Simple present for unscheduled future events
Can the simple present refer only to scheduled or planned future events ?
If someone asks "Where does the French soccer team go from here ?", after the early exit of the French team from the World Cup, he probably wants to know about the future of the team and not the next tournament fixtures. So would it be grammatically correct ?

Yes, the simple present as future works OK in that sentence. It is used for simple statements about the future: When is sunrise tomorrow? I go to work tomorrow at 7 am as usual.
