Despite securing a 3-0 victory over Team USA on Wednesday, France's win appeared more comfortable in hindsight than the scoreline suggests.
Goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Michael Olise, and Loic Bade in the second half spared Les Bleus from a potentially embarrassing outcome, and they now look to build momentum from that result in their upcoming match on Saturday.
Thierry Henry's team effectively deflated the Americans with quickfire goals from Lacazette and a spectacular strike from Olise, but defensive lapses remain a concern for the French coach.
After navigating through the pressure of their first match as hosts, France now aims for another win to secure their place in the quarter-finals, regardless of the outcomes in the group's other fixture between New Zealand and the United States.
While Henry's squad is heavily favored for Saturday's match, they must remain cautious of Guinea, who showed resilience despite a 2-1 defeat to New Zealand.
Guinea's Kaba Diawara was disappointed with his team's inability to maintain parity after Amadou Diawara's equalizer, swiftly followed by New Zealand's decisive goal.
As debutants at the Games, Guinea faces a formidable challenge against France, and avoiding defeat in Nice would be viewed as a remarkable achievement, while any positive result would be considered a monumental upset in Olympic football history.
