2010 World Cup: France v Mexico half time report
France 0 Mexico 0
France continued where they left off against Uruguay with a lifeless first half display against a fluent Mexico side. The scoreline maybe goalless, but only one side has been in the game, and i'll give you a clue, their not wearing blue shirts.
Mexico’s pace caused early problems for the French centre-backs, Carlos Vela had the pick of the chances when he volleyed over from a Rafeal Marquez though ball.
The North Americans continued to press on, with Carlos Salcido, the marauding left back, firing wide from a tight angle with 18 minutes gone.
Salcido was really enjoying himself down the left flank and once again got in behind Bacary Sagna, and profited from some awful defending by William Gallas to fire a shot straight at Hugo Lloris.
France, much like their opening game against Uruguay, have looked hugely disjointed and have failed to create anything of note. If any team look the most likely to win the game, it is most certainly the Mexicans.
