5:46 p.m.:
Hello family, we meet quietly in Egypt where the Blues have started their warm-up in an intimate atmosphere, Covid obliges.
A match where the France team has everything to lose and nothing to gain, literally.
Well launched by their unexpected inaugural victory against Norway, the Blues should in theory roll on Austria and add up the points for the future.
A problem on the way?
The Austrians, programmed to aim for the second round, came up against the Swiss barely out of the plane.
If they lose tonight (that's all we want them to), they will undoubtedly end up bottom of the group, which means that the French victory will count for butter.
A tricolor defeat, on the other hand, and everything would be flattered.
The joys of the regulations laid down by the International Federation of this beautiful sport.
In short, the Blues can only control their terrain, we count on them not to tumble from a height.
The defense of Fabregas, the stops by Pardin, the arrows of Mahé, we want the children the same as the other day!
