Can Zidane inspire France to World cup glory once again?

Sure why not? He is a good bald striker/ player!

i know.. it made me very sad when he got that yellow card against korea... he didnt diserve it all... Zidane has always been one of my favorite players, and is a true futbol icon... i do believe that he will get to play one more game in this cup in the round of 16... france will probably be able to beat togo tommorow, but theyll need switzerland to lose... yet i doubt france will get pass the round of 16 though...

its very possible with henry scoring goals and zidane contolling a game like he can, they are one of my few favorites to win this year

tu as raison la france ne pense qu' a zidane et ils oublient des autres excellents (henry ribery) c' est pour ca que les joueurs sont moins bons en équipes nationnales !!!

Perhaps, but it definitely won't be easy. So far Ronaldo and Ronaldinho have barely shown up, and have only recently begun to fire up. It doesn't mean it will last, esp. with France also heating up and England potentially in Brazil's path...Brazil may win, but it will be an ugly fight to the trophy.

I really do not know why they haven't. but one thing is sure, Brazil do have a great team any day any time. The reason it could go their way this time is that they are ranked the best in the world, presently. Secondly, they have character and the discipline to win it in Germany. But i do know that they have the home team to contend with. Nevewrtheless, they have done it several times outside home.\n\nThis world cup might not be different from France 98.

Not this year. Brazil is an unstoppable power-house. They have the best team they've had in years- and that's saying a lot ! Germany may have a chance with home turf advantage, but I don't think its enough to pull through to a championship. I think this world cup is a start of a whole new dynasty of Brazilian domination.

1986, Quarter Final, France 4:3 Penalty Kicks\n1998, Final, France 3-0\n2006...with the amazing French defense, and Ribery, Vieira, Trezeguet, Zidane, that will be hard for Brazil. It seems that they have a hard time playing France usually anyway. I'd say France will win, very tight.\nFinal Germany-France\nLes Bleus!

Yes they can. They have a very solid team with the likes of Viduka, Bresciano, and Grella just to name a few. They are fundamentally sound with players that play all over Europe. Brazil will obviously be their toughest game, but they can definitely beat Croatia and Japan. They can definitely make a good run, but in the end I don't think they have enough to win the World Cup.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they make it this time.\nLast time in Germany, they were the great favorites, became complacent and arrogant, which finally cost them the title. \nThis time, no one has them on their cards although they seem to be quite sharp this time.\nSo why not? After all, they already won something in Germany when they became European Champion in 88.

Yes. Zidane's last game will not be from the bench. Domenech will (hopefully) line henry up with trezeguet. They'll finally work well together and score 2 goals at least. They only need a 2-0 victory to advance (They would tie the Swiss on GD, that is, if the Swiss and S. Korea tie, otherwise any win does it) and it can be done. Hopefully Ribery wont be so damn nervous.

Oh my !!! Your so funny . How can you even think of it this way ?\nI ask you ... will they score a goal in World Cup 2006 ? \n\nFact : France havent scored a goal in World Cup's since 1998 Finals ( 3-0 vs Brazil in Paris ) .

Every World Cup there seems to be a surprise.  This time it will be no different.  I remember when Cameroon upset Argentina in Italia 90.  Then Nigeria had a good run in USA 94.  In France 98, Senegal started off the festivities by defeating host France by the minimal difference 1-0.  I believe the African team with the best chances of being successful in Germany 06 is Ivory Coast.  Even though they are located in the "Group of Death" alongside Argentina, Holland and Serbia, players like Didier Drogba have the talent and skill to provide some wonderful moments.  The action is right around the corner.  I can't wait any longer.

I will go for Germany. France may need to buck up. As zidane the play maker had retired. Italy is a team which is not consistent. They had lost to France in the euro qualifying which doubt their world cup champion.
