FRA 8:1 (3:1) GBR

Great Britain came up against fierce rivals France in this match to reach the 9-12 qualification places. Great Britain started very well and looked like a new team for the first five minutes. They were confident on the ball and created space for a few early chances. It was cross channel neighbours, however, who look the lead through Farid Ididder after 6 minutes had passed. He completed his hat trick less than three minutes later and Great Britain were up against it once again. France had also hit the post twice as GB pushed their goalkeeper forward looking to break their deadlock. Michael Skubala could have made the first half a different story entirely if he put away two early chances to add to the one that he did put away nicely. The second half saw France improve and finish off the game scoring three in 4 minutes before taking the total up to 8-1 with seconds remaining. France look good for finishing a respectable top 10, while Great Britain have one more chance to improve on 14th acheived two years ago.
