Les Bleus come back from far away
With two defeats against Denmark and Norway, a draw snatched at the last minute against Egypt and a final victory against Argentina, not everything went as planned for the French team in Paris during the group stage. Let's hope that the move to Lille brings some improvement to these Blues.
