France Achieves Three Group Stage Wins for First Time Since 1998 World Cup

France secured three wins from three group stage matches at the World Cup, dismantling Norway 4-1. This marks the first time the "Les Bleus" have achieved such a feat since the 1998 World Cup, which they hosted and ultimately won.

The French squad became only the seventh team in World Cup history to win all three of their group games while scoring 10 or more goals.

Of the previous six teams to accomplish this, only Brazil in 2002 went on to lift the trophy.

The exclusive list also includes Argentina (1930), Germany (1970), Poland (1974), Brazil (1982), and the Netherlands (2014).
