Signature moment
The 2018 World Cup final in Moscow is the moment France locked in their status as a modern dynasty. They beat Croatia 4-2 in a chaotic, beautiful, slightly weird final that included an own goal, a VAR penalty, and a Pogba screamer — and somehow walked away looking completely in control of their destiny. When Mbappé scored to become only the second teenager after Pelé to net in a World Cup final, the whole world realized this wasn't a one-time thing. This was a project.
The ones to watch
- Kylian MbappéFWDThe guy who makes defenders look like they're running in sand — France's nuclear option and the face of an entire generation of football.
- Antoine GriezmannMIDThe ultimate glue player who does everything slightly unglamorous that makes the whole system actually function — and does it with a retro haircut.
- Aurélien TchouaméniMIDThe engine room enforcer who quietly controls games while everyone else is busy watching Mbappé — criminally underrated outside France.
- William SalibaDEFCool, collected, and already one of the best defenders in the world at an age where most people are still figuring out their career.
- Mike MaignanGKThe kind of goalkeeper who makes you forget goalkeeping is hard — reflexes that feel illegal and a presence that steadies the whole back line.
One email the morning of their opener. Nothing else.
