The Iraq National Football Team is preparing to face France in the FIFA World Cup 2026. Coach Graham Arnold is discussing the challenges the team will face against French star Kylian Mbappe. Arnold said during a press conference in Philadelphia: I asked if we could have three goalkeepers, but I was told it's not possible. The French team captain had shone in the opening match against Senegal, scoring two goals and leading the team to a 3-1 win. And away from the joke, the Australian coach confirmed that the match against France is a big test for the Iraqi players. He added: Maybe our players have never faced opponents of this level, but we will enter the field focused on ourselves. Arnold has previous experience facing the French national team on the world stage, having led the Australian team against France in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, which ended with a 4-1 win for the French. The Iraqi team coach praised his French counterpart Didier Deschamps, saying: He's a great man and has done a wonderful job. It's clear that his players love him very much, and this will certainly motivate them to try to achieve something in his last World Cup. The Iraqi team enters the match in fourth and last place in the group, after losing to Norway 4-1 in the first round, while the French team occupies second place with 3 points, equal with Norway, the leader, after beating Senegal 3-1. The Iraqi team is looking for its first win in the tournament, after losing in the first round. A win against France would be a great victory for the team, and would enhance its chances of qualifying for the next round. The French team is considered one of the strongest in the tournament, and will face Iraq with all its might. The Iraqi team must be ready to withstand the pressure, and play with all its might to achieve the win. The team's coach is working hard to prepare the players for the match, and the players are determined to do their best. The match against France will be a difficult one, but the Iraqi team is ready for the challenge.
