Didier Deschamps: "I don't want the Irish journalists to think that we chose Ireland because we thought we were going to have fun and we were going to win. We played Ireland at the Euros and it was very hard. We chose this team because they have the same profile as the ones we are going to face at the World Cup, and it's going to be a tough game, I can tell you that."
Martin O'Neill: "Personally, I think they're very strong. France, when they get together, will be strong in this competition. They will be disappointed to lose the final of European Championship, but overall they have as good a chance as anybody of winning the World Cup. The main thing is the extra experience they have had over the last couple of years. Qualification was fine. Individually, France have got very strong players indeed."
