France - South Africa

Match 34 - Group A - 22 June

Oh dear, what is going on with France. A former World Cup winner, but now on a serious bender. First their constant losing streak. Then the problems within the team. Then there is the vendetta between the French sports press and the trainer. Then the imminent elimination from the World Cup.

If that was not enough, one of their key players verbally attacked the trainer. A mole leaked this info to the press, even Sarkozy had to interfere (from Russia !!). Then the players went on strike, and the head of the French football delegation resigned.

Can it be any worse? Yes, France could lose to South Africa without scoring a single goal. Personally we don't think it will be that bad. We think the French will take their pride, and get a reasonable result. So that they can still go back with a little bit of dignity.

Our prediction : France 2 - South Africa 1

If somebody wants to put a little wager on France boycotting the last game: I heard they are taking 100/1 . Maybe interesting to put a few bob on that option?
