The French team has not been very convincing since the beginning of these Olympic Games, far from it. Dwyane Wade then decided to cross it off his list of nations capable of competing with Team USA.
It’s hard to contradict him…
In front of its home crowd, the French team has no choice but to atone for the affront of the last World Cup.
The goal for these Olympic Games was therefore clear: to finish the tournament with a medal, preferably gold. For the time being, the Blues still have the right to hope to win one.
But although they have qualified for the quarter-finals, pessimism is rife among French supporters.
Already authors of a laborious preparation phase, Vincent Collet’s men obtained two very sluggish victories against Brazil and Japan.
Doubts were further confirmed after the heavy defeat against Germany (71-85) last Friday.
And if we are to believe what Dwyane Wade said, as reported by Donatas Urbonas, all of this will be far too insufficient to compete with Team USA.

Dwyane Wade on the main threats to Team USA: “The threats to Team USA are Germany and Canada.
To the naked eye, you would think that those two are the two teams to be feared the most. (…) This is one of the best American teams we have ever assembled. (…) But it only takes one game, and that’s what’s scary, because there is a lot of talent on the court.”
Unlike Victor Wembanyama’s gang, the United States team had a flawless run in the group stage. Better still, it won all its games by at least 17 points.
Whether it was against Serbia, South Sudan or Puerto Rico, each of their meetings turned into a demonstration.
In the quarter-finals, it will be against Brazil that they will have to repeat such a performance.
Similarly, Germany and Canada remain undefeated so far.
While the Mannschaft will face Greece, the neighbors of the reigning Olympic champions will face the French. Given the recent performances of these two teams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his teammates will be favorites, but it will be up to the Blues to upset the odds and prove the Heat legend wrong at the same time.
Having been struggling for a while, the French team is no longer considered a potential danger for Team USA in these Olympics for Dwyane Wade.
We therefore expect a surge of pride from the 2013 European champions against Canada.
