The 2024 FIFA World Cup was very quiet for the French national team. They expectedly secured their place in the elite world division, but failed to seriously fight for a place in the play-offs. Already in their opening game at the tournament they unexpectedly lost to the Kazakhs 1:3, which immediately minimised their chances of reaching the quarter-finals. After that they took it to overtime with the Latvians, but fell short in the shootout, losing 2:3. The key for the team was the battle with the Poles, in which they managed to win - 4:2, which allowed them to guarantee a place in the elite of world hockey next year, but the French will not rise above sixth place in Group B.

The German national team is the reigning world vice-champion, which is clearly not going to give up early. The Germans played an extremely pragmatic group stage of the 2024 World Cup, but they have fulfilled their main objective for this part of the tournament. They didn't hold out against the two main favourites in Group B, losing heavily to the Americans and Swedes 1:6 each, but they won all their remaining battles without much trouble. They beat the Slovaks 6:4, defeated the Latvians and Kazakhs 8:1 and 8:2, respectively, and the day before they defeated the Poles 4:2. Four confident victories allow them to sit in third place in the Group B standings.

The German national team has chosen a very clever strategy for the 2024 World Cup. The Germans didn't waste energy and emotions on matches against top teams, losing to the Americans and Swedes 1:6 each, but in all other games they demonstrate very high-quality hockey, allowing them to win four times with a total score of 26:9. That's a great statistic! The French national team is clearly not among the leaders of world hockey, and therefore a very tough encounter awaits them, as the opponents are still motivated and want to get the highest seeding for the elimination games.
