After defeating Morocco for hosting the football world cup championship in France, the country prepared to host the biggest tournament on this planet. With all eyes on france to win their first world cup, the country's soccer team did not let the nation down. Defeating the giants of soccer, Brazil by 3-0 in final was no mean achievement but was a colossus task, which was achieved by some wonderful soccer played by Zinedine Zidane. Since then, the team has been through some worst world cups and has been regularly defeated in either the first round or the next one. The worse world cup was the 2010 one, after which the team dropped to an abysmal rank of 27th in the world cup. The team played the worst form of soccer, letting down the country in early stages. The current soccer team is going through a transition phase under the coach Blanc, they will have to prepare really well, before the next world cup approached and though time is on their side, the rebuilding process is not going to be easy, as other teams have already started preparation eyeing the next world cup. The other area of concern, while participating in the big game is turnovers. Turning the ball over will kill any hope your squad has of winning a title. I have been involved with a few great, mistake free squads during the basic season, only to watch them blow up during the title game. Usually, the team that has the least turnovers will win the championship.
