The most highly anticipated clashes of the 2026 World Cup have not let fans down, and there's a feeling that something truly memorable could unfold when France faces off against Senegal on Tuesday.
While Les Bleus rank among the tournament favorites this summer, Group I presents a genuine challenge. Senegal is a formidable side and arguably the continent's best, regardless of whether Aliou Cissé's squad is ultimately reinstated as Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champions by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
There is a deep history between these two nations that goes well beyond the remarkable upset of 2002, with Senegal having been under French rule for over 300 years before the West African country achieved independence in 1960.
The current Lions of Teranga will be hungry to replicate the heroics of the previous generation from 24 years ago, but they face a monumental task against a star-laden French squad whose attacking options could rival the Harlem Globetrotters.
Here's how you can follow Tuesday's action at MetLife Stadium, the venue set to host the World Cup final.
