• Teams meet in round of 32 in New York on Tuesday

• ‘We’ve been labelled as favourites … we are confident’

Didier Deschamps has warned France’s rivals that the team will not change their attacking approach to this World Cup, saying as he prepared for the last-32 tie against Sweden on Tuesday: “We have a capacity for danger, and I want us to keep it.”

The France head coach said it was “good to be busy” as he returned to the camp after time at home fol­lowing the death of his mother last week. Deschamps expressed gratitude for the support he had received from his team after his bereavement, in another sign of the tight bond among Les Bleus this summer.
