法國隊在上屆世界盃上一球未進便慘遭小組夭折厄運，而這次在他們的近鄰德國，目前法國人依然沒能取得一粒入球。法國隊中擁有著這個世界最令人膽寒的前鋒以及眾多的天才球員，然而他們上一次在世界盃舞臺上的進球還得追溯到8年前的法國世界盃決賽。四場比賽無一入球的法國隊沒有什麼可以拿來炫耀的了。2002年世界盃前，法國在所參加的41場比賽中，有6場顆粒無收。6月14日同瑞士打成0比0後，法國已經在45場世界盃比賽中10場零進球。

　　亨利賽後責備裁判的糟糕執法讓法國損失了一次進球機會。上半場他的一次射門打在瑞士後衛帕特裏克米勒的左手上，他認為當值俄羅斯裁判瓦連京伊萬諾夫應該給法國隊點球。“裁判並沒有看見，我知道規則説的是用手去碰球，但是如果球碰到了手受影響而沒能入網，那就該判罰點球”，亨利説道。法國隊主教練雷蒙多梅內克説“我們在有機會取得進球時卻沒能破門，這讓我感到很遺憾，我們總是要受到這些事的影響，裁判的執法讓人難以理解，即使是在這麼高水平的比賽中”。

　　法國隊的對手的進攻也不是那麼犀利，瑞士全場最好的機會出現在第23分鐘，特蘭奎洛巴爾內塔主罰任意球到禁區，亞歷山大弗賴和菲利普森德羅斯都有機會將球送入網窩，但是二人都沒碰到皮球。但是瑞士隊對於比賽結果很滿意，同組的韓國以2比1擊敗多哥，目前位列小組第一。瑞士主教練克比庫恩説“法國隊是一支擁有著眾多大牌球星的球隊，我只想説，他們又一次沒能擊敗我們”。

　　France still can't find the net in World Cup

　　June 14, 2006

　　STUTTGART, Germany (AP) -- France couldn't find a single goal half a world away as it crashed out of the last World Cup in Korea.

　　And it hasn't found one next door in Germany.

　　ADVERTISEMENT

　　The team with one of the world's deadliest strikers and an arsenal of other talent last scored a goal on soccer's biggest stage in its championship game victory eight years ago.

　　Four games without a goal to show is nothing to brag about.

　　Before the 2002 debacle in Korea, France had been shut out six times in 41 World Cup games. Make that 10 times in 45 games following Tuesday's 0-0 game against Switzerland.

　　Following the game, star striker Thierry Henry blamed bad refereeing for the loss of one scoring chance.

　　Henry, who led Arsenal with 33 goals during the season, said Russian referee Valentin Ivanov should have awarded a penalty when his shot hit the left hand of charging Switzerland defender Patrick Mueller in the first half.

　　"The referee didn't see it and it came at a moment in the match when we were really on top," Henry said. "I know that the rule is hand-to-ball, but if the ball hits the hand and it stops it going in, that should be a penalty."

　　Switzerland goalie Pascal Zuberbuehler had to make only one difficult save.

　　"I regret that we did not score when we had the chance, but we are always at the mercy of these things," France coach Raymond Domenech said. "The refereeing was not always understandable, even though it is top-level refereeing."

　　Not that Switzerland was a polished scoring machine.

　　Its best chance came in the 23rd minute when Tranquillo Barnetta sent a free kick into the area. Teammates Philippe Senderos and Alexander Frei both had clear opportunities to send the ball past France goalie Fabien Barthez, but both failed to get a touch and the ball banged off the post.

　　Frei had another opportunity when he leaped to meet a free kick from Ludovic Magnin. Instead of heading the ball, the striker tried to punch it home from barely 3 yards and was shown a yellow card for cheating.

　　Still, Switzerland was satisfied with the result in a group that includes Togo and South Korea, which took the top spot with a 2-1 victory Tuesday.

　　"If you look at the team of our opponent, France, it's a squad with lots of fantastic players," said Switzerland coach Koebi Kuhn. "And I can only say, once again, they didn't beat us."
