Morocco-Colombia, big controversy for M6

The programming of the M6 ​​group for the 3rd day of the World Cup makes some teeth cringe.

The 2023 World Cup is broadcast unencrypted and in full by the France Télévisions (France 2 and France 3) and M6 (M6 and W9) groups. This was the announcement made a few weeks ago, good news for the visibility of this event. But that’s not entirely accurate.

For the 3rd day of the group stage, where the two matches of each group take place at the same time, M6 has chosen to broadcast only one match. We can understand this choice, because it is complicated for a group to mobilize two of its antennas in the clear at the same time. But the problem is that the other match of each group was not visible on the 6Play platform, as it was initially announced.

On Wednesday, for example, Argentina-Sweden was broadcast. The South Africa-Italy match, which saw the historic qualification of Banyama Banyama, was not available anywhere in France. At 12 p.m., France Télévisions offered Jamaica-Brazil, the other meeting of the Blue group, on its online platform while Panama-France was logically broadcast on France 2.

This Thursday, rebelote. The decisive South Korea-Germany is broadcast on W9. But it is regrettable not to find anywhere the other meeting of the group, between Morocco and Colombia. This match is also decisive for the qualification for the round of 16, for both teams, and we can think that the Moroccans of France would have liked to see this meeting while the players of Reynald Pedros have just won their very first match in the Cup in the world, and that qualification for the round of 16 is still possible. What provoke the anger of Internet users towards the M6 ​​group…
