The French national team made it to the Olympics after successful performances at the 2019 European Under-21 Championship. The team included three players who attended Euro 2020, but Sylvain Ripol had problems attracting performers. On the eve of the start of the championships, some clubs did not release their players in the team’s position. It should come as no surprise that Andre-Pierre Gignac from Mexican Tigres has already exchanged 35 years in the team. By the way, it was he who became the author of the team’s only goal so far, which he scored from the 11-meter mark. In the first game the French were defeated by Mexico (1:4).
The Honduras national team has made it to the last three Olympics. The team paved their way to Japan with a victory over the US national team in the semifinals. At the last Games in Rio de Janeiro, the “white-blue” took second place in the group round, followed by the team defeating South Korea in the quarterfinals (1:0), but in the 1/2 finals they did not cope with Brazil (0:6). In the match for the bronze, Honduras lost to Nigeria (2:3). In the first meeting of the current tournament, the Americans lost to Romania (0:1), for which we made a prediction.
