📊 Pre-Match Outlook and Strength Comparison

· France (World Ranking #2): Won 3-1 over Senegal in the first round. A star-studded squad with a total value of €1.52 billion, featuring four “hundred-million-euro men,” including Mbappé. If they win this match, they will qualify early.
· Iraq (World Ranking #60): Lost 1-4 to Norway in the first round. Total value is only €21.2 million. If they lose again, their chances of advancing from the group will be extremely slim.

Although the gap in strength on paper is vast, France’s head coach Deschamps has repeatedly stressed before the match that they must not underestimate their opponents. During the preparation period, Iraq drew 1-1 with Spain, showing a certain level of resilience and ability to engage in hard competition.

🧐 Match Highlights

· Mbappé’s “100th-appearance milestone”: This match will be Mbappé’s 100th appearance for the national team. He has scored 14 goals at the World Cup so far, and he is expected to continue setting new records.
· France’s squad rotation: Deschamps may make slight rotations. Chouaméni could be benched for tactical reasons, while Koné may make his debut; Barka, who made an impact as a substitute in the previous match, is expected to start.
· Iraq’s tactics: They are expected to use a steady defense-and-counterattack 4-4-2 formation, using dual strikers Ayman Husseini and Ali Hamadi to pressure France’s back line.
