Croatian dangers
Camila Micijevic, left-back from Metz, achieves an impressive Euro as she ranks fourth among the top scorers in the competition with 30 goals (5 on average).
And without taking into account the seven-meter jets, which she doesn't shoot, she's just number 1. The other big threat is goalkeeper Tea Pijevic, imperial in front of her cage with 37% saves, with style atypical which could pose problems to the Blue.

French defense expected at the turn
To rule out Croatia in the semi-finals of the Euro, the France team will rely in particular on one of its traditional strengths: the excellence of its rearguard.
"I've been saying this for years, it's not very modest, but I think France has the best defense and the best defensive potential," said coach Olivier Krumbholz, yet hardly focused on the emphasis in general.
