Yes, the French aren't too popular just now, are they? On a serious note - perhaps inappropriate - this list carefully omits French victories, and they did have quite a few back when they were in the Great Power game. Louis XIV and Napoleon both had good runs for a while. Louis XIV ran eight major campaigns and won the first seven of them. Mentioning only the War of Spanish Succession and Waterloo is scarcely fair. And France did win WWI, even if it needed America to apply the coup de grace.
