and honestly, France got lucky. They were outplayed and just got lucky. They will never be what they used to be, bunch of old washed up players.
Fifa doesn't give a crap if someone is coming up with a lot of talent, all they want to see in the WC is teams who've been there before and came close to winning/won because they know that generates money for them.
Truth be told they're pissed off that teams like Sweden and Russia got knocked out.
