"Bayern" club guard Franck Ribery says that France's absence from the World Cup in Brazil would be a disaster. The French, coached by Didier Deschamps, are behind Spain in Group I qualifying for the World Cup, so they will have to play two additional qualifying matches against Ukraine. France last missed the World Cup in 1994, and F.Ribery wants to ensure that it does not happen again. "I cannot imagine a World Cup without the French national team. It would be a disaster for us and the country," said the guard recognized as the best player in Europe this year. "We must play as always, not be afraid, and not pay attention to the tension," - said F.Ribery. The 1998 World Cup champions will play in Ukraine on November 15th, and four days later they will host their opponents at home."
