Other strong teams such as Brazil, Holland, England, etc. , the grouping situation is ok. Even if Germany and Spain meet in the group stage, the other two teams in the same group are weak, which greatly reduces the difficulty of qualifying.
France, of course.
The grouping situation in France is also optimistic. Tunisia in the same group obviously cannot pose a threat to the French. In addition, no matter Australia, United Arab Emirates or Peru, the play-offs are no match for France. Moreover, Australia and Peru were both group opponents of France in the last World Cup, when France easily defeated these two teams.
And France's third opponent is Denmark.
Denmark is not weak, and reached the semi-finals in the European Cup last year. However, compared with France, Denmark's strength is even worse. It is worth mentioning that Denmark was also a group opponent of France in the last World Cup.
In fact, it is definitely a good sign for France to draw in Denmark. In the last World Cup, France won the championship and Denmark entered the competition. Not only that, in fact, throughout history, no matter whether it is the World Cup or the European Cup, as long as France and Denmark are in a group, basically something good will happen, and the so-called good thing is of course winning the championship.
France 1984 won the European Cup, which is also the first champion in French history. At that time, France and Denmark were in the same group, and France 1: 0 defeated Denmark.
In the 2000 European Cup, France won the championship again. This time they met Denmark in the group stage, and finally France won 3-0 easily.
We will watch the World Cup again. 198 world cup, France won the championship at home, but they beat Denmark 2: 1 in the group stage. 20 18 World Cup, France reached the summit for the second time, and the group match drew 0-0 with Denmark.
It can be said that Denmark is the lucky star of France. As long as Denmark is in the group, France has good things.
Of course, there is a premise here.
Looking at the previous four examples, we can find a problem, that is, France and Denmark have never lost in four wars, with a record of 3 wins and a 1 draw. Therefore, the prerequisite for France and Denmark to win the championship in the same group is that they cannot lose to Denmark.
There are actually negative examples in this respect. In the 2002 World Cup, France and Denmark were also placed in the same group. However, in this World Cup, France lost face and was eliminated by the group as the defending champion, which opened the curse of the defending champion group in the new century.
France lost 2-0 to Denmark in the group match. This is also the first time that they lost to an opponent in the same group as Denmark, and it is also the only time so far.
So the premise mentioned above is crucial.
Therefore, the fate of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and France, the most crucial battle, may be their group match against Denmark. Then we can focus on the game. If France wins or draws, they may really expect to be crowned champions again; But if they lose, it is not ruled out that they may be hit again by the curse of the defending champion group's exit.
Well, let's wait and see.
