Captain Roosters is a train that doesn’t stop
As France look forward to booking a place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, Roosters captain Kylian Mbappe has been dating a new personal station that cements his place among the most famous names to wear his country’s shirt in history.
According to Opta Stats, “Mbappe played this Sunday morning in the round of 16 against Paraguay, his 103rd international appearance for France.”
The network confirmed that the figure brings Mbappé level with his current coach Didier Deschamps as they share the ninth place in the list of players with the most appearances for France.

Mbappe and his team-mates will be keen to avoid surprises against Paraguay, who knocked out Germany in the round of 32, to continue on their way to more records, equaling Lloris’ record in addition to this edition’s top scorer and competing with Lionel Messi for the World Cup’s all-time top scorer overall.
Yesterday, Messi led Argentina out of the Cape Verdean trap as he scored a hat-trick in a 3-2 win, taking his tally to seven in this game and a total of 20 in his World Cup history.
Mbappe is second only to Messi on both lists as he scored six goals at the 2026 World Cup before the Paraguay game, taking his tally to 18 in the tournament’s all-time top scorer race.
