World Cup Thriller Paused: Mbappé Fires France Ahead of Thunderstorm Delay

France’s World Cup match against Iraq was halted at halftime after a severe thunderstorm warning. FIFA invoked “severe weather mode” as lightning approached the stadium. Play is set to resume at 7pm ET. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring with a powerful left-foot strike from outside the box. It was his third goal of this tournament. At 27, Mbappé has now scored 15 World Cup goals. He sits just three goals shy of the all-time record set earlier this week.
