Deschamps, in charge since 2012 and a world champion in 2018, leads the most talented generation in French football history. Mbappé at Real Madrid is the standout name. Dembélé at PSG has been consistently impressive. The loss of Camavinga through injury weakens the midfield. Group I — Senegal, Norway and Iraq — is very accessible. The key question is collective consistency: France were overly cautious at Euro 2024, scoring few goals despite their star-studded squad.
