FRANCE IN THE DRIVING SEAT
Group G Initial Results
A late France winner last night stunned South Korea and left les bleus perched on top of Group G. France's performance merited the win though the group favourites will have to work harder against Togo and Switzerland if they are to avoid any slip-ups. South Korea meanwhile will be frustrated after they looked to have earned a draw: they worked tirelessly to contain France's flair players but ultimately could do nothing against a 90th minute wonder goal.
In the other group game, Togo and Switzerland shared the points with an entertaining draw. On this form there looks to be very little between these sides and both look capable of winning on their day. Togo made an encouraging start and got themselves on the scoresheet early, but Switzerland worked hard and kept the scoreline manageable: in the second half it was the Swiss who were brighter while Togo wilted, and the eventual equaliser came as no surprise. Both sides had a chance for a winner but it was not to be and the draw leaves every side in Group G with it all to play for.
