Born in France, in fact, France's influence on this World Cup

World Cup is staggering.

Nearly 100 players born in France are going to feature in the finals, 75 of them representing other nations.

That means around 8% of every player at the tournament was born in France.

But Illiman and Jaip representing Senegal, they are, I think, Stephen, in a tough group then.

Formidable sides in France and Norway, potentially tricky game against Iraq.

And it starts with a repeat of that shock, 2002 opener against the French.

Then they're going to have to stop the goal machine Erling Haaland.

So lots of work for them.

Yeah.

And if they are to win the World Cup, though, I haven't plotted it all the way through, Gabby.

There's a lot to get through.

There's a lot of detail in the draw, but it would obviously potentially mean a harder match in the round of 32.

So if we're talking about World Cup winners, does Senegal have to be in the top two?

Do they have to be looking to top the group even?

So Morocco and Senegal then, perhaps Africa's best hopes.

But let's continue down the FIFA rankings where Algeria are in Group J, just to say all the African nations are in different groups, which is how the draw was made.

So Algeria up against the reigning champions, Argentina, also Austria and Jordan.

capable of making it difficult.

I think it's safe to say, Stephen, for any opponent there, technical attackers, we mentioned Riyad Mahrez continuing to bring that creativity in his experience.
