On the latest World Cup Daily podcast, Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Archie Rhind-Tutt, and Dan Bardell as they dissect France's dominant performance against Sweden. The panel questions whether any team can stop Kylian Mbappé and co., who breezed past Sweden with a 3-0 victory.
France's Attacking Prowess
France's attacking trio of Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, and Mbappé were relentless, streaming forward at every opportunity. The panel noted that the scoreline could have been even more emphatic, with Olise denied what would have been an all-time great World Cup goal.
Haaland's Late Heroics for Norway
Elsewhere, Erling Haaland scored a late winner to secure Norway's place in the last 16, where they will face Brazil. The match was not a classic, but the goals were all of high quality, according to the podcast panel.
Mexico's Relentless Form
Mexico also impressed, showing relentless energy at the Azteca stadium. The panel described them as looking very ominous for whoever they might face in the last 16. The hosts also previewed Wednesday's games, including England vs DR Congo, and answered listener questions.
