The French have been following a series of rituals since the beginning of the World Cup.

The French have been following a series of rituals since the beginning of the World Cup.

France's Unbeaten Streak in World Cup

No fails. France's national team hasn't lost a single game since the start of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. They defeated Australia and Peru, and drew 0-0 against Denmark in Group C. According to their followers, it's all thanks to the superstitions that coach Deschamps and the team have been following.

1. Special Guest in Team Conferences

As it is known, every participating team in the World Cup must hold press conferences during the week. The French team, known as the 'Blues', always have one of their players, Hugo Lloris, attend the press conference after the coach speaks. Lloris is the goalkeeper of the team.

2. Uniforms Never Repeat

Since their first game, the French team never wears the same uniform. There's always a change, from the color of the socks to the shorts and shirts that the players wear. The Europeans always find a way to combine their attire.

Is it a superstition?

In the six matches that the finalist France has played in this World Cup, they haven't repeated their uniform combinations (shirt, shorts, and socks).

3. Changes in the Team

Although it may seem absurd, changes in the French team have also been successful. In the first 5 matches of the French, they have always made the popular change of one striker for another, specifically Antoine Griezmann with Nabil Fekir. It's worth mentioning that in the last semi-final match against Belgium, they couldn't follow this superstition due to Matuidi's injury. Will it affect them?

4. Adil Rami's Luck

Unbelievably, Adil Rami's beard brings luck to the French team. The defender is one of the funniest and happiest players in the team. After each victory or good result, some of his teammates have approached him to touch and even fix his beard.
