Group C / France vs. Denmark

SITE: Lyon.

TIME: 7 a.m. TV: ESPN, Ch. 34 RADIO: KWKW (1330 Spanish).

* ABOUT FRANCE: With Zinedine Zidane already out because of a red card, Coach Aime Jacquet will try to avoid losing other players to a second yellow card, benching defenders Bixente Lizarazu and Laurent Blanc and midfielder Didier Deschamps. He will rest striker Thierry Henry.

* ABOUT DENMARK: The Danes need only a point to qualify for the next round, but a victory means they would win the group and avoid playing Nigeria next.

* OUTLOOK: Denmark defeated France en route to winning the European championship in 1992 and beat it again in 1996. Still, a tie looks the best bet.
