more skilful, the Belgians are in the lead… Follow the half of Les Bleues

A last step, surely the most difficult, before joining the final of the Euro for the sixth consecutive time. The French team challenges Belgium, Saturday June 24, during the semi-finals of the competition. After a complex group stage, despite three successes in as many games played, the Blues were full of confidence at the right time, easily dominating Montenegro (90-46), during the quarter-finals of EuroBasket.

This time, it’s a real mountain that stands in front of the players of Jean-Aimé Toupane. Already impressive in the pools, the Belgians created the sensation of the quarter-finals by outclassing the Serbia (93-53)reigning European champion. In its arsenal, Belgium has a weapon of choice: Emma Meesseman, voted best player in the Euroleague in 2023 and author of the first triple double in the history of the Euro against the Serbs (15 points at 7/13 shooting, 13 rebounds, 11 assists). But the French team has the answer and can count on the Paloise Marine Fauthoux, tricolor conductor against Montenegro (15 points at 7/9 in shooting and 6 assists).
