last big chance for his country here. None of those misses will matter if he can stick one in the back of the net now.

  13. Argentina 2-2

    Marcos Acuna tries to fashion something from the right for Argentina, but his cross is wild and flies out for a goal-kick.

  14. Argentina 2-2

    Rob Green
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's all now, they are doling well with posirional shape.

    They aren't letting Argentina out. Argentina need to see these moments through.

    Deep breaths.

    Few things have ever justified the rip-off WiFi fees on transatlantic flights, but this is one of them.

  16. Argentina 2-2

    Is it going to Lloris or Martinez waving his team-mates over to celebrate with the fans after the shootout, though, Robin?

    I sense we are all being reminded of the 1999 Division 2 playoff final between Gillingham and Man City when City scored two late goals to force extra-time. Mbappe for me is the new Paul Dickov.

  18. SUBSTITUTION

    Argentina 2-2

    Here come some more Argentina subs.

    Leandro Paredes will bring some bite to midfield. Lautaro Martinez will try and bring a killer blow in attack.

    Rodrigo de Paul and Julian Alvarez are off.

  20. Argentina 2-2

    Again, Kingsley Coman's delivery is poor. Headed away at the near post.
