The reigning FIFA World Champions are ranked second in the FIFA Rankings and only by a tiny margin. The France National Team was exceptional in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. They saw off challenges from Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium to reach the final, where they demolished a strong Croatian side to lift the title.
Les Bleus were defeated just twice in the whole of 2018 and won 12 of the 18 games played, drawing the other 4. They had a decent performance in the UEFA Nations League as well, but Netherlands topped the group by virtue of a better goal difference and as such, the world champions could not progress to the semi final of the tournament.
Since the World Cup, France has defeated Germany and Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League and Uruguay in a friendly. However they are unlucky to be just a point behind the team at the top of the pile. They next face Moldova on Friday and Iceland on Monday in the UEFA Euro Qualifiers.
