Everything you need to know about the group with reigning champions France and Australia

Reigning champions France got drawn into Group D alongside Australia, Denmark and Tunisia at the 2022 World Cup.

France were able to secure qualification to the next round within the first two games, becoming the first team to do so in the tournament. However, they almost lost the top spot with a shock loss to Tunisia.

Australia surprised everyone with their performances against Denmark and Tunisia after their crushing defeat to France in the opening game, to finish as runners-up.

Tunisia sadly failed to qualify for the Round of 16 despite beating France in their last match, however, they will go home with their heads held high.

Denmarks were considered by many to be the surprise package of the tournament, having shown excellent form beforehand. However, they didn't replicate their earlier performances and leave the World Cup winless.
