WHICH WORLD CUP MATCHES ARE ON TODAY AND WHERE TO WATCH

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF NORWAY VS FRANCE?

Norway and France wrap up their group-stage campaigns with a direct clash for the top spot in Group I. The match takes place at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Gillette Stadium in Boston.

Both teams have six points and have already secured qualification. France holds the advantage on goal difference and only needs a draw. Norway, meanwhile, must win to take first place.

The match will feature Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, tied in the scoring charts with four goals each. The French team will be led by assistant coach Guy Stéphan, as Didier Deschamps returned to Europe for family reasons.

WHAT ABOUT SENEGAL VS IRAQ?

Senegal and Iraq face off at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at BMO Field in Toronto in search of their first points of the tournament. Both teams lost their previous two matches and sit at the bottom of the group.

That means a win, preferably by a wide margin, keeps alive their hopes of qualification through the ranking of the best third-placed teams.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF CAPE VERDE VS SAUDI ARABIA?

Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia battle for a place in the knockout stage at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at NRG Stadium in Texas. Cape Verde has two points, remains historically unbeaten, and sits in third place in Group H. Saudi Arabia, by contrast, has one point and is at the bottom of the group. The need for victory forces both teams to go for goal from the opening whistle.

WHAT ABOUT URUGUAY VS SPAIN?

Uruguay and Spain close out the day at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, with the top spot in Group H on the line. Spain leads with four points and secures first place with a win. La Celeste, with two points, needs a victory to climb the table.

In the event of a draw or defeat, Uruguay risks having to rely on tiebreaker criteria and the result of the simultaneous match between Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia.
