MATCH PREVIEW :
Historians of French football did not have to search too far back in the record books for worrying omens when the World Cup draw was made. In 2002, when les Bleus surrendered their crown in such meek fashion, it was a 0-0 draw in their second game against Uruguay that truly confirmed their fall from grace.
France do not approach the 2010 finals enjoying the lofty status of world beaters, though. In fact, having infamously required a Thierry Henry handball to edge past Republic of Ireland in a play-off and suffered a defeat in a warm-up game against China’s second string, Raymond Domenech’s side look ripe for another early exit in Group A. With Lassana Diarra absent due to injury, and Henry exiled to the bench, France are also grappling with an experimental 4-3-3 formation that is open to exploitation.
In contrast, Uruguay – winners in 1930 and 1950, but competing in only their second finals since 1990 – appear high in confidence, with captain Diego Lugano boasting Oscar Tabarez’s side are hitting their best form. Whether that is enough to take advantage of France’s very evident problems remains to be seen.
Uruguay player in focus: Diego Forlan. Cometh the hour, cometh the man? In recent seasons, Forlan has proved to be the player for the big occasion and in May scored both of Atletico Madrid’s goals in the Europa League final. Forlan top-scored for Uruguay in qualification with seven goals and, in his only match of the 2002 World Cup, netted in a 3-3 draw with Senegal. The striker has reached double figures in each of his past six seasons in Spain.

Fears for France ahead of Uruguay opener
Historians of French football did not have to search too far back in the record books for worrying omens when the World Cup draw was made. In 2002, when les Bleus surrendered their crown in such meek fashion, it was a 0-0 draw in their second game against Uruguay that truly confirmed their fall from grace.France do not approach the 2010 finals enjoying the lofty status of world beaters, though. In fact, having infamously required a Thierry Henry handball to edge past Republic of Ireland in a play-off and suffered a defeat in a warm-up game against China’s second string, Raymond Domenech’s side look ripe for another early exit in Group A. With Lassana Diarra absent due to injury, and Henry exiled to the bench, France are also grappling with an experimental 4-3-3 formation that is open to exploitation.
In contrast, Uruguay – winners in 1930 and 1950, but competing in only their second finals since 1990 – appear high in confidence, with captain Diego Lugano boasting Oscar Tabarez’s side are hitting their best form. Whether that is enough to take advantage of France’s very evident problems remains to be seen.
Uruguay player in focus: Diego Forlan. Cometh the hour, cometh the man? In recent seasons, Forlan has proved to be the player for the big occasion and in May scored both of Atletico Madrid’s goals in the Europa League final. Forlan top-scored for Uruguay in qualification with seven goals and, in his only match of the 2002 World Cup, netted in a 3-3 draw with Senegal. The striker has reached double figures in each of his past six seasons in Spain.
France player in focus: Franck Ribery. The Bayern Munich star missed the Champions League final due to suspension and must be keen to make amends. Ribery was one of the breakthrough stars of the last World Cup but has seen his preparations for the current tournament disrupted by a sex scandal, though he remains a key figure for les Bleus. Raymond Domenech needs Ribery to flourish in an unfamiliar 4-3-3 formation if the country are to enjoy a trouble-free group stage.
Key battle: Luis Suarez v William Gallas. The Uruguay forward is arguably world football’s most in-form player heading into the finals having scored a remarkable 49 goals for Ajax last season. In Gallas, he faces an opponent who has been recovering from injury and has yet to prove he can strike up a productive partnership with Eric Abidal in the heart of Domenech’s defence, but the Frenchman’s form at Arsenal was impressive in the first half of the season.
Trivia: Diego Forlan’s father, Pablo, was named in the Uruguay squads for both the 1966 and 1974 World Cup finals.
Stats: Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan scored 71 goals between them in all competitions last season. France’s five forwards – Thierry Henry, Sidney Govou, Andre-Pierre Gignac, Djibril Cisse and Nicolas Anelka – managed just 59.
Odds: Uruguay (3.50), the draw (3.20), France (2.20) with Bet365. Uruguay to win to nil is 5.50 and may be worth a flutter with France looking unconvincing of late.
Prediction: Uruguay possess some formidable firepower and with France still adjusting to a new formation and struggling for form, we may have an early shock on our hands.
Don’t stereotype us – Tabarez
Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has rubbished his country’s reputation as hatchet men ahead of their World Cup opener against France.Tabarez’s side take on the 1998 champions in Group A at Cape Town’s Green Point Stadium on Friday still with question marks over their discipline.
The recent South American qualification campaign saw them amass 48 bookings and four red cards in 18 games.Indeed, attacking midfielder Cristian Rodriguez was omitted from Tabarez’s squad as he is suspended for two matches following a dismissal in the final qualifier against Argentina.The 1930 and 1950 winners have earned a reputation for gamesmanship over the years through some memorably defensive and physical performances and courtesy of the likes of Paolo Montero, the notoriously aggressive former national team lynchpin.Tabarez insists it is unfair to stereotype his team, however.”I think almost all of the squads (in qualifying) had a number of red and yellow cards. Some, in fact, have far more than we did,” he said. “Some of them are also here in South Africa.
“I knew this question would be asked at some point. I expected it.”I’m happy to say that on March 3 this year we went for a friendly in Switzerland. We won there and Switzerland, who are also here, were given five yellow cards and we were given none.”So we’re talking about football here and I don’t think it is right to interpret with a bias.”We shouldn’t link that to mistakes Uruguay made (in the past) when playing football.”Tabarez – whose side’s arrival in Cape Town was delayed for four hours by aeroplane engine problems – added: “We have been respectful to all FIFA’s fair play rules, from timetables and schedules to everything.

Throughout the World Cup qualifiers, Henry became associated with some sort of dubious goal, which in turn aided France to qualify. Malouda had a lengthy spell from the French Soccer group.

Malouda’s worldwide career under Domenech could’ve been to be done when he criticized the team methods following France’s uncomfortable European Championship performance 24 months before, from where the squad failed out during the team stages. Regardless of the actual restrictions imposed upon Malouda, this individual found him self closely criticized by Domenech. Malouda responded by simply hammering back some choice issues of his own. This individual had been eventually dropped for the seven of the 10 World Cup qualifiers. At the present, Domenech at last would seem inclined to perform to the team’s attacking advantages in preference to carrying on with the actual pursuit of defensive firmness which demonstrated so elusive. He has switched to the 4-3-3 combination together with Malouda over the left of midfield. Looks like the opening day’s second match will probably be interesting to relax and watch.

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has warned group A competitors France the fact that his group fully have in mind winning their 2010 FIFA World Cup opener on June eleven. Uruguay superstar player at World Cup 2010 is undoubtedly Diego Forlan. He has carved an important reputation as 1 of Europe’s best strikers, regularly finding the net for Villarreal and in addition latterly Atlético Madrid, finishing as top scorer in the Primera Liga and succeeding the European Golden Boot 2 times. The second Uruguay do get ahead, they trigger opposing defences almost all type of issues as their own dangerous striking duet realize how to exploit gaps in support not to mention place themselves straight to scoring positions.
Uruguay undoubtedly are a confidence side along with when they really do not place a brilliant start in South African then uncertainties will start to find their way in.
