    Varane and Khazri do the toss with the Kiwi official!

    The players come out here and the anthems are being played!
  • PRVW
    Tunisia lost 0-1 to Australia in their last game. Ghandri, Maaloul, Kechrida, Ben Romdhane, Khazri and Slimane replace Bronn, Abdi, Drager, Msakni, Sliti and Jebali. Six changes in all.
  • PRVW
    Varane and Tchouameni are the only survivors from the 2-1 win over Denmark. Lloris, Kounde, Vatane, Upamecano, T Hernandez, Rabiot, Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe and Giroud drop out.
  • PRVW
    As for Tunisia, they have two options. Either beat France and hope Australia v Denmark is a draw or beat France by more goals than what Denmark beat Australia by. If the Aussies win, Tunisia are out.
  • PRVW
    France are already through and need a draw to secure top spot. Even if they lose, unless Australia beat Denmark and overturn a six goal differential, they will be top anyway.
  • PRVW
    Matthew Conger of NZ is the referee for this one while Abdullah Al Marri of Qatar is the VAR. He was the VAR who wrongly intervened to give Portugal a penalty against Uruguay on Monday as this appointment had been made before this match.
  • PRVW
    France XI: Mandanda (GK); Camavinga, Konate, Varane, Disasi; Veretout, Tchouameni, Fofana; Coman, K Muani and Guendouzi.
  • PRVW
    Tunisia XI: Dahmen (GK); Talbi, Ghandri, Meriah; Maaloul, Laidouni, Skhiri, Kechrida; Ben Romdhane, Khazri, Slimane.
