Held in check by Israel at the Stade de France, the Blues complicated their task in the League of Nations despite qualifying for the quarter-finals. Before facing group leaders Italy, France are three points behind and will have to make up the special goal difference if they want to finish first.

After a sad draw against Israel (0-0) this Thursday, November 14, France offered another dull performance, in addition to putting itself in a bad position with a view to first place in the group. Still dominated by Italy, Group 2 of the League of Nations is not completely sealed. If France and Italy, which the Blues will face this Sunday, are assured of being qualified for the quarter-finals, first place is not fixed. With three points behind, the Blues can still dream of the throne. Even in the event of second position, Didier Deschamps’ players would qualify thanks to the reform of the League of Nations.
