The Blues of André-Pierre Gignac face Japan this Wednesday for their third and last group match. Widely beaten by Mexico at the opening (4-1), the French caught up against South Africa (4-3) on Sunday. A victory that leaves the Habs alive with a view to qualifying for the quarter-finals even if they will have a lot to do. If they win by two goals against the Japanese, they will have their destiny in their hands and will inevitably see the next round. With a simple victory by less than two goals, it will be hoped that Mexico does not win against the South Africans. In the event of a draw for France, the Mexicans would then have to bow. Finally, a setback against Japan would eliminate whatever happens Sylvain Ripoll's men.
