The World Cup last-32 continues today as tournament favourites France take on Sweden at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. France have been dominant, breezing past Senegal, Norway and Iraq with ten goals scored in the group stage. Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele each scored four goals, with Dembele hitting a first-half hat-trick in their last match.
Sweden's Group Stage Struggles
Sweden finished third in their group with four points after a turbulent phase. Graham Potter's men opened with a 5-0 win over Tunisia but then lost 5-0 to the Netherlands. They face a tough challenge against a ruthless France side, though they may draw inspiration from Paraguay's upset win over Germany last night.
