According to the same network's statistics, the French team extended its winning streak in official matches to eight consecutive victories, its best since a run of 14 straight wins between September 2002 and June 2004.

Only Germany has achieved this feat more often, reaching the semifinals 12 times, while France is tied with Brazil, which also has eight semifinal appearances.
