After a 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in their opening game, Spain have won six, scored 13 via seven different players, and conceded one. Spain also stumbled in their 2010 opener before going on to win the tournament, as did Argentina in 2022, so there is something to be said for the 'peaking' model. Meanwhile, France boss Didier Deschamps has questioned whether the refereeing in the match was 'up to the standard required'. People are giving him short shrift - Les Bleus had nothing on their opponents and, if anything, were lucky that Michael Olise wasn't sent off for a rash challenge on Rodri. Deschamps, who won the 2018 World Cup with France, has taken charge of the last match of his 14-year tenure and is reportedly set to be replaced by Zinedine Zidane. Bad news Arsenal fans - William Saliba is injured. He came off in the first half and was replaced by Crystal Palace's Maxence Lacroix. French journalist Julien Laurens, who is typically reliable, reported that Saliba said: 'My back is gone, my back is gone.' Finally, in his press conference, Thomas Tuchel insisted he can lead England to World Cup glory despite his unimpressive playing career, quipping: 'You don't have to be a horse to be a good jockey!' He also made clear that he and Jude Bellingham are on good terms after the furore around their recent post-match comments.
