France are staring at a humiliatingly premature exit from the 2010 World Cup after Mexico inflicted a 2-0 Group A defeat on Les Bleus in Polokwane on Thursday evening. Manchester United-bound forward Javier Hernandez handed his side the lead in the second period before Cuauhtemoc Blanco, 15 years the former’s senior, slotted in from the penalty spot.
The result leaves Mexico on four points, alongside Uruguay, while the increasingly under-fire France coach Raymond Domenech must now hope for a horoscope-inspired miracle when his team meet the hosts South Africa in what is likely to be his last game as national manager next Tuesday.
