Thierry Henry’s French team has overcome Argentina at the Paris Olympics. They are now in the last four, one obstacle away from a final. To aim for gold, they will have to beat Egypt, whose match takes place this Monday, August 5, 2024, at 9 p.m.
Thierry Henry’s Les Bleus are now just two matches away from a potential Olympic gold medal, a feat unseen since 1984. France took revenge on Argentina, their executioner at the last World Cup, whom they beat by a narrow 1-0 score, by claiming a fourth clean sheet immediately in these Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
To continue dreaming, the French team will have to face Egypt, during a semi-final broadcast this Monday, August 5, live from Lyon. If they pass this obstacle, they will be assured of the silver medal and a final against Spain or Morocco. Confidence is at its peak for the Blues.
