France's Stunning Transformation: From Boredom to Goal Avalanche

France's national team has scored 10 goals in the group stage, their best total at this stage of a World Cup since 1958.

What has changed for France?

Didier Deschamps has adapted his playing system to put his players in the best possible conditions. The coach integrated Michael Olise in September 2024 to install him as number 10 and the idea of the 4-2-3-1 was born.

Michael Olise's role

Olise has transformed France's game, with players like Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé each scoring 4 goals. The shift towards the front dates back to the victory against Croatia in March 2025.

Upcoming matches

France is currently on a 3-game winning streak, with a record of 4W-0D-1L in their last 5 games. Last result: France 3-0 Iraq on June 22, 2026
