judging from their recent form, France will have a tough time progressing from this group. Players like Thuram, Makalele, Zidane will be playing their last tournament. Expect South Korea and Swtzerland to give them a run for their money.
I think, France will top the group, though not convincingly. South Korea will have a difficult time on European soil (no home advantage; although a dutch coach no Hiddink). So Switzerland should progress.
togo: don’t know much about them apart from that they won only 1-0 from Luxembourg recently (luxembourg is team from which you should win at least 4-0)
Switzerland has lost only one game (4-2 Turkey) since they were defeated by France in Euro 2004. With Zidane leading the way for France one last time, they should be considered the favorites with Korea and Switzerland fighting for 2nd place. Togo could also surprise after having qualified ahead of Senegal who beat France in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup. Tradionally, Korea has never played good in European conditions. Home crowd is huge for them.
Korea playing under former dutch coach Advocaat appear to have lost directions. They are losing and drawing friendlies and with an unsettled team everytime.
I think France will easily top the group and match b/w swiss and koreans to decide the second place.
hi guys ..
cissé is remplaced by sidney Govou....
Another important thing, Franck Ribery will be the futur French Foot ball star...he s so brilliant ! to be continued....
whats the logic behind 4-5-1 formation. leaving henry alone at the front isn't going to do anything. henry is a great striker, but he still needs support. u need at least one more striker up there with henry.
