France makes World Cup history with dominant win over Sweden

Kylian Mbappé and France continue to look like one of the most dominant teams in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

On Tuesday, France beat Sweden 3-0 in the Round of 32 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Mbappe had two more goals, giving him a total of six through four games.

And, France made World Cup history by becoming the first team to win three straight games by three or more goals, according to Greg Harvey of OptaStats.

Here is what France has done thus far in the World Cup:

• 3-1 win over Senegal
• 3-0 win over Iraq
• 4-1 win over Norway
• 3-0 win over Sweden

The 3-0 victory is the largest knockout-stage win since 1998, the year France won the World Cup final as the host country.

Mbappé’s second goal of the match, which was the third for his team, puts the star Frenchman one goal behind the record held by Argentina star Lionel Messi.
