Here is a look at the new France shirt for the 2010 World Cup. Les Bleus ( the likes of Anelka, Henry, Gourcuff and co.) will wear this jersey at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. France finished runners up at the 2006 World Cup, and qualified for the 2010 event in somewhat controversial circumstances, eliminating the Republic of Ireland with a “La Main de Dieu” ( Hand of God) goal. The new France football kit has been made by Adidas, which has outfitted the national side since the 1970’s.

( France win 2-1 on aggregate)
France grab Europe’s final playoff spot thanks to William Gallas’ extra time goal, but the Irish will be feeling hurt after taking the French to extra time, and then losing to a strike that should have never have been allowed in the first place. “La main de Henry” ( The hand of Henry), Le Maradona Francais ( The French Maradona), those are the names being used in France to refer to that goal. So that is it folks- Greece, Portugal, Slovenia and France progress from the playoffs.
