Although there can be many differences Deschamps can line up his squad after he officially chooses the 26 men to represent the French national team. The upcoming Nation League fixtures a few months ahead will help him select players who he on the flight to Qatar. We tried to create one of the best line-ups that surely have the potential to stress out managers all around. This is defensively solid as rock as well offensively cunning lineup that is surely up for brilliant competitiveness. I urge my viewers and readers to indulge themselves in the comment sections about their thoughts on the lineups and their favourite nation that will win the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
