Kylian Mbappé scored two goals in France’s 3-0 win over Iraq.
Norway
Norway has already advanced and, like France, has won both of its group stage matches. Norway can win the group and face a potentially more favorable matchup in the knockouts by beating France today. Erling Haaland and Norway have been one of the most impressive teams of the group stage and goes into the final matchday in excellent form.
Senegal
Senegal has yet to pick up a point in Group I and needs a win over Iraq to have any hope of advancing as one of the eight best third-place teams. With a -3 goal difference entering the game, a win by one or two goals would likely put Senegal on the bubble. It will need results to go their way across the other groups. A draw or loss ends their tournament.
Iraq
Iraq is in a similar boat as Senegal. Except, with a -6 goal difference entering the game, Iraq almost certainly needs a multi-goal win to advance. It needs a win to stay alive and would need help from elsewhere to advance as one of the eight best third-place teams. The loser of this match will be eliminated from the tournament.
How To Watch Group I Matches
Both Group I matches kick off simultaneously at 3 p.m. ET today and air live on FOX and FS1, streaming on FOX One.
