Les Bleues are clearly gaining momentum in this Women’s World Cup! Hervé Renard is no longer very far from winning his bet. He took the reins of the France team shortly before the international competition. And for the moment, the tricolor selection is making a strong impression. Despite a first score of parity against Jamaica (0-0), France then beat Brazil (2-1) and Panama (3-6) to ensure the head of group F. And for the round of 16 , Les Bleues did not disappoint by winning very easily against Morocco (4-0). Now it’s a very big test for Kadidiatou Diani’s teammates at the gates of the last four. They will find the host country, this Saturday at 9:00 a.m.: Australia. The latter had also beaten France during the preparation (1-0). She was able to finish at the top of group B, despite losing to Nigeria (2-3), winning against Ireland (1-0) and Canada (0-4). Tony Gustavsson’s team managed to beat Denmark at the start of the knockout stages (2-0). However, she could only count on Sam Kerr, her star player, for 10 minutes. Forfeited at the start of the tournament, she has just returned to competition in the round of 16. No doubt she will have more playing time in the quarter-finals. However, it is difficult to imagine him regaining his best level so quickly. A situation that could make the Blues happy and allow them to join the next round.
