By overthrowing Croatia at the Stade de France (2-0, 5 -4 TAB) after a completely failed first round (0-2),
The French team achieved its major objective during this international truce: to win a ticket for Final 4 of the League of Nations.
But the Blues still draw up a contrasting assessment of this first stage of the year. The reverse conceded in Croatian lands was a recall bite for a selection in reconstruction.
The France team has major objectives for the future.
In addition to the League of Nations, the French team also had first place in the FIFA ranking in its viewfinder: it is missed. Worse, the Blues even fell with a row.
An even more exciting France-Spain next June
The updated version of the classification was communicated by FIFA. If Argentina remains in the lead after its two successes against Uruguay (1-0) and Brazil (4-1), Spain is now ahead of the French team, which is on the third step of the podium.
The shock between the Blues and La Roja will therefore be exciting in more than one title, next June. In addition to a final of the League of Nations to be reached and a revenge to take, Didier Deschamps and his men could exceed the European champions to recover their second place in the FIFA ranking.
