Foot2Rue loses frustrating 2nd match at Kings World Cup
This Wednesday, May 29 at 2pm (10pm French time)the French team Foot2Rue conducted by streamer Amine took on Mexico's Caligari cuddly toys a place in the last 16. After la folle remontada against PIO FC at the Kings World Cup in Mexico, Foot2Rue wanted to repeat the feat against a team playing at home in front of their fans and used to the Kings League Americas. 🌟
The match was rich in emotion, with another remontada for Les Bleus. But despite this heroic effort, they suffered a shootout defeat ! I Love Mexico tells you all about the match and Foot2Rue's next steps. 📢🇫🇷🇲🇽
Another Foot2Rue comeback falls short
Foot2Rue vs Peluche Caligari pre-match
Yesterday we described pre-match Foot2Rue VS Peluche Caligariand we knew it wasn't going to be easy. Faced with a team that plays Kings League America who finished second in the regular season, the challenge was immense, especially as they were playing at home with the majority of the public in their favor. 🏟️
😢 On the bad news front, Foot2Rue is starting to make a habit of it. After the refusal of Rami's participation and Nasri's injury, Foot2Rue was sanctioned for the celebration at the end of the match against PIO FC. Obscene gestures were allegedly made, and FC PIO's streameuse president complained, which Amine formally denies. His cousin, a member of the staff, was suspended for two matches, and the team would play shorthanded for two minutes from the fifth minute onwards (when the match goes to 7 vs 7). 🔴
For their part, PIO FC, who take on the Belgian team Deptostra FCsaw theone of his players banned from the Kings World Cup the general brawl at the end of the match. 🥊
The real reason for our sanction... It's shameful 😕 pic.twitter.com/Poql0MNIiK

First half: The last two minutes change everything
The trainer Saïd Pieds Carrés had developed a specific tactic: position the goalkeeper Allan Rakotovazaha from the start of the match when the number of players is progressive, because he's very good at footwork and could relaunch cleanly, betting on the offensive with strikers from the outset.
⏱️ 2nd minute Alan gets off to a great start, and Amara Fofana hits the post in the opening minutes 2 VS 2.
⏱️ 5th minute : Foot2Rue handled the early part of the match superbly, showing himself to be technically superior with some impressive dribbling from Clément Goguey. The team is now 7 VS 7 and theFrance outnumbered because of the suspension, we're going to have to hang in there, and it's been handled really well. In fact, the atmosphere isn't as crazy as it was for the first match, when Les Bleus were promised hell.
⏱️ 14th minute Christian Nsapu, the hero of the first match, replaces Alan as he is more comfortable in 7 VS 7 to make saves on his line. The Mexican defense plays low, which makes it difficult to create chances, but technically it's very solid. Chendry, as good as ever technically, finds Amara with an Iniesta-style pass, but it's offside.
⏱️ 16th minute It's here: THE PRESIDENT'S PENALTY 🥅 ! We explained this famous power of the Kings World Cup Mexicoand Amine had killed a pigeon in the first match. But well trained, coached and under the guidance of Saïd and Nasri, this time Amine brilliantly converted his penalty kick. 😍
HE DID IT! AMINE TAKES THE PENALTY! 🇫🇷😂 pic.twitter.com/n44FGQXWEc

1-0 for Foot2Rue ⚽
⏱️ 18th minute The Dé 🎲 ! We explained in Kings World Cup Mexico rules in the 18th minute, a die is rolled in the audience to determine the number of players until half-time. Surprise: GOAL TO GOAL.🧤
Goal to goal is a face-to-face where un outfield player takes the goalkeeper's place and must stop shots without hands, then shoot in turn at midfield. It's not easy, you have to be comfortable stopping balls but also have a great shot.
First shot for Caligari Plush: exceptional stop 🚨 Abdeldjalil MedioubA real policeman at the back, but the next shot didn't go so well. The star Gustavo Guillén, aka "Furby"The French took advantage of the situation and scored three goals before half-time with three superb strikes, while the French were shooting low.

Terrible disappointment for the French team, who showed today and was stronger than her opponentAgain, we showed our mental strength to get back into the game, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. The opposing keeper's saves and the difficulty of moving the block plus the rules that always punctuate the game were not in their favor. 😔
