Not just the final but to win it all.
Take the BIG 5 or the field

France is one of those teams that I think you have to knock out early. Otherwise, they'll go far.
1958 Semifinal
1982 Semifinal
1986 Semifinal
1998 Champions
2006 Final
I don't believe they have ever been knocked out after the group stage or before the semis in a world cup (if that makes any sense)
