What Do France Need To Win Their Remaining Matches?

They are capable of winning the next two games without Zidane, But they will not win the world cup without him.
 
to be frank... they didn't lost out to badly last night.. just that they don't have the luck... twice hit the post... i'm sure they can hit back... even without zidane..

France still have a chance to qualify 2nd round. Zidane should be in the field against Denmark (The Dynamite team) and Uruguay if France want to go through.

Zidane could be the difference between winning the world cup or not. BUT with a team boasting all of those other great players, he shouldnt be the difference between qualifying for the second round or not. If France dont qualify for the next round (although i think they will), i really wonder if not having zidane was the problem. Look at the rest of the team, their are some quality players there, it shouldnt come down to relliance on one player, no matter how good he is.

France totally lacked any creativity during the transition from defence to attack, which is exactly what Zidane provides....I would even doubt France's chances of getting out of pool play since they have to play Uruguat next, who in theory are a stronger and more experienced side then Senegal....

Nah Zidane will help them score some goals but if that was the likes of Brazil they played last night (take nothing away from senegal) then they would have got a hiding like 4 or 5 - nil. Ronaldo, Ronaldhino and Rovaldo would have taken that French defence apart they were awful.

do you really want Zizou plays against Uruguay?????
i think you want to see him injured for months

well, that would be a real madrid problem, not mine :)

I don't think it's humanly possible for Zidane to play in the World Cup - if he has a torn muscle, that's at least 5 weeks of recovery time.

Anyways, for France to win, they have to stop choking it when they take shots at the goal. I know they have top quality, but Trezeguet and Henry seriously have only themselves to blame for missing those shots on target.

I think France can take Uruguay and Denmark; but against Senegal, they were really playing against tremendous pressure as champions to win their first game; not to mention the fact that Senegal really wanted that game much more than France did. This really showed in the second half where French players were playing like the game was already lost. I hope for Senegal's sake that they didn't burn themselves out defeating France.

I really don't want Zidane to play against Uruguay. It's only going to make his injury worse and then I'll have all of you over my *** about how Uruguayan players are too agressive.

Anyway, France MUST lose against Uruguay. If they don't, there's just something wrong with the world... :rolleyes: :crazyboy:

The only game I want France to win is against the Danish, nothing personal against Denmark but it would help Uruguay's chances of Qualifying if you lost that match... well... that's all depending on weather we beat France.

What do France need to do in order to win their remaining matches?

2 things...

1. Sack Barthez (Here we go with the Barthez bashing... AGAIN!)

Put simply... he dropped it... didn't he?... and by dropping it, he allowed Papa Bouba Diop (gotta love that name) to score from the limit of Ruud van Nistelrooy's range :D

2. Get Zidane back as quickly as possible

No offense Ruben Sosa, but I think France will crush Uruguay and have a hard game against Denmark but win and qualify. That's just my theory.....
