## Resource

Kylian Mbappé is leading France like never before, forging a deep bond with coach Didier Deschamps and embodying the spirit of 1998 as he carries the team toward glory. After scoring France’s opener against Sweden and rushing to hug Deschamps—just days after the coach’s personal loss—he’s proving himself not just a scorer but a unifier. Mbappé’s leadership goes beyond goals: he’s defending teammates, pushing for collective victory, and embracing his captaincy with grit. Critics may see him as selfish, but Deschamps and the squad see a mission-driven leader. Meanwhile, in Mexico, Julián Quiñones is lighting up the tournament, guiding his nation to its first knockout-stage win at home in 40 years—and proving that hope, heart, and heroics can rewrite history.
