How to watch FIFA World Cup games today
Watch Ivory Coast vs. Norway
Norway’s superstar striker Erling Haaland was benched for their last game, but he’ll be back in full force for this Round of 32 match. Haaland’s powerful presence means Norway are as good as they’ve ever been, but Ivory Coast are one of those teams that can sting anyone unexpectedly
Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage
Watch France vs. Sweden
France have looked better than any team in the tournament so far, even when they took their foot off the gas in the last group game against Norway — a patchy effort that still saw them win 4-1. Sweden could prove tricky competition though. They have major firepower in Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres and determination to overcome their 5-1 loss to Netherlands
