France, altought it has not too many expectative, it could be very competitive in this world cup.\nIt has very good players, and cause zidane is retiring from futbol (soccer) in this cup, maybe the team will give something extra when they play. \nFrance has been a lot of times in the world cup, they also won a cup in France 98, against Brazil in the final\n\nArgentina, has a very good team, there are a lot of good players, has a very competitive team. But, the big problem is that they are in the death group, and is very hard to say what will happen. \nAs an extra tip, Maradona, their biggest star from all times said that the people should not have too much expectatives about their team.\nAlso, Argentina have been in a lot of world cups, always arriving with lot nof expectatives, and has 2 world cups in his power.\n\nEcuador, we have to see. They have a very competitive team. Almost all the starting team have been playing together for about 8 years, so it will be interesting. \nIt has to play against Germany (it will be hard, but at the match time, Germany will probably be classified to the next round), Poland (the harder game) and Costa Rica (almost the same level, so its hard to say who will win) \nEcuador has classified for first time to Korea Japan 2002 world cup. In the world cup, it beated Croatia, and lost against Mexico and Italy

I have the greatest respect for Zidane. I have closely monitored his game and in my opinion he is not only a good football player, but also a gentleman. I applaude his idea to retire when the ovation is loudest. Not every football player does that. If not for him France probably would not have qualified for the world cup. He is also the type of player that gives his best whether during club or national engagement. He takes his profession seriously and the world sure has a lot to learn from such an icon.

Zinedine Zidane for sure the man is gifted it runs in his blood. Zizou biensure, la preuve il joue pour 2 equipes (france et real madrid), et je pense que c l'1 des footballerus les mieu payey au monde.

The French have all the skill they need but like Real Madrid they don't work as a team. If there coach drummed it into them they would be able to go further. They need to at least get into the 2nd round as a send off for what would be one of football's all time greats Zidane. As everyone knows got booked for a second time and now won't play again unless France make it to the 2nd round. The way their playing at the momen't Zidane will be saying goodbye from the sideline's.

I think Ronaldinho will be the player of the tournament.\n\nOther players to look out for are Henry of France, Rooney of England, Deco of Portugal, Riquelme of Argentina.

This was definitely his last game....he got a second yellow card, so he's definitely missing their next game assuming they get through.  this is Zidane's last world cup though, he's retiring after this.....

Agree with u. But zidane is now gone. So maybe midfield is not really best for france.

You WON'T!!! Every time they will get a corner... they will put a shop on it... (France has a player of Indian origin, in it's currant world cup squad)

They will defantly get to the 1st Round.Their group is pretty easy.Henry is going to score like crazy while Zidane is going to give it his all since he is retiring after the WC.They might run in to Spain in the 1st round but that is doubtfull.I'm not sure if they will win the 2nd game but they should get there at least.

Zinedin Zidane has been top player for the FRENCH team and for Real, Madrid and will retire after the World Cup. He has never played on the German team

My money's on the following quarter final line-up:\n\nGermany vs. Argentina\nItaly vs. Ukraine\nEngland vs. Portugal\nBrazil vs. Spain\n\nIf France start playing a bit more like the side we were all hoping and expecting to see then maybe they'll be there instead of Spain, but I'm not hopeful.

no no there is a confusion. Zidane got the Golden ball award. Cannavaro is in the lead to win the Ballon d'Or award, he is just ahead of Buffon who also might take it. But Cannavaro has a better chance. We will not know the result until November 27th

Ribery can be quite good when used correctly as the France did vs Spain. They had Zidane just sit back, conserve energy, and feed passes while Ribery made runs to free people up and create goal scoring opertunities. This is really the optimal strategy for France since Zidane needs to conserve energy because when people get tired their precision becomes much worse, and since Zidane is old, he gets tired much quicker. Ribery on the other hand is young and doesnt get tired quickly. With Zidane making his precise passes, he isn't needed to do that so they have him running around tiring out the other team's midfeilders. The problem with answering this question at this time is that we havent really seen Ribery do that much. Sure he scored a goal, but it was a 1 on 1 with the goalie wich any world class player will make. Sure he pressured alot, and made some good steals, but any player his age with good stamina will do the same. The one thing we can comment on is he made some good runs. During the Spain game he was always in the right place at the right time, and gave Zidane several opertunities to free him on a through ball. Howerver, I want to see Ribery try to fill the role that Zidane does as the playmaker on the team before I pass judgement on him.

Zidane. He led France but to the Finals. But what he did was foolish. But i will still vote for him. Cannavaro is not the only one who led Italy to the final. Cuz Italy defenders are strong. Not only him. But for France, ZIdane is the most influncing Play maker.
