National Soccer team of France

I don't know that much about soccer but i am interesting in following FIFA to learn more about soccer and more about their nationality. I am really hoping that France wins FIFA and that I get a chance to talk to one of the French team's players because that would be an amazing experience. I researched the France national team and this is what I found.

FIFA was created in Paris and held its first competition in 1906 but it was not very successful. The FIFA world cup first started in 1930. FIFA has 208 member associations.The national team for France was created around 1904 which is the same time a the creation of FIFA. They played their first game against Belgium. France is sometime referred to as Les Bleus which means The Blues. The team can be also called Les Tricolores because of the teams red, white, and blue color. This is because the team has an all blue shirt that they wear. Their rival team is Italy, which first started in 1910. They are one of the leading international football teams and have competed in 18 world cups and have won two of the world cups. France really started to get good in the 1990s because of their new player named Zinedine Zidane who also had the famous head-butting incident while playing Italy. France's national stadium is called the Stade de France and it is located in Saint-Denis, which is a suburb of Paris. They play most of their major home games here.
