They must now beat hosts South Africa comfortably on Tuesday and hope that Uruguay and Mexico do not play out a draw, otherwise they will fall at the first hurdle.The team arrived at training on Sunday but captain Patrice Evra had a row with fitness coach Robert Duverne which had to be split up by Domenech.Soon after the incident the players boarded the team bus and left, which sparked the resignation of French Football Federation liaison officer Jean-Louis Valentin, who claimed he was ashamed at the actions of the squad.Despite training on Monday, it remains to be seen how prepared France, runners-up in 2006, will be when they take on Bafana Bafana in their final group game.
