France needs changes at half time. Eve Perisset can t be worse than De Almeida... Dali lost all the 1 VS 1 fights and sent long balls to... the english, she must go out Cascarino in at left wing. And if this match has to be lost for France, why not try Ribadeira for Katoto (who don't move)
Cascarini in, Karchaoui out (she has been useless as a midfield...) Toletti in, Henry out. I said before that Henry was a good sub for the last 20 min, she can"t be a starter anymore Hervé renard urges the bleues to press rhe english players closely and harshly
Perisset in, but it is not De Almeida who left the field, she moved at CB replacing Lakrar, abysmal during this second leg
You always wonder what happened in the players' brain so that 8 out of the 11 players simply did not turn up in the first half. Herve Renard really selected a poor starting XI 1798051544878948731 is not a valid tweet id He will have to put Karchaoui at left-back against Sweden as Bacha will be suspended.
Yes the defeat is for the players but H.renard has a big part in. Uncomprehensible starting 11 : - Karchaoui in the middle (or somewhere?) - Henry starter - Dali nobody understood where she was playing, sometimes in the middle, sometimes as a left winger, or right winger, she failed at all of these places Then add that 1/ De Almeida and Lakrar were awful, 2/ Katoto, i like her, she is powerful and has real skill to score but she *never* runs to make good calls and help her teammates to create something. All the others played under their level, except the GK PPM, and maybe W.Renard. it was "mission impossible".
Without a come back of Mbock and ELS at the OG, i don't think France will get something. my OG roster : - PPM, Durand - Renard Mbock Bacha Karchaoui Perisset Lakrar - Geyoro, Dali, Toletti, Majri, Baltimore - Cascarino, Katoto, Diani, ELS, Becho Reserve : De Almeida, Picaud, Dufour, Le Garrec (or Henry)
Olympics squad long list of 26 players: 1803722561483628770 is not a valid tweet id Full list of 18+4 will be known in early July.
From the list, I have 15 definitely going: GK 1 Peyraud-Magnin DF 6 Bacha, De Almeida, Karchaoui, Lakrar, M'Bock, Renard MF 3 Dali, Geyoro, Toletti FW 5 Becho, Cascarino, Diani, Katoto, Le Sommer GK fighting to be on the list or reserves 1 place: Picaud and Durand MF fighting to be in the 18 2 places: Baltimore, Henry and Le Garrec DF fighting to be in the reserves Cascarino, Perisset, Samoura FW fighting to be in the reserves Dufour, Benyahia, Ribadeira
France squad met up yesterday and one player is currently out due to Covid - 19 positive testing, Selma Bacha. France have added a friendly in preparation for the Euro qualifiers/Olympics on 5 July and they will play Ouzbekistan.
And there we have the Olympic squad. From the 26 players currently in camp Benyahia, Dufour and Samoura are out and will leave after the Ireland away game at Cork. Ribadeira left due to a knee injury last week. GK: Peyraud-Magnin, PIcaud DF: Bacha, E Cascarino, De Almeid, Karchaoui, Lakrar, M'Bock, Renard MF: Baltimore, Dali, Geyoro, Henry, Toletti FW: D Cascarino, Diania, Katoto, Le Sommer Reserves: Durand, Perisset, Le Garrec, Becho
Victory over Sweden confirmed qualification to the Euros. Hervé Renard will make changes to the line-up with Constance Picaud coming in goal.
11 changes from the Sweden game: Picaud - Perisset, Lakrar, Samoura, E.Cascarino - Bacha, Henry, Le Garrec - Baltimore, Becho, Dufour
Changing 11 players was a disaster and ended up with a defeat 3-1 away to Ireland. Poor play, poor intensity. All gone wrong, plus two players went off injured. Baltimore and Lakrar. Olympics start in 8 days.
And in the end another QF exit for the 8th time in 11 tournaments. Coach now gone as expected and his number 2 is taking over according to the press. Regarding youth football: the u-17 lots in the Euros semi-final to Spain, the u-19 lost in the Euros semi-final to Netherlands, the u-20 are preparing for the World Cup. The FFF totally messed up the u-20 team by giving them only three games to prepare in the Sud Ladies Cup. The 21 players squad has one player who played at the u-19 Euros Belhadj and two players who were in the Euro qualifiers squad before the Olympics Ribadeira and Samoura.
the FFF had published a squad list for the u-20 WWC and now the updated list has been amputated of five of the more experienced players: Bogaert, Samoura, Elimbi, Sylla, Ribadeira. All starters at that level.

A quick reminder of the WNT poor results since they have been qualifying regularly for tournaments: Bruno Bini Euro 2009: QF WWC 2011: 4th place Olympics 2012 4th place Euro 2013: QF Bini sacked Phillipe Bergeroo WWC 2015 :QF Olympics 2016: QF Bergeroo sacked Olivier Echouafni Euro 2017: QF Echouafni sacked Corinne Diacre: WWC 2019 : QF Euros 2021 : SF Diacre sacked in 2023 by players power. Herve Renard: WWC 2023 QF UWNL 2024 final Olympics 2024: QF Renard departs at the end of his contract. Basically, reaching the QF and lose is the usual performance.
Serious announcement , tatatata : Jean Michel Aulas, in charge of women football at the FFF (french football federation) said, on the failure of Les Bleues at the 2024 Olympics : : “this is the last time we won’t succeed” He added: "we were able to detect the origin of our problem: it is mental" Good luck Jeanmimi But please, don't wake me up for *at least* 4 years.... https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Act...-fois-qu-on-n-y-arrive-pas/1508624#xtor=RSS-1 PS : Thankfully, I had a fantastic summer with these wonderful Paris 2024 OG, from the crazy awesome creative provocative emotional masterpiece opening ceremony to the closing ceremony, the real one after the Paralympic games, one month of good sport in the heart of the city! (brillant stuff, proud of France)
Well he is not wrong on the mental side, but it is not the only reason. Louisa Necib the former OL player was very critical during the Olympics of the level of technical ability in the French team. France youth training system is now creating athletes who can run for a long time and far but cannot control or pass the ball.
