#FRAARG: Mbappe Promise To Donate World Cup Earnings To Charity

French forward, Kylain Mbappe has revealed his plan to donate all his earnings from the 2018 FIFA world cup to charity.

Speaking in an interview with The Mirror, Mbappe, who is a patron of the Preiers de Cordees association, a charity which helps organize sports activities for children with disabilities, said he will donate all his financial earnings from the tournament to charity.

PSG forward, Kylian Mbappe completed a rousing comeback for France as they defeated Lionel Messi’s Argentina 4-3 in the knockout stage of the 2018 FIFA world cup.
Argentina washed of memories of their poor group-stage performance, as they earned the lead three minutes into the second half after Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann opened the goal-fest from the spot-kick in the 13th minute.

After Griezmann’s early opener, Angel Di Maria scored the equalizer in the 41st minute with a sublime finisher. Gabriel Mercado gave Argentina the most unlikely lead in the 48th minute, when he capitalized on a blocked shot from Lionel Messi.

Benjamin Pavard scored the equalizer for France in the 57th minute with an excellent rocket shot from outside the 18-yard. Kylian Mbappe made another national record on Saturday afternoon as he became the first teenager to score two goals in the world cup for France. Kun Aguero’s late goal gave Argentina a rare hope of an equalizer when he scored a third goal for La Albeiceste in extra time but the French team eventually proceeded to the next round at the end of the match.
