France still in the running for the Euro
The French team is charting its course at Euro 2024 after triumphing over Austria (1-0) and snatching two draws against the Netherlands (0-0) and Poland (1-1), ensuring thus his place in the round of 16. But the challenge goes up a notch for the Blues, who will face a formidable opponent from the start of this knockout phase: Belgium.
This duel against France could be a chance for revenge for Belgium. In 2018, the Blues eliminated them in the semi-final of the World Cup with a decisive goal from Samuel Umtiti. Three years later, during the semi-final of the Nations League, despite a two-goal deficit at the break, the French team reversed the situation to win a memorable victory of 3 goals to 2.
N'Golo Kanté, marked by the tragic loss of his brother during a competition
The round of 16 of Euro 2024 between France and Belgium is scheduled for Monday July 1 at 6 p.m., broadcast live on TF1 from Düsseldorf. The comments will be provided by the famous duo of the first channel, Grégoire Margotton and Bixente Lizarazu. On the ground, N’Golo Kanté is also expected. The French midfielder's performances have been widely praised in recent matches.
At 33, N'Golo Kanté, now a player in Saudi Arabia for the Al Ittihad club, shone like never before during the World Cup in Russia. A memorable moment in his career, all the more significant since he had recently faced a shocking personal tragedy. A few days before the start of the 2018 competition, N'Golo Kanté, an essential link in the French team's midfield, was devastated by terrible news: the death of his brother following a heart attack.
