It was a false start for France after losing 2-1 to Ivory Coast in their first warm-up match before the World Cup. While Rayan Cherki put on a show, France lost control in the second half, allowing the Elephants to come back and take the lead, notably thanks to an outstanding performance from Guéla Doué.
In England, Liverpool officially appointed Andoni Iraola as head coach. The Spaniard replaces Arne Slot, who was fired on May 30.
