THE FRENCH SUPPORTERS IN THE CROWD ARE JUBILANT - THE LOWEST-RANKED TEAM AT THE ODISHA WORLD CUP MAKES IT TO THE CROSSOVERS - SPAIN RANKED EIGHTH HAVE SADLY BEEN ELIMINATED AFTER PLAYING SUPERBLY
ARGENTINA WERE ASSURED OF A PLACE IN THE QUARTERFINALS EVEN BEFORE THE OPENING WHISTLE AND WILL GO THROUGH DESPITE THE LOSS
SPAIN LED NEW-ZEALAND 2-0 AT HALFTIME, BUT WERE HELD TO A DRAW - THE RESULT MEANT THAT SPAIN'S FATE HINGED ON THE FRANCE-ARGENTINA MATCH - BUT THE FRENCH NEEDED A WIN OR A HIGH-SCORING DRAW (5-5 AND ABOVE) TO ADVANCE TO THE CROSSOVERS AND KNOCK SPAIN OUT - WHO COULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT THEY HAVE ACHIEVE JUST THAT - AGAINST THE OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS!!!
ARGENTINA INCH CLOSER - FRANCE HANG ON - SPAIN LOOK ON DESPERATELY AS THEIR FATE HANGS IN THE BALANCE - FIFTEEN MINUTES TO DECIDE WHETHER SPAIN OR FRANCE GO THROUGH!!!
HUGO GENESTET, VICTOR CHARLET, ARISTIDE COISNE, AND GASPARD BAUMGARTEN HAVE VERY NEARLY MANUFACTURED A MIRACLE FOR THE FRENCH - CAN THEY HANG ON IN THE SECOND HALF AND DOES ARGENTINA HAVE THE RESOLVE TO FIGHT-BACK FROM A THREE-GOAL DEFICIT HAVING ALREADY QUALIFIED FOR THE QUARTERFINALS??
WILL IT INDEED RESULT IN A HEARTBREAK FOR SPAIN AS A WIN OR A HIGH-SCORING DRAW (ABOVE 5-5) WILL TAKE FRANCE TO THE CROSSOVERS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SPANISH!!!!!
