France is outscoring opponents 14-2 so far this tournament, and all three of its superstars — Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise — have already made their marks.
Morocco is next for France in the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Argentina narrowly avoided one of the biggest upsets in tournament history on Friday against Cape Verde.
Entering the match, Cape Verde was ranked 67th in the FIFA World Rankings, while Argentina sat first.
The 66-place gap would have been the biggest knockout-stage upset by FIFA ranking since the rankings were introduced.
Argentina will face Egypt on Tuesday in the Round of 16.
Potential Paths: In a bracket-style tournament like the World Cup, some of it comes down to who you are and some of it comes down to who you face.
Assuming it continues its dominance, France's path to the semifinals would require a win over Morocco.
It opened as a -390 favorite for that quarterfinal tilt.
For Argentina, for it to make it to the semifinals, it would now need to beat Egypt, and then the winner of Switzerland vs.
Argentina will be favored heavily in any of those potential matches as well.
In terms of the USA, after its Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, it will need wins over Belgium and potentially Spain to make the semis, where it would presumably face France.
