As defending Champs, France surprisingly didn't manage to score a single goal, even though they had the services of 2 of the hottest strikers in Europe to call upon.

5. Which team won the group that Italy, one of the fancied teams of the tournament, were in?

Answer: Mexico

They did manage to scrape through in 2nd place though and earn themselves a match with co-hosts South Korea, which they lost 2-1 to a golden goal!
