"Apparently someone has staked £110,000 on France to win the World Cup at odds of 20/1. At least I think that's how they'll line up - the team line-ups haven't come in yet, but I'll post them up as soon as they arrive.Their television coverage isn't much better, with loud, irritating, droning about vuvuzelas and lame jokes about the Republic of Ireland not being in South Afrcia appearing to be the order of the day. It would be interesting to speak to whoever stuck that massive bet on France winning the World Cup (see 19:02) to see how he is feeling now? This time Sidney Govou's cross looks like it will fall for Nicolas Anelka in front of goal but Uruguay defender Mauricio Victorino sticks out a leg to make a timely clearance. The game fell into something of a lull as half-time approached, but the tempo picked up again after the break, with Forlan blasting over after sneaking in between Gallas and Bacary Sagna. Fabio Capello is asked whether Gareth Barry is definitely out of the match against the USA, given that the Man City midfielder is now back in training. "Their goal changed the match a lot. Better from the French, but they are running out of time to win this one. That was a bit of an anti-climax, much like this entire match to be honest. "France boss Raymond Domenech springs a surprise by bringing in Arsenal's Abou Diaby for Florent Malouda from the side that lost to China in their final World Cup warm-up match. He lets fly with that trusty left foot from 25 yards out but the ball flashes just wide of Fernando Muslera's post. Join me on Saturday from 0900 BST for the build-up to The result ensured that both of the opening day Group A fixtures ended in draws - but there was much more to savour in South Africa's earlier game against Mexico.The match in Cape Town never really got going; instead of sparking into life, it deteriorated into a largely forgettable contest only briefly illuminated by the occasional moment of trickery and skill.In a game of few chances, Uruguay came closest to scoring through a Diego Forlan shot that was saved in the opening half, while they finished the contest with 10 men after substitute Nicolas Lodeiro picked up two bookings.France were arguably the better team and might have snatched the points with a free-kick from a promising position deep into injury-time, but substitute Thierry Henry's strike hit the wall.Both teams had laboured through qualification, requiring play-offs to reach South Africa, and their lack of fluency was clear to see.France, who recently switched to a 4-3-3 formation, lost to China in their final warm-up game and were too ponderous in possession against La Celeste, with a lack of understanding undermining their efforts.This was encapsulated in one move when Abou Diaby, surprisingly recalled in favour of Florent Malouda amid suggestions of a training ground row with manager Raymond Domenech, played a superb through ball for Sidney Govou.But striker Nicolas Anelka, who made way for Henry with 20 minutes left, intercepted the pass after returning from an offside position and a promising opening was completely wasted.Franck Ribery was an early threat down the left and his low cross after seven minutes should have been converted by Govou, while playmaker Yoann Gourcuff had few opportunities to showcase his skills - although he almost caught Fernando Muslera out with a free-kick from a tight angle on 17 minutes.France's holding midfielder Jeremy Toulalan was reduced to trying his luck from more than 35 yards, while Uruguay's Diego Lugano mystified his team-mates by shooting at goal from deep inside his own half.Toulalan was booked for a heavy tackle on Alvaro Pereira after 68 minutes and locked horns with Lugano seconds later. France are taking far too long to transition the ball from defence to attack while Nicolas Anelka looks all at sea in this lone striker system. France are boring me with a similar system." Followed, very shortly by kick-off. We could have won the game but the result was fair." ""The drone of the horns is driving me mad," writes Rhiannon Hope. You'd think, wouldn't you? Another free-kick from long range, this time for France. Thousands of fans are flocking towards the stadium as I write, and I'd like you to join the World Cup party too, although it might mean you putting your vuvuzela down for a minute or so. And another poor one, I'm afraid. Florent Malouda is on for Yoann Gourcuff. We are very proud as a team and confident. FRANCE take on Uruguay in the World Cup quarter-final and will feel the weight of history on their shoulders as they look to progress to the last four. Not his night, so far at least.

Evra indicated that the team aims to make it all the way to win the tournament.“I think we can go right to the end,” the 29-year-old left back told reporters. Ah, just as I say Uruguay are under increasing pressure, Diego Forlan has the South Americans' best effort so far. France and Mexico were in the same group in the first tournament in … They told me sometimes they had the fear they would be injured." Erm, that wasn't the greatest game was it? They have very good defenders, they never throw in the towel and they also push forward, which confirms that they will be very difficult opponents. Some nice touches by Uruguay in the opening minutes but the most notable thing about the first couple of minutes is the deafening sound of you know what. We have to praise our opponents." That's better. Steve Wilson, his sidekick in the commentary box goes one better by commenting on what a Steve Gaw has a Viz-esque Top Tip.
