France avoids mistakes with barbers on standby
France enters the 2026 World Cup third-place playoff against England with an unusual approach: barbers will be on standby to prevent errors. After a 2-0 win over Morocco on July 9, Les Bleus are on a 5-game winning streak. Didier Deschamps is expected to rotate his squad against the Three Lions.
Why barbers on the bench?
This unusual decision aims to keep players focused. The barbers will intervene to adjust haircuts and avoid distractions. A measure that shows the importance given to details by the French staff.
A match with little at stake
Neither France nor England are aiming for the final victory, but honor is at stake. Les Bleus, unbeaten in 5 games, are looking to finish on a positive note. The next challenge is scheduled for July 18 at home.
Deschamps opts for rotation
The French manager is expected to field a rotated team. This rotation will allow starters to rest before the club season resumes. Fans expect a solid performance despite the absences.
