qualification game for the
World Cup 2010 against
Romania, on
Saturday, 9p.m.: That's to win. If the players of coach Raymond Domenech want to move up directly into the main draw in
South Africa, they have to aim for a victory at the
Stade de France, because only the winners of the qualification groups advance without any play offs.
The Bleus, so they are named in France, will miss their normal captain. Patrick Vieira, the international of Inter Milan, hasn't been nominated for the matchs against Romania and the second one against Serbia in Belgrade on Wednesday. However, Hugo Lloris will receive again the confidence of Raymond Domenech. The goalkeeper of Lyon had already played in the last qualification game against the Faroe Islands.
In the first match, the team of France equalized a catastrophic beginning, as Romania had scored two goals in the first 17 minutes, and played 2:2 due the goals of Franck Ribéry and Yoann Gourcuff. At the moment the team tricolor is on the second place in the
qualification group 7 with 13 points, behind the leader Serbia, who has one game more and 18 points.
