That’s it, it’s the big day, that of the first World Cup knockout match for the French women’s team. After having rather mastered their subject during the group stage, Hervé Renard’s players will seriously have to be wary of a selection from Morocco that almost no one imagined in the round of 16 of their first World Cup, and especially not after the inaugural tartasse against Germany (0-6). But the group of Reynald Pedros proved that it clearly had its place in Adelaide by overcoming South Korea (1-0) and Colombia (1-0). The Moroccan course is simply stunning, just like that of the boys in Qatar eight months earlier, until the semi-finals, again of course against the Blues (2-0).
We feel that we are going to vibrate, as this match is special for many people, starting with the Franco-Moroccan Sakina Karchaoui, the two coaches Hervé Renard (ex-coach of Morocco at the 2018 World Cup in Russia) and Reynald Pedros ( 25 selections with the France team and double winner of the Women’s Champions League as OL coach). And we pass you the few binationals present among the Lionesses of the Atlas and who evolve in French D1 and D2. Yes, this shock is full of great stories, so come and treat yourself here. See you soon!
