TEN-man France are still in the World Cup - just.

They had to battle for their lives after Thierry Henry was sent off in the 26th minute of their vital Group A game with Uruguay in Busan.

Their courageous performance earned them a 0-0 draw which still gives them a chance of reaching the second round.

The world champions, who came closest to scoring when Emmanuel Petit hit the post from a free-kick, must now beat Denmark by two clear goals in the final Group A game on Tuesday morning (7.30am) to qualify for the second phase.

Wanderer Youri Djorkaeff was relegated to the bench while Zidane failed to recover from his injury.

Earlier, Denmark and Senegal fought out a 1-1 draw this morning which left them both with four points from two games.

Meanwhile, Cameroon's 1-0 win over Saudia Arabia means Ireland need to beat Saudi Arabia by two clear goals in their final game on Tuesday to go through in Group E.

Jon Dahl Tomasson, the two-goal hero of Denmark's impressive win over Uruguay, put them in front with a 16th minute penalty in today's breakfast game

But classy Senegal, shock 1-0 winners over France on opening day, equalised with a length-of-the field move ending with Salif Alassane Diao flicking home with the outside of his right foot on 52 minutes.

Diao later blotted his copybook after he was sent off for a dangerous tackle.
