Wow, what a match, France vs Sweden is finish now! The final result is 3-0 for France, very big win for them. France was much much better team, they have crazy possession and control all game, Sweden only try counterattack but no good. First goal score Mbappe in 45 minute, very nice shot before halftime. Then in second half, Barcola score for 2-0 in 53 minute. Sweden tried but Mbappe score again in 74 minute and boom, 3-0. France look so strong! Now France go to next round and they will play against Paraguay. Sweden is out of World Cup. Let see if France will handle Paraguay, but I think they are able to fight for title this year.

France had a total advantage and it's fair to say the Swedes were lucky to concede only three goals. so far France's performance looked impressive and all their opponents had virtually no chance. France's next opponent will be Paraguay who sensationally eliminated Germany from the tournament. I think there won't be any surprises this time and France will beat Paraguay who spent much more energy in their match playing extra time.

France have been playing very impressively, and I think they really do have a great chance of winning this trophy. There’s still a long way to go , and there may well be some strong potential  opponents who could prove to be a stumbling block, but if France continue to perform like this , I think it will be difficult for anyone to beat them.

France’s front line is so prolific, and their creativity in midfield is also excellent , and to top it all off, they have a solid defensive line. Sweden are not a weak team , but they were completely helpless against France, and if it weren’t for their skilled goalkeeper , I think Sweden would have conceded more than three goals.

Imagine him hitting the bar with an expensive bicycle kick but unable to score one on one. But we have nothing much to bother because Mbappe was obviously there for the team.

So many people just wanted that to be goal you know, it would have being a magical goal that would be talked about and shown on most of the high lights throughout the tournament. Couldn’t imagine how he thought of that and from such a distance.

I expected Dembele to score, but thankGod he didn't... assuming he did, it would have created silent unhealthy competition between him and Mbappé moving forward.

As per Dembele not being able to get a goal, he had all the goals in their last game, scoring the fastest hat trick in the World Cup if I’m not mistaken. It’s no surprise he couldn’t net any goals today but, I doubt it would have created any tension between himself and Mbappe. The French team is one that hasn’t being greedy in front of goal, except for Barcola though, I think he got at least 2 chances to supply and assist and just didn’t.

The Olise and Mbappe understanding gave France the lead in the 20th minute but Mbappe was caught offside and the goal was ruled out. France is really dominating Sweden both in ball possession and chances created but they haven't been able to take the lead, the match is now 37 minutes and the score is still 0-0.

Asides the obvious sync between the players you mentioned, the France squad is just superb. They're a formidable team and it shows in their games. I didn't really doubt their capabilities in the game against Sweden. I had predicted them to have a win in that game and they didn't disappoint me in the end.
They dominated the game and had the ball in their possession most of the time during the game and did put in effort to make that possession count. Great game and a nice win for France.

I was telling a friend that was watching the France vs Sweden game that I think it's unfair to other nations participating in this FIFA World Cup that France has such an intimidating team.

France bench can form a different team had still be a very serious contender for the tournament. Can't remember the last time we witnessed a squad that's as complete as the current France team.

To the attackers, I don't even know how to describe them. Such an electrifying and terrific attacking line. Kylian Mbappe is whoever he thinks he is. What a player.

France is the top performing team in this World Cup, France will undoubtedly reach the final. However, the players of the French team did not have to spend much energy with the Swedish team here, and the French team improved even more later. Kylian Mbappe has proven in today's match how advanced and aggressive the French team's game has become.
Even after the entire defense was tracked, Mbappe could not be stopped, I saw this match and the whole game was almost one-sidedly attacked.

This world cup might be the reason why Real madrid will go for Olise, Perez dropped one news some weeks ago concerning the club keeping a specific huge amount for a special player, I'm thinking, what if that special player is Olise. The Real madrid president is a huge fan of Mbappe and I think he will make everything possible for Mbappe to be comfortable in the club. I will not be surprised if after this world Real madrid bids for Olise, his such a fantastic player to watch.

I haven’t seen any team that is so compact and in shape like the French team. I would have said Spain but, you don’t find them coming up with the same performance as France.

In today’s game, the manager wasn’t open to taking chances with the knockout and had hoped he would end the game tight form the first half, fielding all his best strikers, Mbappe, Dembele, Barcola, Olise, Rabiot, he had all the fire power but, it took them a lot of triers before they were able to get that first goal and that did force Sweden out, inviting France to score even more goals,

[SUPERSAIAN]

Although Ivory Coast occasionally challenged the Norwegians with their physical strength and some individual skills, their poor choices in the final passes and the gaps left in their defense proved costly. Norway maintained their discipline and tempo after taking the lead. While Ivory Coast leveled the score with a goal, Norway was a much better team and didn't let their guard down after that. Haaland's goal secured the winning goal.

Another game to see how solid and fearsome the French team can be. France dominated the game and while grey could have scored more we could say they were bit unlucky with that.

To be honest, it's not like Sweden has been so much remarkable this world cup, getting trashed by Netherlands 5 goals to 1 yet we could say they did fair and should prepare better for another international competition,  if only they met a team not so formidable as France they might have move pass this stage.

[SuperBitMan]

I wish Olise can go to Real Madrid so him and Mbappe can perform some magic, I’m loving this two players playing together they are very good and they understand themselves better, I’m sure everyone was very sure that France was going to win this match, as for me I was very sure that France was going to win, to be honest I don’t see any team in this World Cup that can actually stop France they are so exceptional and they are doing greatly well, the players in France are just too good.
Mbappe is just scoring goals right now he has the same numbers of goals as Messi and I don’t see Messi winning the World Cup golden boot this 2026 World Cup, Mbappe will actually grab it because he just can’t stop scoring .

You know France definitely feels like a cheat team in this world cup because how on Earth do they have the best attackers best midfielders even some of the best defenders
So I personally do not expect them to loose any match Till quarter finals because at that point they will be facing other good countries as well. But for now Win all the way I always bet them to win

It seems that this World Cup had became a major stage for goalkeepers around the world to shine in front of all the football fans. Beside Vozinha the goalkeeper for Cabo Verde who performed extremely well in this World Cup especially against Spain, I felt Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill and also the Netherlands goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen are great players too. Both of these goalkeepers did made a lot of amazing saves against their opponents before the matches went into penalties shootout. Had it not been for Bart Verbruggen making a few crucial saves, I think Morocco could have already won the match without the need to go through the penalties shootout against the Netherlands.

France is a fantastic team. They have the power to beat any team. They put on a magnificent performance against Sweden as well. Several of their shots hit the post. Despite that, they scored three goals. Mbappé was the star of the match with two goals. The race for the top scorer title continues.

France's attacks were so impressive that I was surprised. If the Swedish goalkeeper had not shown excellent skills, they would have conceded many more goals. Mbappe has shown great performance and there are several other young players in France who have played impressively. The Swedish defense was repeatedly broken down by the French attackers but I praise their goalkeeper. Goalkeeper Jacob Widell was so active that he created a defensive wall himself and saved many goals.

Haaland and his teammates looked very happy today because they managed to win against Ivory Coast with a score of 2-1. Unfortunately, Ivory Coast had to swallow a bitter pill in this match, ending their World Cup campaign this season. In my opinion, the Norway vs. Ivory Coast match was exciting, especially when Diallo scored, which ultimately tied the match, making it even more exciting because both teams had only scored one goal each. However, Haaland finally scored, and the match ended 2-1 in Norway's favor

When betting on that match, I was hesitant when the score was even because I favored Norway to win and was afraid of losing. Fortunately, Norway won, and I ended up profiting from my bet. Norway has now qualified for the round of 16 and will face Brazil. I think the match will be even more exciting because both teams are very ambitious to win. Who do you think will win this match Brazil or Norway?

France is way above teams like England, I think France is going to comfortably beat England, and I feel that France is equivalent to Argentina, and they can still both be in the Finals and it would be a huge game difference, especially the way they’re playing, watching the game between France and Sweden is an evidence that France isn’t joking in the FIFA World Cup.

The World Cup seems to have started now, the game is coming thick and fast, Sweden had no chance against France, and it was more like a humiliation.

Widell made nine saves and, despite conceding three goals, had a very successful match. Defending like that against a team like France isn't easy. France has a fantastic squad, and we all know the quality of their players. Despite this, the Swedish goalkeeper, even though he played one of the best matches of his career, still conceded three goals. Widell was the best player for the Swedish team in this match, so I congratulate him.

Who do you think will win this match Brazil or Norway?

The irony is that both these teams managed to qualify because the tournament was expanded to 48 teams. Norway was one of the teams whom I missed in 2022. And I was afraid that I would never be able to watch Erling Håland in world cup. There is still a lot of overdependence on Håland, but from the matches completed so far Norway doesn't give the impression of being a one-man army. Other players such as Alexander Sørloth and Martin Ødegaard are also contributing nicely. But their campaign might end with the next match. In the round of 16, they will be facing Brazil. 

[Bobrox]

The top scorer tittle race really excited for the World Cup 2026 after Kylian Mbappe brace last night against Sweden now he scored 6 goals of 4 appearances, Mbappe have the same goals with Lionel Messi but have one match more will face Cape Verde at round of 32. Last few hours ago, Erling Haaland scoring one goal helped Norway qualifying to round of 32 and defeating Ivory Coast right now he scored 5 goals of 3 appearances.

I think this time World Cup possibility any players break the record by scoring many goals and believing have players will score up to 8 until 10 goals, next games in round of 16 France will face Paraguay and likely Kylian Mbappe will score around two until three goals.
