France vs Argentina FREE Live Stream (8/2/24): How to watch Men's Olympic soccer quarterfinals online | Time, TV, Channel for 2024 Paris Olympics. France faces Argentina in a men’s soccer quarterfinals match at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Friday, Aug. 2, 2024 (8/2/24) at Stade de Bordeaux.
A racism scandal has heightened tension for the Olympic quarterfinal confrontation between bitter football rivals France and Argentina at the Paris Games on Friday.
There’ll likely be booing at the venue in Bordeaux.
The fallout from a video of Argentina players singing an offensive song about French players of African heritage as they celebrated their Copa America victory last month has become political.
The derogatory chants singled out France players of African heritage, from several countries, and holding a French passport.
The same chants — by some Argentinian fans — emerged before Lionel Messi’s Argentina team beat France in the World Cup final in 2022.
The French public has already used an Olympic venue to vent — Argentina’s men’s rugby sevens players were raucously and constantly booed by a Stade de France crowd of 69,000 during a quarterfinal against the home team. That’s extremely rare in rugby.
France’s Olympic soccer coach Thierry Henry didn’t want the fracas to take full focus during his pre-match news conference Thursday.
“I won’t talk about that,” said Henry, a member of France’s 1998 World Cup-winning squad. “There’s a desire to only talk about the match. It is important.”
In the fallout from last month’s video, the French soccer federation filed a complaint with soccer’s world governing body, which investigated, and it reached political levels. Argentine President Javier Milei and French President Emmanuel Macron met in Paris, where they appeared to put aside the controversy.
The national anthems, shortly before 9 p.m. on Friday night, will offer an indication whether fans have done the same.
Recent indications suggest otherwise.
Soccer rivalry
The Olympic quarterfinal is a rematch French fans have been waiting for since Argentina’s dramatic penalty shootout win in the 2022 World Cup final.
Because it’s primarily an Under-23 tournament, the superstars of that World Cup final — Messi and Kylian Mbappé — won’t be playing. Nor will Argentina’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who carried a doll with Mbappé’s face on it during an open top bus parade to celebrate the World Cup victory. That final in Qatar finished 3-3 after extra time with France rallying back with an Mbappé hat trick.
This time, France appears to be the favorite.
For Henry’s squad it has been a smooth path to the last eight with three wins and no goals conceded in Group A.
Still, he’s wary.
“Another competition is starting, everything changes. One mistake and you’re on the way out,” said Henry, who is Black. Argentina is “a very good team: They have youth and experience in every department.”
Things were relatively rocky at the Olympics for coach Javier Mascherano’s Argentina in Group B.
Their opening game against Morocco ended with a pitch invasion and objects launched onto the field by Morocco fans, after Argentina scored what it though was an equalizing goal 16 minutes into stoppage time. Only to have it ruled out nearly two hours later by VAR for an offside. To add to Argentina’s frustrations, the team’s Olympic training base was targeted by thieves before the match.
Goal threats
French veteran Alexandre Lacazette, who scored 19 league goals for Lyon last season, has formed a dangerous-looking attack with Jean-Philippe Mateta. They’re well supported by Michael Olise, a recent signing by Bayern Munich.
Manchester City striker Julián Álvarez, who won the World Cup and the Copa America with Argentina, has started all three group games but is still looking for his first goal of the tournament.
The winner meets either Egypt or Paraguay in the semifinals on Monday. The Olympic gold medal match is scheduled for Aug. 9 in Paris.
The French are into the Olympic quarterfinals for the first time since 1996 in Atlanta with Les Bleus waiting 40 years since their last knockout phase win at a Games. That coincided with a gold medal win and Thierry Henry's men will hope for the same here despite an unwanted record of five losses from six last eight matchups for the men. On an overall unbeaten run since a 4-0 loss to Japan at the 2020 Tokyo Games, France are now nine unbeaten.
The Argentines are into the knockout phase for the first time since their last gold medal win back in 2008. The South Americans failed to make it past the group stage in 2016 and 2020 but they have only lost one of their last five quarterfinals. That was against Brazil in 1988 and although this was a World Cup final 18 months ago, it is a first-ever Olympic meeting for these two giants of world soccer.
The Americans are playing in the Olympics for the first time since 2008. They bounced back from their opening loss to France by winning back-to-back games against New Zealand and Guinea.
The match is set to begin at 3 p.m. CEST (9 a.m. EDT) at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
The other men’s quarterfinal matchups are Japan vs. Spain starting at 5 p.m. CEST (11 a.m. EDT) at Lyon Stadium; and Egypt vs. Paraguay starting at 7 p.m. CEST (1 p.m. EDT) at Marseille Stadium.
The hosts defeated USA, Guinea and New Zealand, scoring seven goals in all and conceding none. And while Thierry Henry's side finished at the summit of Group A, the South Americans finished second to Morocco in Group B.
Javier Mascherano's side bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Morocco in their opening group game, to picking up crucial wins over Iraq and Ukraine in order to make it through to the knockouts.
Following starts and despite scoring in last Friday's 2-0 win over New Zealand, Desire Doue and Arnaud Kalimuendo will need to be content with spots on the bench. That is because captain Alexandre Lacazette and Michael Olise are in line for recalls to complete the attacking trident with Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Proving his fitness after coming on as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Ukraine last Friday, Lucas Beltran would partner Julian Alvarez in attack. As such, Luciano Gondou will return to the bench.
Guiliano Simeone and Thiago Almada can be deployed on the flanks once again, with Claudio Echeverri and Cristian Medina operating through the middle.
The long-awaited showdown is finally upon us, and it’s everything fans could have hoped for. The clash between Argentina and France isn’t just about the high-profile teams and their recent world championship titles—it’s also charged with a heated rivalry that has been stoked by recent events. The tension escalated after Argentina’s taunts toward France’s Kylian Mbappe, adding an extra layer of intensity to an already compelling matchup.
Argentina, despite a shaky start to the tournament with a controversial loss to Morocco, rallied with two consecutive wins to secure a second-place finish. Meanwhile, France have been flawless in their campaign, winning every game and carrying the advantage of home soil. With both teams eager to assert their dominance and settle old scores, this match is set to be a thrilling spectacle.
