Welcome to Radio Foot with live this Thursday 4:10 p.m. UT: – EURO 2024 qualifiers: the Blues warm up at the Parc des Princes to face Ireland. Good and bad memories. Historic home of French football, France lifted its first trophy there in 1984. But the disillusionment of November 1993 against Bulgaria deprived them of the World Cup the following year.
– Take a big step towards qualifying for the German tournament. Didier Deschamps is asking his troops to make more effort to approach the future more calmly. The Hernandez brothers lined up from the start? They have already played 4 times together – can the Irish Greens, despite the absence of Evan Ferguson, the Brighton rocket, upset France? Antoine Grognet in the show.
– In this group B, the Netherlands, which has 2 matches in hand, hosts Greece. They must stock up on points against the 2nd in the standings.
• Euro 2024 qualifiers (continued), ideally placed favorites!
Portugal and England in search of flawless results (4 victories 12 points). Competition and imbalance: do Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, Malta, San Marino, small nations with large deficits, have their place in these qualifiers?
• Rugby World Cup in France
When the oval ball steals the show from the round ball! Rugby football, a common origin in the 19th century in England, a discipline divided into 2 currents: the one where you could take the ball in the hand, and the one which only allowed kicking. 2 sports that have become distinct, rugby more elitist? Football, popular and more universal? The common points: professionalism, VAR, and sometimes preparation! The staff of the French XV was, for example, inspired by Arsenal’s training methods last year.
