- Morocco are a serious test (they beat Canada in 2022) with match-winners like Achraf Hakimi and hot forward Ismael Saibari.
- France, heavy favorites, rely on Kylian Mbappé’s red-hot scoring form (six goals) and Michael Olise’s creativity, while Paraguay’s Matías Galarza and Julio Enciso can hurt them on the break.
