While the French team, considered among the big favorites along with Spain or Argentina, will play in Group I alongside Iraq, Norway and Senegal, the projections around this group are already starting to cause reactions. The draw places the Blues in a configuration that is a priori affordable, but with a Senegalese opponent who arouses mistrust.
Asked about this group, former AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato gave his predictions. Without giving up any surprises, he estimated that Senegal could perfectly shake up the hierarchy and thus beat France, given its recent dynamics and its successful CAN 2025. A credible hypothesis on paper, which will only find its answer on the ground, with a first verdict expected on June 16 at MetLife Stadium.
