Kylian Mbappe and France aim to make their World Cup dynasty a reality and will look to pile up the goals against massive underdogs Iraq at Philadelphia Stadium on Monday.
Mbappe scored twice in the opener for the defending champions and Les Bleusare looking to get to their group finale against Norway atop the group, with new tiebreakers meaning that a win may be necessary but a draw can do just fine if they can flip their goal differential disadvantage (Norway currently have a one-goal edge).
WATCH — France v Iraq
As for the Lions of Mesopotomia, Iraq got a goal from Aymen Hussein — their fifth leading scorer all-time — but are longshots to emerge from this dangerous group.
Iraq are competing in their first World Cup for 40 years after going 0-0-3 at the 1986 tournament in France. They scored one goal and conceded four over that entire competition, so for better or worse history will be made over the next few weeks.
