Two matches, two victories: Didier Deschamps' men have perfectly launched their qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup. So much so that their two successes against Ukraine and Iceland at the beginning of the month, the Blues can hope to get their ticket for the US World Cup from their next two matches.
The French team will indeed welcome Azerbaijan and travel to Iceland in October and in the event of two new victories, it could already be assured of the group's first place before the last two matches in November.
In the event of qualification, France will also be certainly head of the draw programmed in early December. The different hats will indeed be made up of the FIFA ranking and second place in the Blues behind Spain will earn him in hat 1. However, vice-world champions can fear a draw of death.
Germany and Italy in hat 4?
Because if this presence in hat 1 allows it to avoid Argentina, Brazil, England, Spain or Portugal, some big names should fail in other hats. This is particularly true for Germany and Italy, in annoying posture in qualifications and which may have to go through the dam box, which will be worth transferred to hat 4 regardless of their FIFA ranking. And even if she finished in first place, Germany, only 12th in the FIFA ranking, should be satisfied with hat 2.
Likewise in hat 2, there are Morocco, semi-finalist of the last World Cup, Uruguay, Switzerland or Denmark. Finally, in hat 3, for the time of teams like Norway, Algeria or Egypt, which will not constitute a sinecure.
Thus, a group with Uruguay, Algeria and Germany would not be easy for the Blues.
