The Blues are potentially playing for their leadership – and their direct qualification for the next World Cup – this Thursday at the Parc des Princes against Ukraine. In the event of a French setback, the Ukrainians would indeed come back to match their French hosts. One day before the end of the debates.

This last lift will see the Blues travel to Azerbaijan on Sunday. And then Iceland, facing Ukraine, could try to join the virtual tandem in command. The Icelanders having today laid down the law in Baku (0-2).

Given the goal difference of each, the French team should not find itself beyond second place, synonymous with the play-offs. On the other hand, it is no longer one selection but two that he makes him watch over like milk on the fire.
