Togo v France | Switzerland v South Korea

[Benitez]

as it stands:

 

1 Switzerland 2 1 1 0 2 0 2 4

2 South Korea 2 1 1 0 3 2 1 4

3 France 2 0 2 0 1 1 0 2

4 Togo 2 0 0 2 1 4 -3 0

 

 

Hopefully that'll make these 2 games pretty good

 

From the BEEB:

 

Progress Possibilities

 

Togo are eliminated and only have pride to play for against France.

 

France need to win by at least a two goal margin to be certain of reaching the next round. A victory with a margin of one goal may not be enough, if South Korea draw with Switzerland. If the tiebreakers 'goal difference' or 'goals scored' are not decisive, the drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the World Cup will decide who reaches the last 16.

I'd love it if France went out.

[Guest Sabre]

Ah well. I got really good odds a week ago on S Korea to win the group. I've just hedged it with some other bets on France and Switz.

 

Also put £10 on France to win by 2 goals or more.

 

I think the only way that can happen is if France draw nil nil or something..

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I'd love it, if this came to drawing lots

[DonRafa]

Hope France go thru, for their national anthem if nothing else. Its the best in the world!

[Red_Rob]

France are so breath-takingly s****. Domenech must be the only manager to out stupid Eriksson.

I love hearing that anthem, it's great. But I like La Marcha Real, Spain's anthem as well

 

I want France to go through, I like France, although the way they are going, I don't hold out much hope, think they have feced up big style!

[surf]

I'd love it, if this came to drawing lots

 

And France lost

[BDB]

Ribery is getting in great positions but he's skied 2 or 3 clear chances..

 

 

finally after good running by Ribery..

Viera scores on his bday

I carn't recall the Spanish anthem - I'll listen out for it

 

 

Agree about France feccing up - and now their anxiety is making them miss good scoring chances .I fear the game's up for them if they don't score soon.

They need a StevieG - big heart - never say die sorta player!

 

Ah, thats better - Paddy just scored a b'day goal. Vive La France!

[Ginu]

Ribery's finishing is shocking Vieira saved his a$$

[Benitez]

Mark Bright - not bright by name is he, talking absolute chite this game he is.

 

DonRafa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcha_Real - there is a midi-file down the bottom there with a very cheesy version of the Spanish anthem

 

Anyway, comeon now France!

[BDB]

that's the henry we all know..

2-0 France.

 

 

Great work by Viera to head it down for him

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Come on Corea.
