On September 13, France is heading to the Women's Feeble World Cup final after a solid win over host Germany. They took the game 86-64, with Gabby Williams dropping 22 points and grabbing five boards. This sets them up for a showdown with the United States, who are looking for their fifth straight title. This is a big moment for France, who haven't meddled in the World Cup since 1953. Their coach mentioned it was a tough game, especially with the home crowd behind Germany. Janelle Salarine also put in work with a double-double, and Marine Johannes helped control the pace late in the game. Germany really struggled with turnovers, giving the ball away 25 times. Their coach pointed out that many of those were unforced errors, making it tough to compete against the strong French team.

They've shown a lot of resilience throughout the tournament, bouncing back from a tough opening loss.

The players are looking forward to the bronze medal game, ready to give it their all. So, France is in the final, facing the dominant United States. It's been a long row for them, and they're looking to make history. We'll see if they can pull off the upset and bring home the gold. Stay locked in with WNBA News Today, AI-powered updates.
