France opened its World Cup campaign with a 3-1 victory over Senegal. After a sluggish first half, Les Bleus broke the match open, scoring three second-half goals, including a brace from Kylian Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n
France carried that momentum through the rest of the group stage, defeating Iraq 3-0 and Norway 4-1 to finish atop Group I. Against Iraq, France completely dominated the match, out-shooting them 19-4 while recording 41 touches in the opposition box compared to Iraq\u2019s seven. Les Bleus followed that up with another commanding performance against Norway, scoring four goals with another 18 shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n
France has been even more dominant in the knockout stage. Didier Deschamps’ squad has yet to concede a goal, outscoring Sweden, Paraguay, and Morocco by a combined 6-0. Across those three matches, France has outshot its opponents 62-18, highlighting the level of control it has maintained throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n
So, just how dominant has France’s World Cup run been? Let’s dive into the numbers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
