Since Brazil in 1962, no global champion has won two World Cups in a succession. France, on the other hand, has qualified for the tournament’s quarter-finals after winning the previous edition. Les Blues are regarded one of the favourites to win the World Cup, which means they might become the first team since Pele’s Brazil to win two World Cups in a row. Another curse is that the winner of the Ballon d’Or almost never wins the World Cup. Karim Benzema will be unable to assist France in breaking their curse due to injury.

Since 2002, when Ronaldo Nazario’s Brazil defeated Germany in the final, no South American team has won the championship. The next four World Cups were won by Italy, Spain, Germany, and France, and Argentina will be called upon to try to break the South American teams’ curse this year, after favourites Brazil were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Croatia.
