World Cup Updates: Denmark, Australia and Tunisia Jostle for a Spot With France

France is already through to the knockouts, a fact that is clear in the team sent out by its coach, Didier Deschamps. He has made seven changes from the lineup that started France’s last game, a win over Denmark.

Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Adrien Rabiot and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris are among those on the bench today, resting for the knockouts.

That presents a weaker (if only slightly; this is France, after all) opponent for Tunisia, which needs to win to have any chance of advancing. But Tunisia has made six changes of its own, so it will have a different look, too.
