MOTD Live: FIFA World Cup 2026
France v Iraq
France v Iraq (Kick-off 10.00pm). Kelly Cates presents all the action from both teams' second match in Group I, held at Philadelphia Stadium in the USA. The French were in dominant form in qualifying, winning five and drawing one of their six group matches to finish comfortably ahead of Ukraine, Iceland and Azerbaijan and give their fans hope that they can go one better than in 2022 and win the trophy they lifted in 2018. Iraq came into the tournament as the group's underdogs, but will be looking to display the same spirit that saw them defeat Bolivia in the inter-confederation play-offs to qualify for the first time since 1986. With analysis from Olivier Giroud, Joe Hart and Gael Clichy
