France see off Iraq, advance to World Cup knockout stage

France secured a place in the World Cup knockout phase with a game to spare as Kylian Mbappe marked his 100th international appearance with two goals in a 3-0 victory over Iraq in Philadelphia.

Ousmane Dembele also found the net for the two-time world champions as Didier Deschamps’ men made it back-to-back wins in Group I.

Earlier, the game was delayed after the first half due to severe weather conditions in Philadelphia.
