Raul Jimenez. And the defenders in trouble. It's going Mexico's way. Raul Jimenez. Well, they are flying. And it's half an hour of dream football from Mexico. They may lose the ball once, but once it comes back to Raal Gimenez, it's fantastic one-touch football bouncing it around.

Heat Now Medina pulled back here. Let's run. Messi. History in Dallas. 40 years to the day since Diego Meradona scored the hand of God.

What a big goal that is for Kian Mbappé. And that's what happens when you tackle. win a tackle that leads to this

situation at least with a perfect ball for Mbappé and the graphic on the screen only tells you part of the story. Here's Mbappé. He's going to score. He does score. It's 4-3. Mbappé scored the most goals in the history of the World Cup. He's gone past Lionel Messi and France are right back in it. I simply cannot believe what my eyes are seeing here in Miami. Truly astonishing. What a ball from Mise. Are you kidding me? Outside of the left foot. What a finish that is, by the way.

I mean, France were a disaster in the first half. Second half, they've just exploded. The ball from Malise. Maintain links to Culture. That's giveaway. It's Pedri. Pedri through traffic right at Vzena. He makes his first save of the game. That could have been a lot worse for Cape Verde. Fabian Ruiz for Rodri. Rodri Kukarea back door. Rosin stayed at home and he's going to pay the price. No, it comes off the crossbar. The fall up and saved.

Wow. It's the same run from Kukarea. This time he is on side. So hard to defend because you don't want to drop too far as a fullback and open up space. Great header across goal again. Ferrane Torres hits the crossbar. Can't stay over the first one. And then Oya Sabo. That ball's going in and a team that are playing free. You heard Chicharito talking to Kukar back into the middle. Veratore save. Oena quick reaction down to his right. Torres and the Spaniards in the building. Thought it was a goal. Yeah. Challenge at the near post. Opens it up. Fan Torres comes all the way front says. Why not play direct?

Does just that. Header. A touch there from Vosia. That might have been going wide from our angle up here. You heard Alex Aljo in her reporting yesterday echoing the reports from overseas. He's about to make a big move. Oh, it's going to come into the middle and Vina was right in the right place at the right time. That was Fabian Ruiz who had the free header and just put it right at Vzena because of his ability on the ball. Now you have to overcommit what they weren't doing before. They've got three players against him and there's one done already inside for Yurente. Surveys the options right at Vena. That was Marino.

Still has a lot to do from outside the box and he picks out that top corner. Saddam gets a touch on it, but he doesn't stop that. Has two hands on it. Could be stronger with those two, but he gets shielded by a defender in front and it's Lionel Messi. Gonzalez is going to get there. Fires it in. Looking for Julian Alvarez. clearance only as far as Alexis Mallister on the decks and on the save. The rebound is Messi's second goal. He might end the night as

the World Cup's alltime top goal scorer. Messi with two from Messi. He's on the move as everybody else is standing still. He just anticipates the play. He's starting wide and as it comes out eventually to Mallister. Look at Messi on the left. He's moving towards the goal as the shot comes off. So, he's just anticipating that there might be a chance. And there is a chance. And then he has to have the composure even in that moment to have a look at Zidon. Which way is he going to go? He lays out to the right and Messi just passes it into the back of the net with his right foot. That ball is moving, swerving.

It's a tough one for Zidon and he spills it. Nico Gonzalez. Lo Messi. first career World Cup hat-tick ties the all-time goalcoring record. Well, he got his World Cup four years ago and now he's out to get every other World Cup record and sits joint top with Mirros Kosa with his 16th World Cup goal and a hat-tick.

Sydney Lopez Cabraw to the outside back in for Montero.

Alexo trying to reset quickly and try to catch Argentina napping. Mallister can't make the play. Lopez Cabra. It's incredible. It's remarkable. It's almost unbelievable. It's K Verde for a second time tonight. E cuts inside. When the ball comes back to him, you're going to see everybody's converging now centrally. He's got his hand up. Says, "Give me the ball. Has one thing in his mind. Takes it on the right foot." He has so much to do from there. Oh my. Messi on Spence trying to find space for that left foot into the middle. Enzo Fernandez.

not once and they're hoping that once this is in play it'll count as a game-winning goal in the semifinal. Indeed it is. Argentina do it again. And they said it with Spain Sunday in New Jersey in the World Cup final. It's in their blood. The passion, the emotion, the intensity, the fight. It's all they live for and it's all they live for today. But at the end of the day, it's that man that decides the biggest games in the biggest moments and his country has counted on him and boy has he delivered. Messi the difference, but it's the Argentine spirit that wins again and punches their ticket in the final.

The reigning champions of Europe, the reigning champions of South America for the first time in history will face off in a World Cup final. We cannot wait. Rebecca Low, down to you as it finishes here in Atlanta. Argentina 2, England one. If you're Spain, how do we find a way?
