Weirdest crossover

The PSG star’s interaction with Ivanka and her family has got the attention of soccer fans as well. One tweeted, “Weirdest crossover.” Not many would have expected Mbappe and the Kushner family to be friendly with each other, mainly because they hail from different countries. In addition to that, another fan tweeted, “What an oddly sinister photograph.”

As mentioned earlier, France is the first team to qualify for the knockout stages. If they win against Tunisia in their next game, the top spot in Group D would be sealed. The defending champions of the FIFA World Cup are looking strong and dominant so far in the stages of the tournament, but can they go all the way?
