THE BIGGER PICTURE: Di Maria netted Argentina’s second goal of the game against France, with his smart finish putting them 2-0 up by half-time.

WHAT NEXT ? Di Maria has, like fellow countryman Lionel Messi, vowed to prolong his international playing career on the back of a memorable World Cup triumph, with the veteran winger ready to add to his collection of 129 caps.
