Iraq were well beaten by Norway and are huge underdogs for this clash.

What’s been said?

France boss Didier Deschamps: “We must not underestimate the Iraqi team; they are not a small team. They have qualities and have shown them in matches against Spain and Bolivia. We may make some changes, but our goal will remain to achieve victory. The match against Iraq will not be an easy one… we must not think it will be easy.”

Iraq head coach Graham Arnold on how to stop Mbappe: “I asked if we could play three goalkeepers but they said no.”
