Assured of the podium, which it had only been on once before, at the London Paralympic Games in 2012, the French blind football team is aiming for a real feat and the most beautiful metal on Saturday, against Argentina, in the final of the tournament of these Games. But the mission promises to be very complicated against an opponent who created a sensation by knocking out Brazil in the semi-finals.
In this tournament, the Blues made it through the first round thanks to two great victories against China (1-0) and Turkey (2-0). And while they suffered a heavy beating against those who were presented as the big favorites, namely the Brazilians, the French team was able to defy the odds against Colombia, dominated 1-0, to reach the final.
