Morocco, Portugal and Spain… Who can beat the French monster?

Since the start of the 2026 World Cup, it seemed that France was not participating in the tournament like the rest of the competitors, but was imposing a completely different pace. Every game the Roosters play increases the belief of fans and analysts that Didier Deschamps’ side are the closest to the title, not only because of the results but also the way they obliterate their opponents, to the point where the Spanish press began to describe it as:“Monster of the World Cup”.

But the road to the third consecutive final will not be paved with roses. After progressing to the round of 32, France face a road that could pit them against Morocco in the quarter-finals, then Portugal or Spain in the semi-finals, and they are teams with the quality, experience and personality to threaten the Roosters’ dreams of reaching the finals.
