Vieira optimistic France can survive

France’s stand-in captain Patrick Vieira is adamant Les Bleus can still win the World Cup – but he also fears a second consecutive elimination at the first hurdle.

Vieira and his team-mates must beat Togo tomorrow by two goals in their last Group G match to be certain of progressing to the last 16 – victory y a single goal would be enough if there was an outright winner of the Switzerland versus South Korea fixture.
