France continue to make hard work of their qualifying group and find themselves in the likely
position of having to pass a play-off test to make it to South Africa 2010. Barcelona man Thierry
Henry put the home side ahead only for Sevilla defender Julien Escude to score an own goal soon
afterwards to level the game.
France's lineup was something like this:
Gignac
Henry Gourcuff Anelka
Toulalan Diarra
Evra Escude Gallas Sagna
Lloris
With Henry and Anelka, it was a bit like a 4-2-1-3, but it was essentially the France formation
(4-2-3-1).
And although it looks to me like Domenech is picking just about the right players, the team play
is lacking fluidity.
