France's 2-0 victory over Morocco in the 2022 FIFA World Cup semifinal on December 14, 2022, highlighted their strength as a dominant force in the tournament. Former England striker Ian Wright described Didier Deschamps' side as 'one of the most clear favourites for a World Cup tournament I have ever seen' before the match.
The French team, led by Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, controlled the game with a solid defense and efficient attack. Goals from Theo Hernández and Randal Kolo Muani secured their place in the final against Argentina.
This performance underscored France's potential to be considered among the greatest Les Bleus squads, following their 2018 World Cup win. However, the final on December 18, 2022, ended in a penalty shootout loss to Argentina, preventing them from achieving back-to-back titles.
