France coach Raymond Domenech has said that any judgement on him is
premature given that France still have chance to qualify for the knockout stage
of the World Cup.
France have been in danger of early exit from the tournament following their
dull draws with Switzerland and South Korea and have to win by two clear goals
in their final group match to secure a berth for the last 16.
But Domenech, one of the hardest tacklers in French soccer as a player,
remained defiant before Friday's crucial match against Togo, which has been
already eliminated.
"You never have any excuses when you don't qualify," Domenech told reporters.
"Before you accuse us wait until we have committed a crime," he added.
