While Germany, the Netherlands and Japan return home, France are full steam ahead, having quickly settled into this tournament and are showing flashes of luxury.

They managed to overcome stormy delays in Philadelphia and the absence of coach Didier Deschamps in Miami.

They will now have to deal with New Jersey’s stifling summer heat if they want to get past Sweden and book a Round of 16 match with Paraguay in Philadelphia on July 4.

After three wins from three, it is not only the French players who are enjoying this World Cup.

On the eve of this match, a huge number of Les Bleus fans gathered and took over the Brooklyn Bridge.
