In the opening match of the World Cup, France played like a team who expects to win this tournament. They came out spitting fire in a first half that saw them score three goals, with another ruled offside by VAR. And they could easily have had three or four more. Their press was aggressive and South Korea almost literally couldn’t get a foot on the ball for much of the half. That press directly created the first French goal with Amandine picking a pocket, racing through acres of open space, and then calmly delivering a ball for Eugenie Le Sommer to put away.
