France has a dismal showing in the 2010 edition of the World Cup as they exited from the Group Stage without a victory. Hence they weren’t expected to light up the World Cup this time around. But as we can see now, that’s what they’ve done so far. France has one of the best attacking performance of all the teams in the World Cup. They finished at the top of their group with 2 wins and a draw during which they scored 8 goals. They then beat Nigeria 2-0 in the Last 16 to confirm their spot in the Quarter Finals. Here are some of France’s best players in all departments.
Best Defender: Mathieu Debuchy
Debuchy has been a key player in the French defense. He has ably performed in his right-back role with a few impressive knocks. He has also been active in the attacking department as he’s got a total of 4 shots on goal. He has also won 75% of aerial duels he has been involved in.
Best Midfielder: Paul Pogba
The 21-year old youngster has been an important man in Les Bleus’ midfield. He has again proved his worth as to why he should be reckoned with and why he is one the best up and coming player who can make it big.
Best Forward: Karim Benzema
The 6 foot 2 inch forward has been rocking in his debut World Cup having played for France in two Euro Championships. He has been in spectacular form for his club and has carried the same for his nation. He has been hugely influential in front of the goal.
