French have little faith in Les Bleus
Only 27
Only 27.3 percent of French people believe their team will go beyond the first round at next month's World Cup, a poll showed on Wednesday.
The GFK-L'Equipe TV-RTL-MSN poll gave France a 7.4 percent chance of reaching the final, a feat they achieved in 2006 when they lost to Italy on penalties.
The poll also showed Raymond Domenech's popularity had dipped, with just 22 percent of French people having confidence in the coach.
