Iraq face Senegal in must-win World Cup clash

Iraq face Senegal on Thursday in a must-win World Cup Group I clash. After a 3–0 loss to France in a storm-disrupted opener, your team needs points to keep knockout-stage hopes alive. The French defeat saw Kylian Mbappé score twice and Ousmane Dembélé add a third, with defender Hussein Ali working to contain Mbappé throughout. Iraq showed organisation and physical resilience in difficult conditions, but now nothing short of a result against Senegal will do.
