As in the men’s semi-final, the round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup will pit Morocco against France.
France will begin a whole new competition on Tuesday August 8 with the kick-off of the final stages. While we were waiting for a revenge between Germany and France, it is Morocco of Reynald Pedros who presents himself against the Bleues d’Herve Renard. Victorious over Colombia, the Moroccans took advantage of Germany’s misstep against Korea to secure 2nd place and secure a historic round of 16 against France. “We have just achieved a feat over three games, now these are cleaver matches, knockout, everything is possible. I know this French team perfectly, it’s an advantage, it’s a very strong team, with players with a lot of experience, of a very high level. It will be a very difficult match but if we have the same state of mind as today we can hope to qualify and we will do everything to qualify” explained the coach and former OL coach.
For France, it will be necessary to raise its level of play. After a sluggish first match against Jamaica, a benchmark match against Brazil, Les Bleues did not show a very good face in the last match of the phase. of hens against Panama (6-3). Hervé Renard was also quite upset after the performance of his players. In the round of 16, we must not miss it. With the elimination of Canada, Germany and Brazil, Les Bleues are now considered as contenders for the title, but the road is still very long, especially with teams like Norway and the United States.
