Up To Date FIFA World Cup Power Rankings

Germany World Cup

6. France

Once upon a time, France was my favorite to win it all. The French pulled off a decent World Cup; better than they expected. Four years ago they didn’t make it out of the group stages, so this is definitely a big step forward. Their offense was dominant, but their defense was the biggest surprise. They conceded only three goals in five games, an outstanding achievement.
