Mbappe's hat-trick goal
Victory for Didier Deschamps' side secured top spot in qualifying Group D.
And in Mbappe, they have a striker primed to lead them to World Cup glory.
France will try to defend their title in Qatar next year and few would bet against them doing it.
Winners of the 2021 UEFA Nations League, much of the France squad remains in its peak - or in Mbappe's case, enormously talented at a young age - and Deschamps will be able field an exceptionally strong side.
His starting line-up against Kazakhstan included the aforementioned names alongside the likes of Dayot Upamecano, N'Golo Kante and Antoine Griezmann.
It's a real embarrassment of riches and unfortunately on Saturday, there was nothing Kazakhstan could do about it.
