Without aligning its major eleven, the France team easily overcame Cameroon (4-0) this Saturday in Beauvais, just over two weeks before its first match at the Euro.


A serious victory (4-0), if not really convincing.

Facing a playful Cameroonian formation, full of desire but technically limited and defensively naive – which amply explains its 54th place in the Fifa rankings while France is on the third step of the podium –, the Bleues got their preparation off to a perfect start this Saturday. in Beauvais.

A failure followed by a… double from the Paris FC player.
