France convinced they can win remaining qualifiers

ALTHOUGH they lie fourth in Group Four, France remain convinced they will qualify for the 2006 World Cup finals by taking six points from their upcoming qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and the Irish.

"I have no doubt about us. I know what we are capable of," said striker Djibril Cisse. "I'm really confident for these matches."

After a training session just outside Paris, the players said they were focusing on a single goal, taking three points from each of their next two matches.
