World Cup 2026 : France battle through Paraguay dark arts • FRANCE 24 English

France is through to the round of 16 after a fierce battle with Paraguay. Paraguay sat in a low block and tried to frustrate les Bleus, often committing bad fouls, all of which went unpunished. Kylian Mbappé scored the only goal of the game, converting a penalty. Morocco were slightly stunned by Canada in the first half of their game in Houston, unfortunately, the Canucks were unable to keep the pressure going and conceded the first goal of the fixture just after half time. Last minute risks did not pay off for the co-hosts who suffered two more goals at the hands of the Atlas Lions. That 3-0 win means that Morocco will face France in the quarter finals, a dramatic remake of the 2022 World Cup.
