Terrain 68 : Philippe Quintais, Philippe Suchaud and Jean-Claude Jouffre face a Marseille team led by Patrice Yikik. The “Phi-Phi” arrived in the region on Friday and they are in good shape!
Terrain 1950 : for their reunion at Marseillaise, Jean-Michel Puccinelli, Ludovic Montoro and Benji Renaud will not start at Borély. The chance of the draw sends them to the Bois Luzy stadium to face three players who come from Chabeuil in Drôme.
France 3 pride of place: It is one of the defending champions who should open the ball for the games to be followed on the France 3 pitch, David Riviera associated this year with Michel Hatchadourian and Jordan Scholl, will play against a Belgian team composed of Gino Van der Eecken, Philippe Lamberts and Reinout Caudron. They are not at their first World Cup, a beautiful game to discover.
