Just under 90 minutes to go until France kick off their World Cup campaign here in New Jersey against Senegal, a team they haven’t played at all since the 2002 curtain-raiser
Mbappé, Dembélé, Doué and Olise confirmed to start, Saliba also in the XI

DEEPLY frustrating that the 2026 World Cup Final won't be at the Azteca.
Look at it. It's a football cathedral.
