00:00Previewing every single World Cup group ahead of the tournament this summer, Group I, Group
00:04of Death Alert, France, Senegal, Iraq and Norway. Wow. France are the team to watch this tournament.
00:10Champions in 2018 and runners-up in 2022, their squad dynamic is fascinating. Mbappe is already
00:16a bona fide World Cup legend, but a turbulent club season means he has a lot to prove this
00:20summer. The ridiculous level of attacking talent he has to support him should help,
00:24but midfield instability means this team is not quite as unstoppable as it may look on paper.
00:29It's Deschamps' last dance as France manager and he will want to go out with a bang.
00:33Senegal will be motivated. After being stripped of their AFCON win earlier this year,
00:38this outstanding crop of talent will be desperate to right some wrongs. They battered England this
00:43time last year and their squad is littered with familiar faces, including a frightening front
00:47four of Ilymeninjai, Nicolas Jackson, Ismail Assar and Sadio Mane. Iraq will be cursing their luck
00:53that they ended up in this group. They had a gruelling qualifying campaign that lasted three
00:58years and consisted of 21 games, as well as countless disrupted away trips due to international
01:03conflict. But hey, they made it. Go and enjoy it, lads.
01:06Norway are good. Very good. They won eight out of eight in qualifying, beat Italy 7-1 on aggregate
01:12throughout it, whacked 11 goals past Moldova in one game and have some brilliant attacking depth.
01:18Outside of the obvious Haaland and Odegaard, Oskar Bobb and Antonio Nusa on the wings,
01:22with Jorgenstrand Larsson and Alexander Soloth raring to go off the bench, gives them one of
01:26the best forward lines in the entire competition. One player to watch from each team, Michael Elisse
01:30of France, Lamin Kamara of Senegal, Eamon Hussain of Iraq and, of course, Erling Haaland of Norway.
