Afternoon all! Looking forward to this one... It's the battle for first in Group C, and we'll bring you live updates throughout right here. Lovely stuff.

A record-equalling afternoon for Deschamps...

One reason for France to show off their best this afternoon is the remark made by Denmark coach Age Hareide, who last month dismissed Didier Deschamps' side as "nothing special", and how they lacked leaders.

"We talked about this between ourselves and we will want to show him that he was wrong," said midfielder Corentin Tolisso.

Hareide also criticised Paul Pogba's love for haircuts, a remark the French midfielder laughed off.

"I should have dyed my hair red. But seriously, we'll do the talking on the pitch," he said on Sunday, though Pogba will have to rely on others to do the talking, as he's on the bench!

Elsewhere, you can follow Australia v Peru below. Would get very interesting if France take the lead against Croatia. Can't imagine the Socceroos are too delighted with France's rotated team...

The Blues are torn...

No messing around from Newton.

What the psychic parrot says goes*...

Previous meetings...

France have won the last three friendly encounters between the two, but Denmark did taste victory in the 2006 World Cup group stage. A 2-0 win came courtesy of goals from Dennis Rommedahl and Jon Dahl Tomasson. Simpler times.

How we're looking in Group C...

France are two points clear of Denmark, so the fact they've made six changes is somewhat surprising, though a draw would secure top spot and also see the Danes through in second.

Poor old Peru are out, but Australia could still qualify if they win and Denmark lose - with a little bit of goal difference help too...
