The New-born Champaign Football Ready to Hit the Jackpot

On the third day of World Cup France 98, at chilly-windy Velodrome, Marseille, France happily beat South Africa with the fine hedder from Christophe Dugarry and two more goals by the opponent.

Dugarry, who came after 27th minute past in the first half replacing Stephane Guivarc'h, called the luck for goal-longing France as well as
the big cheering from the boiled Mareille home supporters.

Against the less encouraged South Africans, French new Champaign football totally overwhelmed here and there, with continuous chance creating from Zinedine Zidane, Bixente Lizarazu and Thierry Henry.

The second goal came when Dugarry set the ball, from the long throw by Lizarazu, for Youri Djorkaeff who shot at the leg of South Africa's
Pierre Issa. The ball past changing its course helpless Dutch-blood goal keeper Johannes Vonk. Another own goal given, after the fine rushing by
Henry, assured French first victory in the tournament.

Three and half hours ago, at Lens, Denmark beat Saudi Arabia 1-0. Both teams proved their own styles of neatly trained tactics, but then, Denmark just went ahead showing better international experience.

The first match of Group D, between Paraguay and Bulgaria,ended as the scoreless draw through the rather boring game. Both Hristo Stoichkov of
Bulgaria, who will go to Kashiwa after this World Cup, and Paraguay's leading goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert only shined at a few occations.
