A blockbuster showdown awaits at Boston Stadium in Foxborough as Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland face off in a Group I finale against France and Norway on June 27.

With both teams already qualified for the knockout rounds, the battle for top spot in the group takes center stage, but the real story revolves around two of the world's most feared forwards and their pursuit of goals.

Mbappe and Haaland have both scored four times in this World Cup, with Mbappe opening his campaign with a brace against Senegal and Haaland matching the Frenchman strike for strike.

In a surprising assessment, Haaland delivered a blunt verdict on the upcoming clash with France, saying 'They're probably going to win against us, they're probably going to win the whole tournament.'

Norway's historic World Cup appearance and their viral Viking celebration have added to the excitement, with Haaland enjoying the experience and the team's players and staff performing the now-famous Viking Row celebration after their win over Senegal.
