France will play in the World Cup semi-finals for the eighth time in its history, after their 2-0 win against Morocco this Thursday. The Blues thus join Brazil (8 appearances) and remain behind Germany, which holds the record with 12 qualifications to the final four.

The French team also joins a very exclusive club: they become the third team in history to reach the semi-finals in three consecutive World Cups, after Germany (1982, 1986, 1990 and 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014) and Brazil (1994, 1998, 2002).
