portugal
france failed to maintain that pace in subsequent tournaments. although, the team won the 2001 fifa confederations cup, france suffered a first round elimination at the 2002 world cup. one of the greatest shocks in world cup history saw france condemned to a 1–0 defeat to debutantes senegal in the opening game of the tournament. france became the second nation to be eliminated in the first round while holding the world cup crown, the first one being brazil in 1966. after the 2010, 2014, and 2018 world cups, italy, spain, and germany were also added to this list. after france finished bottom of the group, lemerre was dismissed and was replaced by jacques santini. a full strength team started out strongly at euro 2004, but they were upset in the quarter-finals by the eventual winners greece. santini resigned as coach and raymond domenech was picked as his replacement. france struggled in the early qualifiers for the 2006 world cup. this prompted domenech to persuade several past members out of international retirement to help the national team qualify, which they accomplished following a convincing 4–0 win over cyprus on the final day of qualifying. in the 2006 world cup final stages, france finished undefeated in the group stage portion and advanced all the way to the final defeating the likes of spain, brazil and portugal en route. france played italy in the final and, in part down to controversial disruptions in extra time that lead to captain zinedine zidane being sent off, failed to find a winning goal, italy winning 5–3 on penalties to be crowned world cup champions.
