KNYSNA (South Africa): France needs a convincing win over Uruguay on Friday at the World Cup to stop the mounting criticism of coach Raymond Domenech’s beleaguered team from escalating.
Unloved by its demanding fans, criticizsd by its angry politicians, and lacking both confidence on the field and a clear tactical direction on how to play, France is in disarray with three days to go until the Uruguay game. Domenech needs to figure out whether to stick to his newly adopted 4-3-3 system, or switch back to a more defensive line-up.
