PARIS - France are admittedly far from their best at the women’s World Cup, and with a likely quarter-final clash against world champions the United States looming, Les Bleues need to improve if they are to win their maiden title on home soil.
France scraped into the last eight with a 2-1 win against Brazil after extra time on Sunday, their technical shortcomings being compensated by their mental resources as the squad is drawing a lot of attention in the country. “In the first half we did not play. It’s hard to create anything when you cannot make three consecutive passes,” said center back Wendie Renard.Les Bleues did do better in the second half, with forward Kadidiatou Diani a constant threat and striker Valerie Gauvin looking dangerous.
“My players are not at their best level. Some are playing at 80% of their potential, some at 60-70%,” said coach Corinne Diacre, who stayed ice-cool by the touchline when Henry netted the winner.
