Kylian Mbappe scored twice as France cruised to a 3-0 victory over Sweden in their World Cup round of 32 match at the New York New Jersey Stadium. France's attacking prowess was on full display, with Mbappe and Michael Olise leading the charge.

Mbappe opened the scoring in the first half, converting a pass from Ousmane Dembélé. Bradley Barcola, a player linked with Arsenal, doubled the lead with a powerful finish. Mbappe then sealed the win with a curling far-post finish in the second half, drawing level with Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot race.

The French team, now the clear favourites, will face Paraguay in the last 16 on Saturday in Philadelphia. This match could be a significant test for France, but their form suggests they are well-prepared to continue their World Cup campaign.
