Watch Live Streaming Germany vs Denmark match
However Group II remains wide open, with Denmark leading the group with six points, one ahead of defending champion Germany and two more than Norway and Poland.
France were made to work hard by South Korea, which earlier ousted Spain from the championship to be the only non-European team to make it through to the main round of the competition.
South Korea matched France up until the 34th minute when the score was tied at 16-16. But Michael Guigou, Guillaume Gille and Nikola Karabatic then scored eight straight goals in 13 minutes to subdue the South Korean challenge and take France - unbeaten in seven matches - through to the semifinals.
France coach Thierry Omeyer does not think the run will end there.
"I also expect us to reach the finals as well," Omeyer said.
Meanwhile, Croatia - World Champion in 2003 and Olympic gold medalist in 1996 and 2004 - had a comfortable 31-25 win over Slovakia.
