AI match recap
France come into this group match with momentum after beating Senegal, while Iraq arrive under real pressure after a rough opener against Norway. The matchup points toward long France spells on the ball against a deep Iraqi block that will try to stay compact and counter through Hussein and Al-Hamadi. Team news is mostly favorable for France, with their managed defenders expected to be available, while Iraq's only real uncertainty is whether they change goalkeeper. The biggest question is not who controls the game, but how long Iraq can keep their shape before France's wide quality starts creating repeated openings.
