Start spreading the news!

Sweden is leaving today, but France has demonstrated they really want to be a part of it: the New York New Jersey Stadium for the final on July 19, that is!

Les Bleus cruise into the Round of 16, where they'll play Paraguay in Philadelphia on Sunday, following a statement 3-0 victory.

Despite a positive start from Potter's side, it was eventually a dominant display from the two-time world champions, who registered an xG of 3.17 to their opponents' 0.67.

Mbappe had a goal ruled out for offside, while Olise's wonderful acrobatic attempt was hugely unfortunate to hit the post.

However, Mbappe broke the deadlock just before halftime, firing home after a neatly worked short corner.

Barcola latched onto Olise's throughball and clinically finished to make it 2-0 early in the second half.

Olise was involved again as Deschamps' side put the contest to bed 16 minutes from time.

The Bayern Munich playmaker threaded the eye of a needle to release Mbappe, who subsequently swept into the far corner for his 18th World Cup goal — and sixth of this tournament, moving him level with Messi.

France marches onto the Round of 16, while Sweden bows out after suffering their earliest elimination since 1990.

Nevertheless, Potter's men may well have taken reaching the knockout stages when they finished bottom of their qualifying group all those months ago.

Thanks for joining us today.

Until next time, goodbye!

FULL-TIME!

France is just going through the motions now, closing in on a historic seventh straight World Cup win against European opposition.

Tougher tests surely await, but Les Bleus mean business this year.

What a performance!
