Les Bleus can forget to ever win the 2010 World Cup if they played like some 3rd world country during the 0-0 draw against Uruguay in the Group A match on June 11, 2010.
It was dissapointing for Les Bleus fans, but not for me because i am a Brazilian fan!!
During the disastrous 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan, France, the then defending champion started very badly, losing 0-1 to Senegal, before drawing 0-0 with Uruguay and lost to Denmark 0-2 in the final game.
France - the then reigning World Cup champion, exited the 2002 world cup without scoring a goal, earning just 1 point!!! Even the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet could not save the Muskeeters - Les Miserables!!!
In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, France also started badly, drawing 0-0 with Switzerland and 1-1 with South Korea in the first 2 matches. They only earned their tickets to the knock out round after dismantling lowly Togo 2-0. The rest was history, in the knock out stage, France trounced Spain 3-1, Brazil 1-0 and Portugal 1-0 before losing 3-5 on penalties to Italy after the score was deadlocked at 1-1 after extra time.
In the current 2010 world cup in South Africa, France drew 0-0 with their old 2002 nemesis - Uruguay. Remember France also drew 0-0 with Uruguay in the disastrous 2002 world cup. Will history repeat itself?? Les Bleus will be Les Miserables...
