For the first time since 1984, the French football team is in the final of the Olympic Games against ;in Spain this Friday, August 9 at 6 p.m. It's a medal that French football has been waiting for many years. With this victory in extra time against Egypt three goals to one in the semi-final, the French team is assured of bringing home a medal for the first time since the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. And Thierry Henry's players want to do as well as their illustrious counterparts, namely an Olympic title and a gold medal. The Bleuets group is living the adventure at deep down, as evidenced by the videos of the group raving about the performances of Léon Marchand in swimming or the French judo team. The “crazy ones”, as Thierry Henry calls them, want to go for the medal in front of their home crowd, this Friday, August 9 at 6 p.m. at the Parc des Princes. On the other side, you will have to be wary of the Spanish team, which has been impressive since the start of the competition. After a controlled group stage, La Rojita won 3-0 in the quarter-finals against Japan, then 2-1 in the semi-finals against Morocco. But this opposition does not scare Thierry Henry, “when we decide to be together, we are unstoppable” declared the coach of the French team at a press conference before the final. “It will be a difficult final, against a team that is formidable, but it is a final and we will play it to the full.” It will take at least that much to beat Spain and get that gold medal. The final of the Olympic tournament will begin at 6pm at the Parc des Princes The match will be broadcast on Eurosport channels, but also on France 2 and France 3
