Selection of France: How did it go in the finals that you played in the World Cup?

France he does not get tired nor will he get tired of stalking glory. Didier Deschamps has already managed to place this team at the top of the world four years ago, but not satisfied with that, the French coach wants to repeat the dish in Qatar 2022. And he is quite close to doing so.

The two-time championship is the ambitious goal of the French team and for this, they first had to prevail against the sensation of the World Cup: Morocco. The African team made things quite difficult for them this afternoon, but the current tournament champion was able to prevail with hierarchy (2-0) to qualify for the fourth final in their history.

Although the Frenchmen have always been positioned among the best in the World Cup, historically, They have only disputed three definitions of the title. The first was precisely in France 98 ‘, nothing more and nothing less than as hosts.

Led by Thierry Henry, Zinedine Zidane and Deschamps (the captain and now coach), this team managed to prevail 3-0 against the fearsome Brazil of Cafu, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and more stars to lift their first World Cup trophy.

Eight years later, at Germany 2006, France met in a new final against none other than Italy, an electrifying duel in which Zinedine Zidane was sent off for a headbutt on Materazzi. Unfortunately, that time they had to lose via penalties (5-3) after a 1-1 draw in regulation time and overtime.

Then, it took 12 more years for the French to return to dispute the title in the last instance. In Russia 2018, with a promising youngster like Kylian Mbappé and figures like Griezmann, Pogba, Giroud, among others, the French team tasted glory again, after defeating Croatia 4-2 in the final.

Now, with almost the same protagonists as four years ago, France has managed to position itself in a new final in Qatar 2022. Didier Deschamps’ men reaffirmed their world dominance by overcoming Morocco and now Argentina awaits them in the definition of the title more desired. Whether it wins the two-time championship or not, this team is already enrolled in football history.
