The coach of Les Bleues announced that all his players had trained on Thursday and that ” the whole mode will be ready for tomorrow’s game in front of the 50,000 fans at Melbourne Stadium.

Bacha essential
Bacha, she is essential in the team, on the left wing of the 4-4-2 tricolor. The young OL full-back (22) is one of the rare players capable of making the difference on her own by hitting the ball with her foot.
