France Might Pack And Leave Very Soon

Former world champions France didn`t manage to get their first victory in Germany 2006 when South Korea didn`t give up and kept a 1 ? 1 score with the French. The team that won World Cup 1998 is not able to shake their `World Cup curs`. Henry scored for France with the first World Cup goal in 8 years, and things were looking good, but on the 81st minute Park managed to surrender Barthez and the score was 1-1 until the finish.

After two games, France only has 2 points and if they will not be able to win over Togo on their next match ? that`s it for them. France is in a very difficult position and they might be leaving before the second stage for their second World Cup in a row.

South Korea has 4 points and looks like their ticket for the second round of Germany 2006 is guaranteed. South Korea will face Sweden on their last game for the groups stage on June 23rd and then we will now the final standing of Group G. France was supposed to have an easy ride to the second stage with South Korean, Togo and Switzerland considered to be less skillful then the French. With soccer, you never know.
