Can France do it for a Second Time in the World Cup?The FrenchNational soccer team has been one of the few teams in the FIFA WorldCup campaigns that has had an extremely talented team with very fewresults to show for. Their only World Cup success came in 1998 when theWorld Cup was being hosted by the French and they went onto beat theformer World Cup champions Brazil 3-0 in the final match. Apart fromthis sole tournament victory 12 years ago the French World Cup hopeshave run dry every time. In fact, this is only the first time in FIFAWorld Cup history that the French national team has qualified for theFIFA World Cup tournament four times in a row.Even though theFrench national team hasn't won as many World Cup tournaments as someof the other teams, they've always posed a threat and looked like ateam which may lift the Cup. The closest they came to victory was inthe last FIFA World Cup tournament in 2008 where they lost to Italy inthe finals during the penalty shootouts.Their road to thisyear's World Cup wasn't as glamorous as Brazil's but they did the jobwhich was needed to be done, which was to qualify for the World Cup.Many would say that the team may not win this year's cup based on theirpre-World Cup campaign but even before the last World Cup in Germanythe French had flirted with disaster before being qualified and thenthey went on to reach the finals and almost lift the Cup for the secondtime.The team maybe missing some of their most famous playersof the last decade such as Zinedine Zidane, Lilian Thuram, ClaudeMakelele and goalkeeper Fabien Barthez but there are a new set ofsenior players who've taken up the responsibility needed to guide thenewer players. The hopes of the French people will be resting heavilyon the sole survivor from their 1998 World Cup triumph, Theirry Henry,who will also be the captain for this French national team. AlongsideHenry will be Patrick Vieira who has recently gotten over his longdrawn injury issues. The midfield will be taken care of by LassanaDiarra and Jeremy Toulalan while William Gallas will be a strong forceat the back.Raymond Domenech, who has now become the longestserving French National soccer team coach, will be hoping that thisWorld Cup campaign will be the time when he lifts his first cup sincehe took up the job in 2004. The coach who came into the team with a lotof public support in 2004 has seen the support die out after the teamfailed to perform well in the 2008 UEFA Euro Cup.The World Cup bettingodds don't really favor the French but that is no different from thelast World Cup where they surprised all the bookies by reaching thefinals. The current World Cup betting odds places France on the 8thposition with odds of 20/1. These World cup betting odds are updateddaily depending on team results and performances.Finally comingdown to the group that the French have been placed in, the Les Bluesfind themselves in a comfortable group which comprises of Mexico, hostsSouth Africa and underdogs Uruguay. While Mexico is a strong opponentwhich might pose problems for the French during their encounter on the17th of June, the other two teams don't seem to pose any grave threats.However, each team which has qualified for the World Cup has enoughpotential to upset any team in the tournament and that is why theFrench will not be taking South Africa and Uruguay very lightly andwill try their best to win these games with their best players on thefield.The French national team will kick start their FIFA Worldcup campaign on the 11th of June when they play against Uruguay in CapeTown.Ready to get into the World Cup betting action?
