Group A: South Africa v France preview

pbr Bafana Bafana coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has said he is playing to win against France in his team's final match in the group stage of the World Cup.br ppbr Parreira said that the side's previous poor performance against Uruguay, a 3-0 defeat, has to be forgotten and failure to reach the Round of 16 would be a disappointment, not a failure.br ppbr "What has gone in the past is in the past, we have to look to the future and I never talk to my players about qualifying or not qualifying. We know the expectation of the country is very high."br ppbr Chaos may have engulfed the French camp for days, but Bafana Bafana captain, Aaron Mokoena, said that France's woes will not affect the team's strategy.br ppbr "We don't really try to rely much on the problems that the French team have. We are trying to focus as players, as a team, to our task. What happens with France is obviously the problems they have.br ppbr "It's important for us that we regroup after Uruguay and make sure that we are ready in whatever circumstances against France," said Mokoena.br ppbr For Bafana Bafana to advance, they need to defeat France and need either Uruguay or Mexico to win the other Group A match, with a sizeable goal difference also required.
