The French national team is having an excellent run at the home Olympics. Under the guidance of Thierry Henry, the French won all three group stage matches: 3-0 against the USA, 1-0 against Guinea, and 3-0 against New Zealand. In all matches, “Les Bleus” controlled the game and deservedly took the three points.
The real tests began for France in the playoffs, where they faced a very strong Argentina team in the quarter-finals. This match was particularly important for the French after the offensive songs sung on the Argentine team bus following their victory at the 2024 Copa América. France did not disappoint their fans, winning 1-0. It was only in the semi-final against Egypt that Thierry Henry’s team conceded their first goal of the tournament. This goal could have been fatal, as France was losing 1-0, but they equalized late in the game and managed to win 3-1 in overtime, playing with a man advantage.
The triumph of Spanish football on the world stage continues. Following Spain’s victories at Euro 2024 and the U-19 European Championship, the Olympic team has reached the final of the Olympics. However, Spain did have a minor setback during the group stage. After wins against Uzbekistan (2-1) and the Dominican Republic (3-1), Santi Denia’s team suffered a defeat to Egypt (1-2), which meant they finished second in their group.
In the first round of the playoffs, Spain faced Japan and defeated them 3-0. Although it’s worth noting that Japan did have a few good scoring opportunities during the match. In the semi-final, Spain was trailing Morocco 0-1 at halftime due to a penalty goal by Sofiane Rahimi. However, in the second half, the Spanish team took control of the game and managed to score twice.
