Gary Lineker presents World Cup football, with France meeting Group A rivals Mexico in Polokwane. The French were beaten finalists four years ago, but only narrowly qualified for South Africa. Thierry Henry's infamous handball against the Irish probably saved Raymond Domenech's job, but the French coach will be under more pressure if Les Bleus fail to impress this summer. With star names such as Nicolas Anelka and Franck Ribery, there will be no excuses if the French fall short. Since being eliminated by Argentina four years ago, Mexico have turned to a new generation of talent such as Giovanni Dos Santos and Carlos Vela. Mexican coach Javier Aguirre is hopeful his side can progress beyond the group stage.
