France vs Australia World Cup 2022: Date & Time, Preview, Prediction, Team News

Kylian Mbappe and co have the strongest squad at the World Cup and Didier Deschamps has the perfect blend of youth and experience to choose from.

Australia, on the other hand, will be fighting to just progress out of the group and into the knockout stages.

Graham Arnold’s men didn’t have a great qualifying campaign, winning just four of their 10 games, and they could be found out by France.

France vs Australia team news

Benzema was already battling knee and hamstring concerns, and is now out of the entire tournament due to a thigh tear sustained while sprinting in a training session on Saturday.

Christopher Nkunku, meanwhile, was forced to drop out of the squad after his own training injury suffered earlier in the week and Randal Kolo Munai has replaced him.

Injury-plagued France were already without the likes of N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba and Presnel Kimpembe.

For Australia, Martin Boyle has recovered from an injury suffered with Hibernian, while it will be fascinating to see whether or not incoming Newcastle teenager Garang Kuol gets a start.

France predicted line-up: Lloris; Pavard; Kimpembe, Varane, Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe, Benzema.

Australia predicted line-up: Ryan; Atkinson, Wright, Rowles, Behich; Mooy, Boyle, Hrustic, Irvine, Leckie, Duke.

France v Australia prediction

France will be confident of dominating against Australia on Tuesday night.

Didier Deschamps’s likely starting front line will be Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema – and they have the likes of Olivier Giroud on the bench if things aren’t going to plan.

Australia will try to keep it tight and hit France on the counter attack, as well as using set pieces, however France should have more than enough to deal with the Socceroos.

France to Win-to-Nil

France have played Australia four times in total and picked up wins in the pair’s last two encounters in 2013 and 2018. The French are one of the pre-tournament favourites to win the World Cup and we fully expect them to start by securing all 3pts against Australia without conceding a goal. France haven’t been in the best of form of late despite beating Austria 2-0 in September but Australia aren’t used to playing against this level of opposition and even failed to score in recent international matches against New Zealand and Saudi Arabia.

Kylian Mbappe to Score

Many believe that Kylian Mbappe will lead France to glory in Qatar and we’re backing the 23-year-old PSG forward to get off to a scoring start against Australia. Mbappe has scored 9-goals in his last 10 appearances for France across all competitions and has scored 12-goals in 13 starts for PSG in Ligue 1, so you can see why the young forward is being tipped to have a great World Cup.

Vietnam’s Banh Mi Impresses American Foodies

Hughie’s on 18th Street West Houston, established in 2013, is one of many Vietnamese -American restaurants. This restaurant has switched to a “drive-through” style (the dining style of many Americans, customers drive to the window and receive food to take away, no need to step down) in 2020 to limit exposure to the Covid-19 virus.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

Giant calligraphy hat breaks record as largest in Vietnam

Image
The work has been done on the initiative of Dao Thi Cam Suong, a calligrapher from Can Tho. The giant conical hat is made up of a total of 540 smaller conical hats, with calligraphy written on top. Suong has spent 89 days writing the calligraphy and finding connections to produce the finished product. The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
