French offensive performances were predictable and expected, despite the Package of the Ballon d’Or, Karim Benzema. Worn by an effective olive giroud (5 goals, against zero in 2018) and especially a stratospheric kylian mbappé (8 goals, top scorer in the tournament), the French team sent the ball 16 times to the bottom of the world . It is once again than in 1998, three more than in 2018 and as much as in 1982.
