LONDON: France won the World Cup in 1998, then was eliminated after the first round four years later. This time round, the French are scrambling just to qualify for the 2006 Finals.
France have 10 points from six matches and lie in fourth place in Europe's Group 4. They host minnows Faroe Islands in Lens today, then travel to Dublin to face Ireland next Wednesday. Ireland, the group leaders, have three more points than France but have played an extra game and are idle today.
