Now its everything or nothing. No margin of error for France and Poland. The two teams face each other at 12:00 (Brasília time) this Sunday, for the round of 16 of the World Cup, at the Al Thumama stadium, in Doha, capital of Qatar.
After putting a team practically all reserve and saving the starters – not least because he had been suffering from injuries in preparation for the Cup – Didier Deschamps will probably repeat the team that beat Denmark. With no embezzlements for the match compared to the last game, France will only be able to count on players who have already been cut from the selection, such as Benzema and Lucas Hernández.
Poland, once again, arrives for the next game with no medical problems. Coach Czeslaw Michniewicz will have full force – Lewandowski and company at your disposal. The expectation is that the lineup of the first rounds will be maintained for the round of 16, despite the below-expected performance against Argentina.
