Thailand manager Nualphan Lamsam poses with her players at Suvarnabhumi airport on Monday. A late rally from France in the second half helped the women's World Cup hosts to overcome a stiff challenge from Thailand to win 3-0 in a warm-up match in Orleans on Saturday. Midfielder Elise Bussaglia opened the scoring on the hour mark from a short corner routine that Thailand failed to clear. France play one more warm-up game, against China on Friday, before kicking off their World Cup campaign on June 7 against South Korea. Thailand, who have qualified for their second World Cup, play defending champions United States on June 11.
