法國隊最終打入16強，媒體也長舒一口氣，雖然這支隊伍依舊沒有表現出他們的真實水平。

　　法國體育日報《隊報》的頭條寫道：“感覺很好。”

　　《巴黎人報》的首頁是：“終於出線了。”

　　《費加羅報》的評論是：“法國挽回了他們的顏面，從後門溜入了16強。”

　　《隊報》的首頁社論説：“最低要求主義的法國人完成了他們的最低要求。此刻多麼的輕鬆！我們還需要多等幾天來看看他們能表現的怎樣...西班牙可不是瑞士或多哥。”

　　“維埃拉是救世主。”

　　原文:World-French media relieved after Les Bleus win at last

　　PARIS, June 24 (Reuters) - French media were relieved after Les Bleus finally grabbed a berth in the last 16 of the World Cup but are still not convinced of their true potential.

　　"That feels good", was the main headline of sports daily L'Equipe on Saturday after France beat Togo 2-0 in their last group match. "It's done", said Le Parisien on its front page.

　　"France save their skin and invite themselves to third week by the back door," commented Le Figaro.

　　France needed to beat Togo by two goals to avoid an early exit after drawing 0-0 and 1-1 with Switzerland and South Korea.

　　They finished second behind the Swiss in Group G and will next play Spain in the second round in Hanover on Tuesday.

　　"The minimalist Bleus have done the minimum but they have done it. What a relief," wrote L'Equipe in its front page editorial.

　　"Les Bleus had to wait for an hour to score two goals... We shall wait for a few more days until Tuesday to see if they are up to what we can expect from a French World Cup team... Spain will be a different opponent than Switzerland and Togo."

　　"...the saviour is named (Patrick) Vieira," said the sports daily referring to the midfielder who on his 30th birthday scored the first goal and set up Thierry Henry for the second.

　　The Juventus player was handed L'Equipe's best mark, 7.5 out of 10. Winger Franck Ribery was awarded 6.5, Henry six and the lowest mark, 3.5, went to fullback Mikael Silvestre.
