The French women’s team had scored 10 goals in their last three World Cups. Hervé Renard’s Bleues exceeded this symbolic bar in their round of 16 against Morocco on Tuesday in Australia.
If it has never managed to reach the final of the Women’s World Cup, the France team finished with the same total of 10 goals scored in its last three participations, in 2011 in Germany, 2015 in Canada and 2019 during the World Cup organized in France. A symbolic bar that Hervé Renard’s Bleues exceeded in their round of 16 against Morocco on Tuesday.
Wendie Renard and her teammates had already scored 8 goals after their first three matches in Australia, with the 0-0 against Jamaica to start, then the victories against Brazil (2-1) and Panama (6-3) to finish top of their group. Against the Moroccans, they quickly scored in the first period thanks to Kadidiatou Diani (15th), Kenza Dali (20th) and Eugénie Le Sommer (24th). Too easy.
In the event of qualification for the quarter-finals, the French will challenge Australia, one of the host countries, on Saturday in Brisbane. The French women’s team will try this time to participate in the last four of the World Cup for the 2nd time in its history after 4th place in 2011. Les Bleues then fell each time in the quarter-finals in 2015 and 2019, against Germany and the United States respectively.
This duo… 🤩
