what if the Blues played their round of 16 during the first round of the legislative elections?

What if the French football team played on the evening of the first round of the legislative elections? This is a possibility that cannot be ruled out, especially after the draw against the Netherlands this Friday evening in Leipzig (0-0). Concretely, if they finish among the four best thirds in the group stage, the Blues could face the first in Group C (England, Denmark, Slovenia) in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 on Sunday June 30 at 6 p.m. ( broadcast on M6) ; that is to say, their match would compete (in part) with election night, especially in the event of overtime.

A match on Sunday June 30 at 9 p.m.?

But Didier Deschamps and his men, still in the event that they finish among the four best thirds and depending on the other best thirds, could play their round of 16…in “prime time»from 9 p.m. (broadcast on TF1), against the first of group B (Spain); that is to say in the middle of election night. Suffice to say that the “A” will once again have an editorial choice to make. As a reminder, on Sunday June 9, after Emmanuel Macron’s announcement to dissolve the National Assembly, the first channel decided to postpone the broadcast of the friendly match against Canada. Will she do the same for a knockout match?

Euro 2024: The Blues qualified for the round of 16, if…

The Blues are on track to qualify

However, given its start to Euro 2024, the France team has a good chance of finishing in the first two of group D. Indeed, after two matches, Kylian Mbappé and his partners occupy second place, tied points with the Netherlands, and one point ahead of Austria (and a “goal-average» particularly in their favor). Next Tuesday, at the end of the afternoon (6 p.m.), they will face Poland…which is already eliminated. They would have to lose against the “Aigles” and the Austrians would have to win against the “Oranje” for them to finish in third place in their group…and for the broadcasters to be (perhaps) embarrassed.
