The 2022 World Cup campaign marked a turning point for French football, revealing the perils of relying on a single star. Ronaldo's ill-fated decision to join the squad left scars that questioned the very fabric of team unity. In the years that followed, France sought to rebuild, prioritizing player chemistry over individual brilliance, but the shadow of their World Cup collapse lingered, reminding fans of a golden opportunity lost.
France's tactics were overshadowed by ego—what a tragedy!
