Under the eyes of French President Emmanuel Macron as well as the First Lady of the United States Jill Biden, the French have never been able to take the measure of their opponents, who have always led in the score.

After having glued to 9-8 in the middle of the match, the Blue collapsed, lacking in skill unlike the American players who then took off to score.
This defeat is not detrimental for the qualification for the quarter-finals of the event since there are still six games to play for Laetitia Guapo, Mamignan Touré, Marie-Eve Paget and Ana Maria Filip.
The next one will take place in the evening against Italy.
