Barthez gets a break as sub Gygax badly misplays a header and the French keeper keeps the ball out.
The French opt to throw on Saha for Ribery.
With 8 minutes left France finally hit on the break with some speed and it creates a half chance.
Wiltord has been invisible and has been replaced by Dhorasoo. A few minutes later he takes a great knock down from Saha and puts it inches wide. The Swiss finish with a flurry but the final whistle goes for a rather disappointing 0-0 draw.
I thought coming into this tournament that France had a couple of good games left in them. After that display they have yet to use one of them up. The torch should have been passed to the next generation four years ago. France will not worry any team at this World Cup playing like this.
South Korea will fancy their chances against either of these countries.
Man of the match - Ludovic Magnin. The Swiss full back tackled and harried for 90 minutes and was an inspiration for Switzerland.
