France has just set two historic milestones. |
France became the first team to win seven consecutive matches against European opponents at the World Cup . This is a testament to the incredible consistency of the 1998 and 2018 world champions on the biggest stage on the planet.
Furthermore, France is also the first team to score at least 3 goals in 5 consecutive World Cup matches, a record that demonstrates the devastating attacking power of their offense led by star Kylian Mbappe .
This also marks the first time since the 1998 World Cup that France has won all three group stage matches in a major tournament. Notably, that was also the year they first won the world championship.
In addition to these two historic milestones, the victory against Sweden also marked the first time the French national team had defeated a Nordic opponent in a major tournament. Previously, they drew 1-1 at EURO 1992 and lost 0-2 at EURO 2012 in a match where Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sebastian Larsson were the goalscorers.
In the round of 16, France will face Paraguay, the team that recently caused a major upset by eliminating Germany on penalties. With their convincing form and a series of recently set records, Mbappe and his teammates are showing that they are strong contenders for the 2026 World Cup title.
