France

France had to do it in the qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2010 Group 7 with Serbia, Austria, Romania, Lithuania and the Faroe Islands. The Equipe tricolore finished behind Serbia on second place and thus went in the play-off. In the course of this the side of coach Raymond Domenech met Ireland. After the 1-0 in Dublin France achieved a fortunate 1-1 in the second leg in order to qualify for South Africa.

The FIFA World Cup 2010 is altogether the 13th tournament with French participation. The first time France startet at the WC 1930, but already quit in the group stage. The best result achieved "Les Bleus", which six times didn't qualify for the main event, in 1998 in their home country by winning the title - not at least thanks to a super performance by Zinedine Zidane.
