It’s the big day. Thierry Henry’s French team will dive into its Olympic tournament with a first major opponent, the United States (kick-off this Wednesday at 9 p.m.). If football is not culturally considered an Olympic sport, these Paris Olympics can create a real buzz to carry the Blues to Olympic gold. A goal that is on everyone’s mind.
“The goal? It’s gold, and only gold, launched midfielder Manu Koné,
in the same tone as his teammate Castello Lukeba. Now it’s good to talk, but we have to show on the pitch. We know what we’re capable of, we’re ambitious and we have an ambitious coach.” The stage is set.
The expected compositions
France : Remains – Sildillia, Lukeba, Badé, Truffert – Millot, Koné, Chotard – Olise – Lacazette, Mateta.
UNITED STATES : Schutte – Reynolds, Robinson, Zimmerman, Wiley – Tessman – Aaronson, Booth, Gomez, Yow – McGuire.
