They will be the least loved in the River Plate. The French National Team defeated Uruguay (2-0) and eliminated them from the Russia 2018 World Cup in the quarterfinals, something they had already done with Argentina in the round of 16 of the same tournament.
In addition, they became the first team to eliminate the River Plate countries in the same edition of a World Cup. This was confirmed by Mister Chip, who also highlighted that France will have their sixth presence in the semifinals of the tournament.
#URU 0-2 #FRA (FT) #Rusia2018 - France is the first team in the ENTIRE history of football to defeat Argentina and Uruguay in the knockout stage of the same World Cup. This will be their SIXTH semifinal (1958, 1982, 1986, 1998, 2006, and 2018).

The French National Team also defeated Peru in the group stage of the Russia 2018, completing their 'South American World Tour' with perfect numbers.
The Europeans could face another South American team in the semifinals, but for that to happen, Brazil will have to defeat Belgium. With this, the team led by Didier Deschamps would have faced all the South American qualifiers (they lost 3-2 to Colombia in a friendly) in their World Cup journey.
The French National Team has been improving their level with each match and that is why they have become the most solid team in the tournament.
