It was a World Cup campaign to remember for France, at least until the final. And then it was a memorable occasion, even if they came out on the wrong side of the scoreline against Lionel Messi's Argentina.
The French breezed through their group, able to lose to Tunisia in the final match as they had already qualified. They then went on to see off Poland, England and Morocco before that penalty shootout drama against Argentina.
One of the teams they beat on their route to the final was Australia, who against the odds joined them in qualifying from the group stages.
