Ronaldo can get the Golden Boot to his butt instead.

I can't see Iraq scoring. Should have gone with 4-0 Iraq look lost.

FRA ahead by 1 in the half!

Mbappe let that shot rip!

France leading by just 1 goal at half time?

Expected more from them.

Messi 5 off 5 for Argentina? Another golden boot loading.

Match has been delayed because of severe weather.

Oh that explains the long half time. I stopped watching and Google is stuck on "half time".

While the broadcasting teams hint of potential game-delaying thunder and lightning, Iraq have shown composure to weather the French storm as Les Bleus have managed to work above their 0.24 xG. Up the other end, half chances for Al Hamadi have helped Iraq to a 0.16 xG, although they'll be hoping for a fresher dynamic in the second period. At the time of writing, the Opta Supercomputer provides France with a 94.8% win probability. A draw comes in at 4.3%, while an Iraqi victory from behind looks the least likely at 0.9%.

The Philadelphia Stadium has steadily emptied and it's due to heavy rain and storm protocols. With thunder and lightning present around the stadium, the game is currently suspended, and the players will come out after a 15-minute delay has let the menacing clouds pass. The fans have been ushered inside to find shelter.
