## Resource

While Argentina and Brazil have looked human, France has looked like a glitch in the simulation. The pre-tournament narrative suggested a pragmatic, almost stifling conservatism under Didier Deschamps. Instead, Les Bleus are "creating chances at will," weaponizing a 4-2-3-1 formation that feels less like a tactical setup and more like a firing squad. The integration of Michael Olise alongside Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé has given France a verticality that opponents simply cannot map.
