Obviously, the French team is not at all there. While the 2026 World Cup qualifiers are already well started on the four corners of the planet, the Blues have still not started their qualifying campaign, one year from the tournament co-organized by Canada, the United States and Mexico. Kylian Mbappé and his teammates will face Ukraine, Iceland and Azerbaijan twice during the next international windows in September, October and November.
In the event of qualification this fall (the first 12 of the UEFA zone are qualified directly), France vice-champion of the world in reigning knows that it will appear in the head of the heads in the company of 11 other national teams (including the three host countries). This will allow him to avoid the other favorites of the World Cup in the image of Argentina of Lionel Messi (already qualified), Spain of Lamine Yamal, England of Jude Bellingham or Brazil taken up by Carlo Ancelotti.
The results of the international window in early June made the FIFA world ranking move, which will be officially updated by the body on July 10 but which is already calculated by the account X Football meets data. It is thus possible to project the four hats of 12 teams from the draw which will take place next December.
France would avoid Germany, not Italy
Portugal of Cristiano Ronaldo, winner of the League of Nations against Spain, comforts his 9th place in the FIFA ranking and therefore potentially his potential head of seeded. Germany has not lost points despite its two home losses against the Lusitanian Seleçao and then the French team. The Mannschaft takes the opportunity to leave hat 2 to climb among the heads of production thanks to the very bad situation of Italy in its qualifying group (after its defeat against Norway).
The Nazionale is now projected in the European playoff dams and would then become a possible team of hat 4 (the play -offs competing in March 2026). If the situation is not turned upside down, the French team will therefore not be able to fall on Germany during the group phase of the World Cup 26, but could inherit Italy, in addition to the beautiful teams of hats 2 and 3 like Morocco, Norway of Erling Haaland, Uruguay, Switzerland, Senegal, Denmark or Algeria.
