12:25 – France beats Argentina without fully reassuring itself (28-21)
With their backs to the wall after three unsuccessful matches (two defeats and a draw), the Blues have finally found the path to victory. Argentina was unable to resist the Blues’ awakening (28-21). Gille’s gang will be able to warmly thank goalkeepers Gérard (12/20) and Desbonnet (6/19). The former allowed a cannon start to the match (7-0, 10th). The attack was again particularly sluggish, especially in the second half where France did not score for eight minutes: Mem (3/8) and Prandi (5/9), who are the offensive leaders, were unable to gain confidence against the weakest opponent in the group. On August 4, at 4:00 p.m., France will play Hungary in a decisive match for qualification to the quarter-finals of the JO 2024. At least a draw will be required.
