Roger Lemerre, very pale, flickering, clinging to the arm of a relative. It tells the coach, completely lost, the way forward in the corridors of the stadium Inchon. The Blues, pathetic losers, let the whole of France to his questions, his pain, his rebellion, his Waterloo. Nobody imagined such a scenario..

And their fans, haggard, dazed, have also shed tears of despair. But where were our wonderful world champions in 1998, Zidane, admirable courage and dignity yesterday on one leg, Barthez, Desailly and others? Where are our dreams? Who broke the momentum of the physical and mental team indestructible? No training world champion had been out in the first round of a World Cup since Brazil in 1966. Sadness is the measure of joys Stade de France in 1998 or Rotterdam in 2000. Yesterday, in their white jerseys, the Tricolour spectra were only spectators of their own mistakes.

On June 11, 2002 will probably remain as the darkest day of French sport. And as an earthquake on planet football. Some players, star system too, no longer have the depth of their own thirst to conquer the world champion turned a dirty with a single point in three games, no goals scored, which he boasted of having a fire attack, it’s unbelievable. France finished the last of a group composed of Denmark, Senegal, both skilled and Uruguay. There is nothing to add to this pathetic balance sheet.
