France are steeling themselves for a hostile atmosphere in Brisbane for their Women’s World Cup quarter-final against Australia on Saturday, as Les Bleues seek to play down the significance of a pre-tournament friendly defeat to the Matildas.
Almost 50,000 fans will attend the tie that comes less than a month since the Matildas defeated the visitors 1-0 in Melbourne. French midfielder Kenza Dali predicted the Suncorp Stadium crowd “is going to be against us”.
