France v Sweden LIVE: Team news and World Cup updates as Kylian Mbappe’s side make call on injured William Saliba – UK Times

Erling Haaland (who else?) scored the late winner as Norway edged Ivory Coast 2-1 in Tuesday’s early kick-off.

Here is the lowdown on how it all went down in Texas

Can Mbappe catch Lionel Messi tonight?

The French star would need two goals to go level with the Argentine in the Golden Boot race, in which Messi has become the all-time top scorer at World Cups.

The winners will face Paraguay after they overcame Germany in a penalty-shootout upset. That match will take place on Saturday 4 July in Philadelphia.

Viewers in the UK can watch the match on ITV1, or STV for Scottish fans. It will also be streamed on ITV X and STV Player.

France’s clash with Sweden kicks off at 10pm BST (5pm ET) on Tuesday 30 June at the New York/New Jersey Stadium.

Today, France continue their bid for a third star on their jersey, as they take on Sweden in the World Cup round of 32.

France enter the game having comfortably overcome Senegal, Iraq and Norway, with Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele shining along the way. And although key defender William Saliba was rested against Norway due to a back issue, he is expected to return here.

Meanwhile, Sweden’s opening 5-1 win over Tunisia gave way to a 5-1 loss to Netherlands in a curious turn of events, before a draw with Japan got Graham Potter’s side safely through to the knockouts.
