U20 World Cup: Sad outcome for the Bleuets

The Bleuets lost to Colombia this Saturday evening in the small final of the Under-20 World Cup. Betrayed by their start to the match, Bernard Diomède's men were beaten by the smallest of margins (1-0), surprised from the 2nd minute of an otherwise balanced match. Defeated by Morocco in the half on penalties, this French generation nonetheless remains full of promise.
