France roasts Norway: Ousmane Dembélé steps into a starring role with fastest World Cup hat trick in 72 years

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — As if France weren't already a multidimensional offensive onslaught of a nightmare for the rest of this World Cup field, Les Bleus predictably blew past a second-string Norway squad on Friday in the teams' final game of Group I play with a 4-1 rout. The result lifted France to nine points on 10 goals in three games, setting them up for one of the best bracket positions in the knockout stage.

France's first three goals arrived in the first 32 minutes and came from the foot of one man, but not the one who's the face of French soccer.

After Kylian Mbappé spanked a quick-strike attempt across the crossbar just 21 seconds into the game — a blast that immediately teased the 64,000-plus in attendance here at the home of the New England Patriots — the best ball striker on the planet mostly took on a supporting role over the next 87 minutes. Friday afternoon was Ousmane Dembélé's moment on the biggest stage in soccer. He deftly and redoubtably slammed home the goods in the seventh minute, the 20th minute and then the 32nd minute, with Mbappé assisting on the first two.
