they just drew with south korea.
theoritically, with zidane balding every passing day, he should have better aerodynamics and thus have a faster pace. but he runs slower than a stationary car.
so yeah.
the answer's no.

jellybean. here's an answer for you. i don't even know why i'm going over and saying this on all those questions about the goal, but anyway.
Vieira shot by was definitely SAVED by woonjae lee. IT WAS NOT A GOAL. You cannot tell how much he's leaning forward behind that goal line by looking at those camera angles they showed.
Referee did not call it a goal. France sure knew it wasn't a goal and did not dispute it.
If you look at fifa official website's news and yahoo sports news, it's clearly saying it was a save and not a "bad call by the ref" or "disputable call".
PLUS it is NOT a goal unless the ENTIRE ball is behind the line.
"30': From an inch-perfect corner-kick, Patrick Vieira powered in a header from close range and must have thought he had scored. However, the scrambling Lee Woon-Jae managed to keep the ball out before it had crossed the line."
"Midfielder Patrick Vieira came close to grabbing a second for the rampaging French in the 31st minute, his goal-bounder header from an inswinging corner from Zinedine Zidane being clawed back by Lee Woon-Jae on the goal line."
I do hope France make it to the next round. I don't wanna see Zidane go like that....

It's possible, Korea will totally get out of group G, France has a good chance, there next game is against Togo, how bad can that be?

Being held to a draw by the Koreans is a huge disappointment for the French team. They look old, tired and frustrated. They are lucky being in their group and would advance to the final 16 but this boring team could go no farther.

I would like France and Korea will get into the next round, and I think it's likely that they will.
Today's game between them was rather exciting, but the passes in the first half weren't too good. When the Koreans caught up in the second half, the excitement accelerated!!!!! And I was just sitting at the edge of my seat!!!!

They may be slipping badly but fortunately no one in their group is performing well.
As long as France beat Togo, which they should do, then they should qualify.

Well, they should do, they only have to beat Togo, and it seems their players are on strike because of issues about pay.
Put it this way, if france don't qualify, they will be the laughing stock of Europe, if not the world!

No they wont.they are not a world cup team that won it in the past,they appear to be playing a lethargic game,the majic is not there,they do need younger players,zadine who is thirty four shoul not be playing in the world cup,france can not live in past glories,they have to move on with younger players in time for the 2010 world cup

No. Just no way. After that performance against South Korea? Zidane got another yellow, so he's out. They'll draw against Togo and will crash out.
