Without fluff or effusion, the Blues are in the round of 16, even before having faced Portugal in the third match of group F. Didier Deschamps’ players have four points on the clock and given the results of groups B and C this Monday, here they are in the top 16 of the competition. Austria’s victory against Ukraine combined with Russia’s defeat against Denmark on the evening already valid the tricolor ticket.
With four units on the clock, the world champions will finish at least in the best four thirds of the first round. They can go higher depending on their result against the Portuguese European champions. A victory would secure them first place. A draw, the first … or the second if Germany beats Hungary.

On the other hand, Wednesday’s match will have consequences for the opponent crossed in the round of 16. If the French are first, they will cross swords with one of the best third, those of group A, B or C, respectively Switzerland, Finland, and Ukraine, Monday 28 in Bucharest. If the French finish second, they will challenge the first in Group D, either England or the Czech Republic, at Wembley on Tuesday 29.
Finally, a third place is more uncertain because of the multiple combinations. But it would potentially be the 1st in Group B, July 27 in Seville, or the Netherlands, the same day in Budapest.
