The French women’s football team will face Morocco in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
New sensation in this Women’s Football World Cup with the surprise elimination of Germany, double world champion in 2003 and 2007 and last Euro finalist, hung by South Korea in the last group match this Thursday August 3 (1-1) while Morocco won at the same time against Colombia, already qualified (1-0). As a result, the Germans finished in 3rd place in this group H and left the Moroccans of Reynald Pedros to offer themselves a historic round of 16 against the French team.
Les Bleues will therefore have an appointment on August 8 at 1 p.m. near Adelaide to try to join the quarter-finals of this World Cup, a stage of the competition already reached in the last two editions in France and Canada. We now know all the posters of the round of 16 with in particular a very enticing Sweden – United States. A new competition therefore begins, without Canada, Germany and Brazil, eliminated to everyone’s surprise during this group stage. Good news for the Blue who now appear as one of the favorites of this World Cup in Australia / New Zealand.
