Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
The match between Ukraine and France ended with a 0-2 victory for France. As we all guessed, France was far superior. In fact, Michel Olise scored a goal from the very first minute, in the 10th minute. Then, Mbappé completed the victory with their second goal in the 82nd minute. France now sits in second place in Group D, thanks to Iceland's 5-0 victory over Azerbaijan.
Well, this time, Real Madrid's French players both contributed significantly to their teams, with Mbappé with one goal assisted by Tchouameni

Both Iceland and France have started strongly. The problem here is that only one team from each group will gain direct qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The second placed team in each group will advance to the play-offs. A total of 16 teams will participate in the play-offs, with only 4 teams getting the qualification for world cup. So the chances of Iceland qualifying to the world cup looks dim for me, as in all probability it will be France who will top the group. Iceland will probably play against teams like Denmark and Slovakia in the second round.
