The French national team has set a unique record at the World Cup: Les Bleus have become the first team in tournament history to net at least three goals in five consecutive matches.
Details: In the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup, France demolished Sweden 3-0, extending their historic scoring run.

During the group stage of the current tournament, Didier Deschamps' side also consistently scored at least three times per match. France defeated Senegal 3-1, Iraq 3-0, and Norway 4-1.
This incredible streak also includes the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, where the French put three goals past Argentina - regular and extra time ended 3-3, before France ultimately lost on penalties 2-4.
No team in World Cup history had ever managed five consecutive matches with three or more goals. Now, France has set a new attacking benchmark for the tournament.
Reminder: Earlier, Kylian Mbappé scored his seventh brace at the World Cup, becoming the first player ever to achieve this feat in tournament history.
