FIFA keeping an eye on France

FIFA is watching the fallout in France over the team's WC failure closely and won't hesitate to suspend the 1998 champs if it discovers government interference.

France President Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to personally investigate the debacle and met with Prime Minister Francois Fillon and Sports Minister Roselyne Bachelot on Wednesday to discuss ways to reform French football.
