While the expansion of the World Cup to 48 teams is going to impact some of the smaller nations possibly getting out of the group, it feels unlikely it will impact which team will finish top here. Indeed, France are one of the favourites for the tournament with top UK betting sites, let alone to top World Cup Group I.
Yet that top spot isn't yet sewn up as Norway have the same number of points as the French, and they meet in a shootout for the best position for the knockouts Tuesday night. Norway have impressed in their first World Cup since 1998, while France have looked every bit one of the favourites when they have fancied playing.

The most intrigue in the final round of fixtures might come in the Senegal vs Iraq game. Senegal would have had ambitions to make it out of the group, but they have been beaten twice and know that only a big win will give them a chance of qualifying. But even that might not be enough.
The odds with most UK betting apps suggest it could be a long shot now. They topped their qualification group and are still calling themselves the African Cup of Nations champions despite the game officially being awarded to Morocco after the fact.
Even with the eight third-placed teams making it through to the round of 32, this group’s strength in depth makes it even less likely they can make it through.
