FRANCE FANS - PLAN YOUR 2010 WORLD CUP TRIP & FOLLOW THE TEAM

of Ireland to make it into the 2010 World Cup.
The French become a real number one seed with their draw into this group.
Les Bleus should get a opportunity to get back to the World Cup final
again by winning this group. France did not score a lot of goals in qualifying,
but also play a mean defensive game.
