ADELAIDE (Reuters) - France coach Herve Renard has fond memories of managing Morocco's men's soccer team, but when his Les Bleues meet the North African nation in the round of 16 at the Women's World Cup the only thing on his mind will be winning.

"In terms of Morocco, we had prepared for this to happen," Renard told reporters on Monday, on the eve of their game at Hindmarsh Stadium.
