Les Bleus struggled mightily through the opening 45 minutes, completely stymied in their build-up and unable to create good chances. Senegal should have gone in front on two different occasions in the first half, as Nicolas Jackson hit the post on 25 minutes and Ismaila Sarr had a disastrous close-range miss on the stroke of halftime. Their wastefulness would be their downfall, as France made tactical tweaks at halftime and began to take charge of the game. After Edouard Mendy made two brilliant saves early in the second half to keep the game level, Mbappe was denied a penalty on the hour mark by a baffling referee de…

Mbappe has scored an incredible 86 goals in 103 appearances across his first two seasons with Real Madrid. However, a lack of a La Liga or Champions League titles at the same time as his former club Paris Saint-Germain have become Europe's dominant force makes club football a complicated picture for the 27-year-old at present.

The 2026 World Cup has picked up how the 2022 edition finished with the two most impressive performances in the competition so far coming from finalists four years ago France and Argentina and the two biggest stars from Qatar – Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé . It used to be said that the World Cup does not truly start until Brazil get going, but with the five-time champions losing their lustre in recent years, the modern version could be when France get under way given their embarrassment of riches in attack. Indeed, manager Didier Deschamps naming four world-class forwards in a 4-2-4 evoked memories of 1970 Brazil, one of the tournament’s greatest sides. It failed to click however in the first half as France struggled to get the ball to their star forwards, with a strong Senegal side dominating midfield. A slight adjustment at half-time to move Michael Olise into the number 10 position got the French purring in the second half, however, and he found Mbappé with a brilliant pass for the opening goal. Goals from Bradley Barcola and a second brilliant long-range effort by Mbappé meant France ran out 3-1 winner…

Yet their 1–0 win over Paraguay in the Round of 16 was not a display of flowing authority. It was a fight in the heat, a match dragged into bruising duels, interruptions and frustration before Mbappé’s penalty finally settled it. Morocco arrive in Boston with a different kind of authority.

France Predicted Lineup vs. Senegal: World Cup Group I France will certainly hope that Tuesday’s tantalising duel with Senegal is the first of several visits to MetLife Stadium this summer, given that the New Jersey amphitheatre will be hosting the 2026 World Cup final. The two-time world champion was on the brink of history in Qatar, taking a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina to penalties, but Les Bleus succumbed in the shootout and Brazil thus remains the only nation to retain the World Cup trophy. France may be bereft of that pressure in North America, yet that doesn’t mean expectations are any less subdued . There are depth concerns in midfield and potential vulnerabilities at fullback, but we’ve all seen the wealth of attacking talent at Didier Deschamps’s disposal and assumed the French will steamroll whoever has the misfortune of facing them this summer. However, a clash with Senegal, represents a tough challenge on Matchday 1.

Senegal World Cup 2026 Guide, Fixtures, Results & History Senegal at World Cup 2026: Team Preview, History, Key Players & Prediction Senegal World Cup 2026 preview: Pape Thiaw’s Lions of Teranga arrive in North America as ambitious outsiders, mixing Sadio Mané’s experience, Kalidou Koulibaly’s defensive authority and a younger, quicker attacking generation built to challenge France, Norway and Iraq in Group I. Senegal reach World Cup 2026 with a familiar sense of danger around them. They are not a novelty team, not a romantic outsider and not a side content with participation.

The challenge now is different. Senegal are trying to refresh without losing the hard edge that made them so difficult to beat. The squad still has icons: Sadio Mané remains the emotional reference point, Koulibaly remains the defensive leader and Édouard Mendy brings experience in goal. But Thiaw has moved the team towards a younger, quicker profile, with more dynamic movement…

By Neel Shelat Didier Deschamps’ last dance with France Didier Deschamps is set to leave his post as France’s head coach when his contract expires after the World Cup, drawing the curtain on a 14-year tenure. Of course, his most notable achievement was the 2018 World Cup victory, which enabled him to join Mário Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer as the only people to win the World Cup as both player and manager. While his tactics have been criticised for being too conservative at times, he can point to his consistently successful tournament record to prove their effectiveness. The 57-year-old former midfielder certainly won’t be short of attacking options this time around, as his squad features truckloads of attacking firepower in the likes of Kylian Mbappé , Ousmane Dembélé , Michael Olise , Désiré Doué and Rayan Cherki . Maintaining the right balance in the XI will be…

FIFA World Cup 2026 LIVE 1m ago LIVE 6m ago Advertisement live Updated2m ago France shrugged off a slow start and a controversial penalty decision to beat Senegal 3-1 in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup. Kylian Mbappe scored the opener after he was denied a penalty despite VAR sending the referee to the monitor, before Bradley Barcola doubled France’s lead with a delightful chip. Paris Saint-Germain teenager Ibrahim Mbaye pulled one back for Senegal in stoppage time, only for Mbappe to immediately restore the two-goal lead with a thumping strike.
