How to watch France vs Iraq live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction

Kylian Mbappe and France aim to make their World Cup dynasty a reality and will look to pile up the goals against massive underdogs Iraq at Philadelphia Stadium on Monday.

Mbappe scored twice in the opener for the defending champions and Les Bleus are looking to get to their group finale against Norway atop the group, with new tiebreakers meaning that a win may be necessary but a draw can do just fine if they can flip their goal differential disadvantage (Norway currently have a one-goal edge).

WATCH — France v Iraq

As for the Lions of Mesopotomia, Iraq got a goal from Aymen Hussein — their fifth leading scorer all-time — but are longshots to emerge from this dangerous group.

Iraq are competing in their first World Cup for 40 years after going 0-0-3 at the 1986 tournament in France. They scored one goal and conceded four over that entire competition, so for better or worse history will be made over the next few weeks.

France team news, focus

Les Bleus are healthy, powerful, and deep. Mbappe is looking to play in his third-straight World Cup Final and found his footing in the second half against Senegal. The French would love nothing more than to build a halftime lead that allows them to rest stars in the second half to prepare for Norway.

Iraq team news, focus

Premier League fans will remember Ipswich Town's Ali Al-Hamadi, while MLS honks have caught views of Nashville SC's Ahmed Qasem. But it's Hussein — known as Abu Tubar (The Hatchet Man) — who is Iraq's star. He boasts the national league's transfer record fee and has scored against Japan, South Korea, and now Norway. He's a massive part of their hopes.

France vs Iraq prediction

It's been a World Cup with more than a few surprises but... nope. France 3-0 Iraq.
