What are the weaknesses of the French national team?

With their string of victories, are Les Bleus a perfect team, with "no weak points"? In reality, finding weaknesses in the French team is incredibly difficult. However, it's not impossible.

Playing simply, gracefully, beautifully, and impressively – that's the French national team. At the 2026 World Cup, Les Bleus have posed a threat from all sides. In total, France has scored 13 goals and conceded only 2 in their four matches so far. This is a performance that demonstrates tremendous attacking power and a solid defense. Therefore, finding France's weaknesses at this moment is an enormous challenge. But, nobody is perfect, and neither is France.

To date, the first half of their opening match against Senegal is considered the worst performance Les Bleus have given at this World Cup . Stuck in a stalemate for the first 45 minutes against an opponent considered inferior, the French superstars failed to score a single goal. Meanwhile, coach Didier Deschamps struggled with his four-man attacking line-up for reasons only he understands.

The French team's weakness lies in the full-back positions. Right-back Jules Koundé, despite his numerous assists at Barcelona, ​​is quite limited in attack and can hardly be compared to Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi. On the left flank, Lucas Digne, while capable, gives the impression of being just an average player. Especially when facing a team with a high-pressing and aggressive style of play, the French team tends to become disoriented and lose direction.

Fortunately, very few teams dare to test Les Bleus' ability to counter pressing. Because, when they push their formation high up the pitch, it leaves a lot of space behind, and no one wants to race against Mbappe!

Perhaps France's biggest weakness is France itself! Therefore, anyone who wants to defeat France must play better than them, not exploit their weaknesses.

France's victory over Sweden in the round of 16 is considered their best performance to date at the 2026 World Cup. Speaking after the match, Sweden's coach, Graham Potter, admitted: "This is football, anything can happen... but personally I've never seen a better team."
