To truly fulfil that billing, vast improvements are needed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Relentless Renard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Wendie Renard is a real force of nature. A 6ft 2in, goalscoring centre-back who has netted 67 times in 254 games at club level for Lyon, winning pretty much everything on offer along the way.<\/p>\n<p>And on Friday, she helped her country stamp their authority right on the 2019 Women&#8217;s World Cup with two thunderous headed goals from corners.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Make that two goals. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sBDfxVU3Lx\">https:\/\/t.co\/sBDfxVU3Lx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1137084352213528581?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sure, Hwang Bo-Ram should have done much more to try and put her off for the first but in reality, even if she&#8217;d tried, it likely wouldn&#8217;t have made a difference.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the game, Renard had won match-high four aerial duels and had 99 touches of the ball<strong>,<\/strong> the second-highest number on the pitch, exemplifying France&#8217;s dominance in this game as she breezed through the 90 minutes. Just as Yerry Mina was for Colombia in the 2018 men&#8217;s edition, Renard will be a real goal threat from set pieces throughout.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. A captain&#8217;s performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re the hosts and joint-favourites of a World Cup, it&#8217;s fair to say there&#8217;s a huge amount of pressure on your shoulders. To handle that pressure, you need a captain who can stamp their authority on the game and lead the way in every aspect. Henry was just that on Friday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Amandine Henry has scored her first goal for France since March 2018.<\/p>\n<p>What a strike that was. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DgZqasLa9e\">pic.twitter.com\/DgZqasLa9e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1137098793709703169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Setting the tone, she harassed the South Koreans into a mistake to win the ball back for the first goal and won the midfield battle throughout the game with consummate ease. Her\u00a015 passes into the final third \u2013 the most of any player on the pitch \u2013 set the tempo for her side, one South Korea just couldn&#8217;t live with as their lines were consistently broken and bypassed.<\/p>\n<p>The scary thing about this France side is the fact that alongside Henry, the likes of Renard and Le Sommer could easily wear the armband. It&#8217;s a side full of leaders. Even so, Henry was still able to stand head and shoulders above the rest at the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n<p>Her beautifully taken goal to make it 4-0 at the end was absolutely deserved.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Laying down a marker<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Automatically qualifying as hosts, this is just the fourth time France have made it to the Women&#8217;s World Cup. Moreover, they&#8217;ve never gone further than fourth place, winning just six of their 14 games in the competition before Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>But the way they cut through South Korea like a buzzsaw in the first half in Paris was pure justification as to why so many people are tipping them for success on home soil. The gauntlet has well and truly been thrown down.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1092804\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/07215224\/rsz_pa-43384394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1232\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/07215224\/rsz_pa-43384394.jpg 1232w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/07215224\/rsz_pa-43384394-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/07215224\/rsz_pa-43384394-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/07215224\/rsz_pa-43384394-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/07215224\/rsz_pa-43384394-66x44.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1232px) 100vw, 1232px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second half may not have had quite as much spark and ruthlessness as the first but still, they didn&#8217;t allow South Korea a single sniff.<\/p>\n<p>The likes of USA, Germany and England will provide far more formidable opposition to France should they meet.
