In the wake of the elimination of the France team against Australia, in the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup (0-0, 7-6 on tab), Pierre Ménès launched an appeal.

Les Bleues ended their World Cup prematurely as they had started it, that is to say without managing to score the slightest goal in the game. Beaten on Saturday by Australia in the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup, the daughters of Hervé Renard were forced to compete in a penalty shootout which did not smile on them. For some, the Blues lacked attacking qualities, despite the presence of Kadidiatou Diani and Eugénie Le Sommer. And to appeal to an absent one.

Just after the quarter-final lost by the French, Pierre Ménès jumped on his keyboard to briefly comment on the result. ” As always and as announced, Les Bleues are eliminated without scoring a goal. A recurring weak point. Long live Katoto. Injured and too fair to join the group formed by Hervé Renard just before the world competition, the Paris Saint-Germain striker will return in the coming weeks with the help of France, with the 2024 Olympic Games in sight.

Diani top scorer tricolor

During the 2023 World Cup, France scored twelve goals in five games, but spread over only three games as the Habs remained silent against Jamaica and Australia. Kadidiatou Diani was the most prolific with four goals (including a hat-trick against Panama), followed by Eugénie Le Sommer (3). Vicki Becho, Kenza Dali, Léa Le Garrec, Wendie Renard and Mäelle Lakrar each scored a goal.
