Israel is a very specific and rather paradoxical national team, and getting into the A League was a fluke. The Blue and Whites managed to beat the modest national teams of Iceland and Albania, and Russia was disqualified. That’s how the team got promoted, but it’s clear that they will be back soon. The overall level of the squad is absolutely unfit to play in the Nations League top division. Most of the players represent the local championship or rather modest championships.
France is traditionally considered one of the main favorites of any tournament. One of the main advantages of the French national team is an incredibly strong squad. Almost every position here is a top-class footballer, and to replace him is ready no less cool performer. On paper, the French are the team with almost no weaknesses. When the team is in shape, it is almost impossible to stop them.
