So really can France really defend their world cup, which they won in Russia in 2018?
But I strongly doubt it.as we look into the history of the world cup only Brazil have defended their world cup. Back in the Pele era 1958/ 1962.
And if you look closely at the world cup records reigning champions have been conked-out early
only Argentina under Diego Maradona reached the 1990 world cup in Italy, losing out to West Germany in the final.
France may look very strong on paper, but let me remind you what happened to France in 2002?
France the then reigning champion were knocked out in the group stages failing to score a single goal.
And they had players like Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet, Robert Pires, Franck Ribery,, Samir Nasri and Zinedine Zidane as well.
