Being France, there is still time for a crisis to develop, for a rotten egg to slip into the souffle mixture, or acontretemps to blow up into full-blown guerre civile.But for now, after dismi sing Italy in brutal fashion in their Womens Euro 2022 opener, Les Bleues are looking simply magnifique.When coach Corinne Diacre left Amandine Henry and Eugenie Le Sommer out of herEurossquad, deciding France could cope without the Champions League final player of the match and the national teamsrecord goalscorer, it was a calculatedact of coaching courage that had the potential to backfire spectacularly.And it still might, because Sunday evenings 5-1 drubbingin Rotherham taught us only so much: Oscar Robertson Jersey on the front foot, against opponents whose defending leaves a lot to be desired, they can fill their boots.Diacre felt Henry and Le Sommer were not ideal fits for this team, and the coach whose controversy-packed five-year reign makes her a divisive figure stakedher reputation on it.France, like this tournaments hosts, England, have yet to win a major tournament, but they have been fancied more often than the Lione ses to come away with a trophy and repeatedly failed todeliver on expectations.They have typically run into strong opposition and not had quite enough. Italy have a long way to come before they fall into the strong opposition category, with the Azzurrereckle sly obliging in thisGroup D landslideat the Giannis Antetokounmpo Jersey New York Stadium.France had set twoWomens Euros records by half-time, becomingthe first team to score five goals before the break, with Grace Geyoro the first player to hit a first-half Khris Middleton Jersey hat-trick.Italy hadwon their opening match at just two of their previous 11 Womens Euros(D4 L5). Hopes of a third such victory were already over as they retreated for dre sing-room respite. They have now lost 11 of their past 16 games at the Euros (W4 D1). It might have been a different story ifBarbara Bonansea buried an early chance, but she was denied by the legs of France goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin, and a rout ensued.Kadidiatou Diani, a menace on the right, sent over a low centre that was feebly dealt with by Italy, allowing Geyoro a ninth-minute tap-in, and the second French goal was also about threat from the flanks, with SakinaKarchaoui racing down the left before her deflected cro Thon Maker Jersey s was palmed into the path of a grateful Marie-Antoinette Katoto by Italy goalkeeper Laura Giuliani.Twelve minutes in, France were 2-0 up andrampant. Delphine Cascarino hita delightful third from the edge of the box, Geyoro rounded Giuliani for a fourth and added number five in the 45th minute, disrupting Italian po se sion herself before taking a return ball from SandieToletti and smashing home.Unable to halt Geyoro by fair means, Italy elected for another approach after the break as captain Sara Gama hacked down the forward with a me sy challenge on the left. Shown a red card initially, it was reduced to yellow after a VAR check, which probably saved Italy from greater humiliation.They got a goal back throughMartina Piemontes neat header, too, France becoming briefly ragged. The Frenchmight need to win this tournament, or at least reach Jason Terry Jersey the July 31 final at Wembley, for Diacres big decisions to be justified, so here was a just a glimpse of fragility. A fifth succe sive win in European Championship openers was never in doubt.One more number felt significanton this warm Yorkshire night. The crowd of 8,541 drew warm applause around this tidy lower-league ground, and rightly so. When these teams met in the group stage of Euro 2005, also hosted by England, only 957 turned out at Prestons Deepdale ground to witne s the occasion.The womens gameis changing, and perhaps the same might be said for France.
