With an average performance France’s ‘stars’ failed to impress and put the ball in the back of the net even though Uruguay played the last 10 minutes with 10 men.

Reports of a dispute among some players with manager Raymond Domenech had already emerged before the match and seemed to unsettle the French team camp. Chelsea‘s Florent Malouda has had a wonderful season with his club but after publicly criticizing the French Coach the player paid the price by being relegated to the bench.

But with all the international talent and experience within the French team, much more was expected and not delivered.

Not to take anything away from Uruguay, a team that showed strong defence and creativity through their experienced linchpin Diego Forlan. Playing with 10 men for the last 10 minutes of the game Uruguay players showed they were serious about getting through to the next round.

With everyone in the group on a single point it’s all down to which team shows more mettle to get through to the next round.
