France's green phobia

AFP, Paris
France are fearful of drowning under a tide of green support at the Stade de France in Satur-day's World Cup qualifier against
Ireland.
Around 35,000 Irish fans could descend on the 77,000-seater stadium built for the 1998 World Cup despite the Irish Football Association's original ticket allocation being set at just 8,000.
"This could feel more like an away match for us," Manchester United defender Mikael Sylvestre predicted.
"The Irish fans will be there in great numbers and they will make themselves heard - like they always do.
"It's not when you are world champions that you need supporters.
"It's when you are struggling. If the French fans want to see us in the 2006 World Cup finals, they have to come on Saturday. "I'm aware that a match against Ireland doesn't have the appeal of one against Brazil. But if we want to play Brazil again we first have to beat Ireland. We can't skip steps," he told the Irish Independent.
Sylvestre is eager to take on his United teammate Roy Keane, who was back training with Brian Kerr's Irish side in Dublin Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday's session.
France coach Raymond Domenech, in his fourth match in charge since taking over from Jacques Santini, has had to shuffle his options after injuries to key players David Trezeguet and Ludovic Giuly, who are set to be replaced by Marseille's Peggy Luyindula and Daniel Moreira of Toulouse.
Captain Patrick Vieira is also ruled out after his red card in France's last qualifier against the Faroe Islands although the Arsenal midfielder will be back in business for Les Bleus' next step to Germany 2006 against Cyprus on Wednesday.
After an uninspiring goalless draw against Israel and a 2-0 win over the Faroes, France are level on
points with Switzerland and Ireland in Group 4, but only third on goal difference.
"The team's eager to show what it's capable of," said Domenech, who has had a modest start to his reign as coach as he rebuilds the former World Cup and European champions after the retirements of stars Zinedine Zidane, Lilian Thuram, Marcel Desailly and Bixente Lizarazu.
Ireland, meanwhile, continued their preparations at their home training camp north of Dublin in Malahide Wednesday before flying to Paris Thursday.
Manchester United's John O'Shea and Chelsea's Damien Duff, both of whom like Keane sat out training Tuesday as a precautionary measure, were back in the fold Wednesday leaving Richard Dunne as Kerr's sole injury doubt.
Goalkeeper Shay Given has yet to link up with the squad but the Newcastle player's absence is nothing to do with injury but the imminent arrival of hs first child.
