France v Mexico Match Preview

Watch France vs Mexico Live Streams

After Day 1 saw all four teams in Group A clinch only a single points, the situation is the same in the table. But with only two match-days to go, things have turned out to be very much crucial. France and Mexico will battle it out at 18:30 GMT on Thursday, June 17. Both sides are keen to make this encounter count.
France's Thierry Henri and Florent Malouda celebrating.France Want To Do, Not Die

Like they did in Germany 2006, France kicked off their 2010 World Cup campaign unconvincingly, managing only a goalless draw against 10-man Uruguay in their opening game. Les Bleus have been suffering from the squad’s internal problem concerning the unity in the team between players and the coach.

Back home, French fans are on their feet, waiting for the country’s national football team to live up to expectations. Failing to lose once again on Thursday night will not only stretch France’s winless run to three games, but also ring the alarm Les Bleus. Barcelona’s Eric Abidal is well aware of how important his side’s battle against Mexico will be. The defender explained:


“We have to play for a win and nothing else than a win against Mexico. In 2006, the situation was the same. We drew 0-0 with Switzerland to begin our campaign. But slowly, though confidently, we recorded victories over victories. It’s imperative for us to step it up and thus make it to the next round.”

Mexico Are Equally Determined

El Tri wonderfully denied the 2010 World Cup’s hosts South Africa from kicking off the competition with a victory. The Mexicans displayed good techniques on the ball and looked dangerous throughout the match against Bafana Bafana. Giovanni dos Santos was near perfection with his explosive runs that certainly reminded people of the world’s former best player Ronaldinho. By staying true to themselves, Mexico should be able to get a result against France’s Les Bleus. Mexico's Rafael Marquez celebrates with Giovanni dos Santos.

That’s something that striker Carlos Vela is targeting. Speaking to the media, the young forward revealed his thoughts:

“We always thought we could win all three matches before the first game. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Now, we can’t make any excuses. We have to win, whether we play against France or another side.

“My opinion is that we need to think about doing our work and rather free our minds from what France are going to do. After all, we know that we have an excellent team and that we can win.”

Echoing Carlos Vela’s statement Rafael Marquez, who clinched Mexico’s equalizer against South Africa, stated:

“I guess the match against France will need to be approached as such. I think it’s decisive. We must do our best to get the three points in order to move forward. As we would be aware of the result between South Africa and Uruguay, we will be forced to look more for the win. I think that will be good in a sense to know the outcome of that game and prepare well for the match against France.

“We know the power and they quality the French posses. At any given time, they can turn the game around. They have great players with great qualities. We can’t build our confidence on the fact that they haven’t scored yet, because they know that they have the quality to do so.

“In the World Cup, there are one or two chances. Our mission is to put at least one of them away, so that we can have the advantage. We are aware of that and we are working so that when we have one, we can put it away.”

Who will emerge victorious from this must-win battle?

Match Preview Of Honduras vs Chile

Chile will have an easy debut to show Spain how tough group's leadership is going to be. Nelspruit will host the last match of the first round, in which Marcelo Bielsa can add another victory to his wide World Cup's career.

Latin American's brotherhood will temporarily be forgot be these two combatants, as both Chile and Honduras are part of one of the toughest groups around. Having never faced each other in a world championship, their realities are completely different: Honduras showed their lack of experience will be their main enemy in the fields, particularly considering David Suazo is nos yet fully recovered for the match, seriously weakening it's team offensive. Marcelo Bielsa and his reds need a victory to boost their confidence and claim their ticket for the next stage... will they make it?

The long and winding road

Reinaldo Rueda's boys will have to show the last weeks of training have polished the many imperfections the team had during the qualifying stages. Honduras is having problems in both fronts, receiving a goal and a half on average during the last 6 games and wasting most of their opportunities to score. Without Suazo to make the trick in the last meters it will be tough for them to break Chile's sturdy back line.

Rueda's ace up his sleeve will undoubtedly be Rambo de León's prowess in the free kicks. His finesse and depth of play offer an offensive variant to the squad against a rival not known by its aerial play. Team's coach will have to come up with new offensive ideas considering Wilson Palacios' recent muscular injury that might keep him away from the fields. Danilo Turcios and Amado Guevara will be in charge of controlling midfield's ball flow, and the latter is one of the few players with experience against La Roja, having scored a decisive goal the last time these two teams faced each other.

Considering Spain is waiting ahead, Honduras know a defeat at the debut will have them packing in advance. How to combine a solid defense with a sharp offense will be the enigma team's coach will have to answer by Wednesday.

The quest for glory

Marcelo Bielsa has completely changed Chile's image to the world, for only once has the Roja been able to advance to the stage of sixteen, and everything appears to be pointing forwards for this Wednesday's match, in which the Chileans will have to show their expertise and demonstrate they're ought to be taking seriously in this competition. The last friendly matches have shown their offensive at their best, while their goal remained shut thanks to team's captain and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Zaragoza's Humberto Suazo will most likely watch this game from the bench, as the different physical problems he has experienced in South Africa might give Jean Beausejour an opportunity to join Alexis Sanchez in the last meters. Beausejour is still in debt with Marcelo Bielsa, having been able to score a single goal in 26 matches wearing its National Football Team colors.

One of Chile's main historic problems has been their weak midfield, always lacking a solid presence in the center of the field from to whom the rest of the players could find their place in the field. Mauricio Isla is one of the main pillars of Chile's new generation. He declared regarding Bielsa's work "He has taught us a lot of things about football, like how to play and move as a unit and defend as a team. It's all down to him". Bielsa's experience with Argentina in World Championships might better be forgotten. Nevertheless this might be his time to change the course of history and grab destiny by the horns.

Alexis "Wonder kid" Sanchez will be decisive for Chile to claim the three points. Without team's top striker, Sanchez will have to put most of team's offensive on his back to lead Chile towards victory. "We want to be world champions. We know that we have the chance this year and that's the target we've set ourselves" he declared regarding this first match. Honduras' fragile back line might offer many opportunities for Sanchez to show his expertise and entice Europe's giants to lure him to the most challenging football. Nevertheless he is happy with his performance in Udinese Calcio, where he has the space to make the most out of his individual capabilities.

The last time these two teams faced each other, Honduras surprised everyone with a 2-0 victory. In the last five friendly matches the central American squad could only score two goals, losing three games and drawing in two occasions. Two missing Suazos will be the trademark of this clash, in which one team might be left empty handed from the very beginning.

Brazil v North Korea Match Preview

Brazil's debut match will have Dunga's squad take on an inexperienced Asiatic team. Jogo Bonito versus Eastern wisdom at the Ellis Park late this Tuesday, who will claim the victory?

Group G's first matchday will face one of the deadliest squads in this competition against Korea's rookies, whose only competition in a World Championship left quite a bitter aftertaste 44 years ago. The Brazilians have performed in every competition and the weight of experience might crush upon Kim Jong Hun's squad. Much more than three points will be in play in a group that might surprise everyone. Dunga's confidence is sky high: it's been 76 years since Brazil lost a debut match in a world championship (back in 1934 against Langara's Spain), having won 14 games and tying on two occasions.

Don't stop dancing

Much has changed for the Verdeamarelhos under Dunga's command, but the level of their football has retained their characteristic superiority against almost every opponent. After a harsh beginning in the qualifying stages, Brazil claimed the top of the CONMEBOL Qualifying Stages having scored 33 goals while receiving only 11.

The main characteristic of Dunga's strategy is the consistency and interaction between all eleven players. Julio Cesar's gloves secure Brazil's goal, and their defense is one of the toughest ones in South Africa. Lucio and Luisao are the kind of player every coach ever fantasizes with, providing security in the back line, quality in their shots and most importantly, absolute aerial's leadership. Maicon has been a key player for Internazionale to claim three titles in the last season, having relegated Daniel Alves to the bench. Alves declared he can assume every position in the field; a player of his level is not used to watching the match from the bench, and particularly not one as prolific as Alves, whose finesse as a gunner has been fundamental for the Verdeamarelhos to reach this stage as one of the favorites.

Gilberto Silva and Felipe Melo will have to act as bridges between Brazil's defense and their efficient strikers. Kaka has to shadow the many doubts arisen after his poor performance with Real Madrid, while Elano (Dunga's favorite as it seems) will have to demonstrate he actually deserves a place within the starting eleven. These four players offer Brazil everything that could be asked: speed, technique, stamina and a deep understanding of what football is all about. Brazil's 4-4-2 formation might be lacking the presence of an offensive lighthouse, someone to make all these stars play at their best, but against Korea it seems they will be able to find their spaces themselves.

If all of this was not enough, Robinho and Luis Fabiano's sheer weight in the last meters of the field might prove determinant. Thanks to Robinho Santos conquered its first Paulista Championship in over 20 years when aged only 15. Now, with 11 additional years of experience he managed once again to lift the title with its team. Luis Fabiano has been Sevilla's monster, scoring 15 goals in only 22 matches. Nonetheless both players have always performed better for their countries than their clubs,

Robinho has been part of Dunga's strategy from the very beginning, missing only the last three qualifying matches, when Brazil's ticket four South Africa was already secured. In 73 matches with the Verdeamarelho Robinho scored 26 goals. The last friendly matches have shown Robinho's best, scoring three goals in two matches and demonstrating he is going through a renaissance back in his home club.

The unknown Squad

Between 1950 and 1953 Korea was caught between the interests of the two world potencies of the Cold War, and from such clash of interests South Korea and North Korea were born. South Korea became a presidentialist republic while their northern partners took on socialism. Only 13 years after its creation, North Korea qualified for 1966's world championship, but from that moment on something has kept the country from participating again in world's toughest competition. 40 years of experience, training and determination should have seriously strengthen their confidence, though they'll have to face a giant on such a promising debut.

As always, there's a figure that offers hope and something to hold on to team's followers, and this time it's Jong Tae-Se (considered for some as the Asiatic Rooney). Owner of an endless stamina and a miraculous right foot, this young striker declared they have a "spirit similar to the Germans. We're brave, we can defeat Brazil". but this will prove to be an herculean task. Luckily Tae-se will count with Hong Yong-jo assistance, team's captain and top striker. He is one of the few players that play outside Korea, in a squad where 85% of the players come from their own domestic league. Thanks to him Kim Jong-Hun can adopt a 4-5-1 formation, which might vary to a 4-4-2 formation when needed thanks An Chol-Hyok's offensive firepower, scorer of 7 goals in 17 matches.

44 years ago, Korea eliminated Italy and had Eusebio's Portugal jeopardized until the last minute, and it would not be wise not to take them for granted, as little is known about their players in the western hemisphere. Their wits have already been shown when team's coach named within their three goalkeepers Kim Myong-Won, who performs regularly as a striker for Amrokgang, as he did during the three matches in which he wore his Team's National Football colors.. Nevertheless he would only be able to play as a goalie, as a recent FIFA declaration assured.

Little is known about North Korea, and their first match will face them against a team as fearsome as one can be. Will they be able to weave their mysteries around Brazil's intergalactic players?

Ivory Coast v Portugal Match Preview

Cote d’Ivoire and Portugal will open the 2010 World Cup’s ‘Group of Death’ Group G with a match at 14:00 on Monday, June 15. This encounter comprises a lot of interesting factors.

Cote d'Ivoire's players planning together.Among those is Cristiano Ronaldo’s obsession to take the headlines by storm and Cote d’Ivoire’s possible sweet relief as an African nation looking to upset either favorites Portugal or favorites Brazil to eventually reach the last 16 of the tournament.

The 2010 World Cup, This Time For Africa?

Well, only the Black Stars of Ghana have managed to shake the earth of the Black Continent so far with their famous 1-0 victory against one of Europe’s best defensive side, Serbia. South Africa was on the verge of creating a perfect new page in history when they came up against Mexico to open the 2010 World Cup tournament. But disappointingly, they conceded an equalizer and were therefore denied from celebrating a victory.

Nigeria followed with a 1-0 loss to Argentina. That defeat was a narrow one and their goalkeeper would have to be credited for putting a man-of-the-match performance which prevented the Albicelestes from drowning the Super Eagles with a flood of goals. Either way, Nigeria lost only to be judged by the numerous overconfident statements they had been making since December 2009.

Algeria also went down to Slovenia in what looked like a balanced game and thus gave way for Ghana to become the first African nation to win a game at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Now with Cameroon also losing against Japan on Monday, pro-African fans are starting to wonder about the fate of the continent’s six representatives.

Cote d’Ivoire certainly have the toughest mission among African teams with the likes of Portugal, Brazil, and underdogs Korea DPR aiming to challenge them in Group G. Cote d’Ivoire’s match against the Portuguese is a crucial one, and one that will surely give early details about the Elephants’ destiny during South Africa 2010. 90 minutes of football are there to be played; will the Ivoirians be outplayed instead during this period?
Will Didier Drogba’s absence or presence have an enormous impact on the Drogba in with his arm in a cast.match?

Cristiano Ronaldo’s fierce rival Didier Drogba became part of the 2010 World Cup’s long injury list comprising star names when his arm broke during Cote d’Ivoire’s friendly match against Japan on June 4. Didier Drogba is the skipper of the Ivory Coast and his talismanic influence in football has mainly been felt in Chelsea, his club football team.

The father of four enjoyed his best ever year last season as he helped the Blues to an historic double in England. It will be disappointing for the man who is arguably the world’s finest striker at the moment to endure a miserable 2010 FIFA World Cup campaign. Drogba’s injury has been Cote d’Ivoire’s main concern lately. Coach Sven Goran-Eriksson commentated on the issue on Monday, saying:

Didier Drogba, who attended his team’s training session on Monday afternoon, might be forced to play with a cast on his arm. In any case, defender Kolo Toure is certain that the Elephants will be able to battle it out with or without the squad’s talisman.

Sven Goran Eriksson in front of the media.Cote d’Ivoire and the Sven Goran Eriksson Factor

When Portuguese fans think about Cote d’Ivoire’s Coach Sven Goran Eriksson, they should remember that this is the man who failed to guide his former side England to victory past Portugal in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Carlos Queiroz’s men may therefore fear Sven Goran Eriksson but the Swedish manager has avowed that he will not be driven by any kind of revenge task to beat Portugal on Tuesday.
Ironically, Sven Goran Eriksson and Portugal’s skipper Cristiano Ronaldo share the same birthday date as they were both born on February 5.
Cristiano Ronaldo Dreaming To ExplodeCristiano Ronaldo's latest press conference, Ronaldo answers the media.

Talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the side had to endure tough moments with the Portuguese media at times for one reason; the prolific Real Madrid and former Manchester United goal scorer has not netted a competitive goal for his country since June 12, 2008.

Coincidentally, Wayne Rooney (whose red card incident involving Cristiano Ronaldo during Germany 2006 transformed the Portuguese into England’s number one public enemy) suffered the same fate at a point in his career.

Tuesday will mark exactly two years and three days since Ronaldo last scored for Portugal in a competitive encounter. This record is surely not what a player as attacking minded as Cristiano Ronaldo should have for his country, especially when scoring goals is not an unsolved problem at club level.

The former world player of the year award winner, who complained about the controversial Vuvuzela horns before admitting that players must adapt to it no matter what, expressed his desire to become the 2010 World Cup’s best player. Concerning the issue about his goal statistics for his national team, Cristiano Ronaldo declared:

His fans will hope that this will start against Cote d’Ivoire on Tuesday. In the meantime, the captain urged his team to concentrate on the match:

Portugal will come up against Korea DPR on match-day two while Cote d’Ivoire will battle it out against the planet’s giants Brazil on June 20.

New Zealand vs Slovakia Match Preview

The Royal Bafokeng Stadium will host New Zealand vs Slovakia on June 15, at 11:30 GMT. The match is portrayed as a meeting between Group F’s two underdogs.

Martin Skrtel of Slovenia happy as his team reaches South Africa 2010The truth is that, following Italy and Paraguay’s 1-1 draw on Monday night, New Zealand and Slovakia both have the chance of topping the table with a victory. It’s down to these two outsiders to show that they can emulate what Slovenia did in Group C – which was to clinch the top spot after match-day one despite the presence of big guns England and the USA in their section.

Slovakia – Rock In Defense Martin Skrtel Shares His Optimism

Slovakia shocked Europe when they secured an automatic 2010 World Cup finals spot last year. The Repre created history by reaching their first ever World Cup tournament and not even 2006 World Cup participants Poland and the Czech Republic could get in their way. Slovakia are not willing to give up and they are in an optimistic mood ahead of their campaign in South Africa which will kick off with a match against New Zealand on Tuesday.

Speaking exclusively to Fifa.com, Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel gave information about Slovakia’s spirit and vision going into their first ever World Cup match, noting that the atmosphere in the squad was a good one. Expressing his confidence against the threat that New Zealand could pose.

Slovakia are fresh from an emphatic 3-0 defeat of Costa Rica. A trademark defensive performance will benefit them a lot against a side like New Zealand who have a feble goal scoring record. The Repre have let only one goal into their net in as much as 270 minutes of friendly match football.

Castrol World Cup match predictor indicated that Slovakia are poised to win with 59% of chances compared to New Zealand’s 19% of chances. Actually, if Slovakia manage to make the game theirs within the first ten minutes of the match, one will expect them to go on and tear down New Zealand without any mercy.

Netherlands vs Denmark Match Preview

The Oranje will kick off their 2010 FIFA World Cup campaign at last on Monday, June 14. The Netherlands will play in an all-European tie against Denmark at 12:30 GMT.

Holland players celebrating together.Netherlands – Some Players In, Some Players Out

Starting off with some bad news about the Oranje, winger Arjen Robben is set to miss his side’s match against the Danes. The Bayern Munich forward injured his hamstring against Hungary in a friendly match where he scored a brace to help the Netherlands win 6-1 in the end. Coach Bert van Marwijk confirmed Arjen Robben’s exclusion’s from Monday’s World Cup clash.

Robben is not the only player whose name won’t be in Coach Bert van Marwijk’s starting lineup. Ryan Babel, Ibrahim Afellay, and Eljero Elia are all expected to start from the bench. Holland’s presumed 4-2-3-1 formation will rather comprise the likes of players like Dirk Kuyt and De Jong.

Denmark defenders might have breathed a sigh of relief at this news, but the certain return of Rafael Van der Vaart indicates that the Danes should think twice. The Real Madrid midfielder, who scored a goal in the Netherlands’ 4-1 defeat of Ghana back on June 1, should find his place in the starting lineup.
Denmark To Upset The Oranje?

So Denmark stunned Portugal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Can they overcome the Netherlands for a perfect start in Group E?

Well, the fact is that Denmark will have to battle it out without the services of Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner. The player has failed to recover in time from his groin injury so Danish fans will have to wait a few more days to know the fate of Denmark’s ace.

In the meantime, Coach Morten Olsen will have to content himself with the good news that first choice keeper Thomas Sorensen is now fully fit. The shot stopper will take his spot in goal as he has now recovered from his elbow injury. Will he be deceived by the potential of players like Van Persie or Wesley Sneijder?
