La France gagne-t-elle vraiment ses premiers matchs en coupe du monde ? Ce que disent les chiffres
France will face Senegal this Tuesday. An important match for Les Bleus. However, the French team hasn't always had a strong start to their World Cup campaigns over the last 24 years.
Proof of this is that in 2002, Les Bleus were beaten in their opening match by Senegal (0-1). The goal was scored in the 30th minute by Pape Bouba Diop, from a cross by Elhadj Diouf.
On June 13, 2006, France suffered a setback against Switzerland, who held Les Bleus, led by Zinedine Zidane nearing the end of his career, to a 0-0 draw. The same fate befell them at the 2010 World Cup, where France were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against Uruguay on June 11.
But at the 2014 World Cup, the French team made a strong start. Led by a Benzema at the peak of his powers, they thrashed Honduras 3-0.

In 2018, with Mbappé's first appearance in the World Cup, France maintained its momentum. They defeated Australia (2-1) in their opening match, a team they also thrashed (4-1) in their first match of the 2022 World Cup.
This Tuesday, Les Bleus will face Senegal in their first match of the 2026 World Cup. Will they manage to outclass the Lions? We'll find out in a few hours.
