Why would France go home? If they beat Togo comfortably, which they should, surely they go through on goal difference if the other sides draw.

you're right. If France beats Togo by 2 goals they would advance and Korea would stay home. Nice that the games will be played concurrently.

Zidane is out of the Togo match, because of two yellows. France will not score enough goals, even if they beat Togo.

Stick a fork in Les Bleus.

France has scored 1 goal in their last 5 WC matches. That gives me little confidence in their ability to win by multiple goals against Togo.
