France: One more loss and we’re out


CLAIREFONTAINE: France are in a make-or-break position in their bid to qualify for Euro 2008, coach Raymond Domenech said on Tuesday.

“We have a gun pointed at our head. That’s good, it’s going to motivate us,” Domenech tsaid.

France travel to the Faroe Islands on Saturday before taking on Lithuania in Nantes on Oct 17. Les Bleus, who will travel to Ukraine next month, are third in Group B, one point behind Italy and two behind leaders Scotland.

“It’s like playing Cup matches – we lose a game, we’re out. We know that,” Domenech added.

“We will have to fight and play much faster,” he said, referring to France’s 1-0 shock defeat against Scotland last month.

“If we want to qualify, we need to win our three remaining matches.” – Reuter
