They pretty much were the best team in the tournament, if anything I think only the Belgians could have really gone toe-to-toe with the French despite that game being somewhat underwhelming.

In the World Cup with 48 teams France should be forced to field: 'Actual France' and 'Colonial France.'

I think I know which team would be better....
This would ruin one of my favorite things about the WC though; for this one month these countries all cheer on their immigrants! A large portion of the French team hails from elsewhere, and certainly some of their better players. It's rampant through a number of the European clubs, and whether you like that or not, it's at least amusing that many people who hate immigrants from Africa the other 47 months in a 4 year cycle at least end up cheering for them for one!

Where's Tony Adams when you need him? I was hoping it would be England/France just to make sure it was inevitable.
