Recently, temperatures in Boston, where the French team was preparing, continued to rise, while Philadelphia, where the team arrived later on Friday morning local time, was even hotter.

On Saturday, the day before the match against Paraguay, at 11 PM French time and 5 PM US local time, the temperature in the shade in Philadelphia will reach 38℃. At that time, the French team will train at the home stadium of local American football powerhouse the Philadelphia Eagles.

Amid such high temperatures, the local government has issued a heat warning, and Philadelphia has been designated an "extreme risk" area. The large parade commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence, originally scheduled for Saturday, July 4, has been canceled, but the fireworks display on Saturday night will proceed as planned.

Match day is expected to be 36℃

However, the French team will miss this fireworks show entirely, as they will have to return to the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Boston after the match. Before celebrating a victory (if they win), they must first endure a "hot steamer" at Lincoln Financial Field – the expected temperature at the stadium that day is 36℃, with 40% humidity.

The sky will be slightly cloudy, but unlike the torrential rain against Iraq, both players and spectators will this time face conditions with no shaded areas in the stands. In addition, there will be a gentle breeze, whose hair-drying effect will remind the French players of the scorching summer in their home capital.
