Ranked number one in the world, France will be looking for their third world title, and their first since 2018. Four years ago, France agonisingly lost in the final against Argentina in what many consider to be the best World Cup final ever, on penalties after a 3-3 draw after extra time. They followed that up with a semi final defeat to Spain in the European Championships two years ago. France qualified with relative ease for this year’s World Cup, winning five and drawing just once on their way to the top of Group D where they finished a full six points clear of second placed Ukraine. WIth only four goals conceded in those six games, its tough to see where their weaknesses lie for the opposition.
