The reigning world champion will have to meet Denmark in their next challenge in the World Cup. France were behind against Australia in the opening stages. On the one hand, because defender Hernandez was seriously injured and, on the other hand, because Australia took the 1-0 lead. After all slowly but surely, thanks to the individual class of Kylian Mbappe, the rest of the team prevailed after that. Apart from a few careless mistakes and a somewhat sluggish build-up in between, Didier Deschamps men finally won 4-1 against courageous but playfully limited Australians. The Danes weren't able to win their first group game but that was because the Scandinavians played against Tunisia who were playing brilliantly. The Eagles of Carthage have to be given a huge compliment for their extremely strong performance, with which they could have caused problems even for the French. Now the starting position of the Scandinavians is a little bit controversial. Because now they are in a race for the 2nd place with Tunisia. |
