Mexico vs France Olympics Soccer Preview
France are the defending World Cup champions but will look to rebound from a disappointing ending to the European Championships last month, being bounced early by Switzerland on penalty kicks.
While some of the more notable stars like Kylian Mbappe are absent, Olympic soccer features some of the best young talent on the planet. This is because FIFA and the International Olympic Committee limit tournament participation to players who are 23 years of age and younger, with only three over-23 selections permitted on each roster.
Mexico won the gold medal in 2012 but was bounced in the group stage last time out in 2016, going 1-1-1.
France has not won Olympic gold in soccer since 1984, when the event was held in Los Angeles. The country has had no medals since in the sport.
“I’m excited to see everyone because they are all players who potentially could be called up for the senior team,” coach Tata Martino told the Los Angeles Times. “We always want to see their evolution.
“We’re trying to give them the best preparation to let them feel confident,” he added. “They’re going to compete in a really difficult group stage with three really competitive national teams.”
Here are the rosters for the two teams:
France Roster
Goalkeepers: Stefan Bajic (Saint-Etienne), Paul Bernardoni (Angers), Dimitry Bertaud (Montpellier).
Defenders: Melvin Bard (Lyon), Anthony Caci (Strasbourg), Ismael Doukoure (Valenciennes), Pierre Kalulu (AC Milan), Clement Michelin (Lens), Timothee Pembele (Paris Saint-Germain), Modibo Sagnan (Real Sociedad).
