After a victory as large as it was logical this week in Caen against Israel, Jean-Aimé Toupane's girls do it again at 5:10 p.m. in Riga, against a tougher opponent but who remains much less solid than our Olympic vice-champions. A victory tonight? Euro 2025 will extend its arms to them!
Tonight at 5:10 p.m., because yeah, at 5:10 p.m. it's dark, the French will play their qualifier for Euro 2025 in Latvia. Three matches and three victories for the moment, logical given the level of the teams in the group, but However, you shouldn't look down on anyone, it was my Grandpa Fernand who taught me that. The Latvians are also the toughest opponents in the Blue group, who “only” beat them by 22 points in the first leg and who will therefore have to be wary of the Baltic atmosphere, which is never easy to manage.
For this Jean-Mémé (no one calls him that) will be able to count on the return of the cheatcode Dominique Malonga, absent in Caen against Israel and who replaces the young Jesse-Mine Zodia for this match. Dominique Malonga who, as we recall, dunked in a match not that long ago, reread the sentence carefully.
Dominique Malonga, Gabby Williams, Janelle Salaün, Marieme Badiane, Romane Bernies, Leïla Lacan and Valériane Ayayi are the seven Olympians present in the group, Foppossi, Touré, Tadic and Astier the reservists who are logically given their chance and Camille Droguet the little latest arrival. With such a group the job should be done without too much problem, so serious, fun, and what more? Quickly, at 5:10 p.m.!
