They reached the final of the last world cup and much was expected from France in South Africa. Yet, France has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The French squad has found it hard to get along with their coach Raymond Domenech from the beginning and this resulted in a lot of drama off the field which spoiled the squad’s team spirit.
France fielded a new line up against the South Africans. There was no Ankela who was sent home on disciplinary grounds, their captain Patrick Evra was on the bench because he took up for Ankela and Thierry Henry was not good enough to find a place in the starting eleven.
To make matters worse, early in the first half Yoan Gourcuff received a red card and got sent off, leaving France with just 10 men. The South Africans went all out and played an aggressive game scoring two goals in the first half. |
