After the second round of World Cup fixtures in the United States, Mexico and Canada, capped by Colombia’s 1-0 win over the DR Congo, Frenchmen coaching other nations remain winless. Didier Deschamps is the exception, his France side have two victories.

France beat Senegal 3-1, then Iraq 3-0, to reach the last 32. According to L'Équipe, their six points are double the combined haul of the four French bosses in charge of other nations.

Tunisia are out in Group F after a chaotic start. Sabri Lamouchi’s side lost 1-5 to Sweden, he was then dismissed and replaced by Hervé Renard, whose first game ended in a 0-4 defeat to Japan. They will try to salvage pride against the Netherlands in the night from Thursday to Friday (1am).

Haiti, led by Sébastien Migné, fell 0-1 to Scotland before a 0-3 loss to Brazil. Migné said the real failure would be to give up despite two defeats. They face Morocco in the night from Wednesday to Thursday (midnight).

Belgium, coached by Rudi Garcia, drew 1-1 with Egypt and 0-0 with Iran. Third in Group G, they will play for qualification against New Zealand in the night from Friday to Saturday (5am).

Sébastien Desabre’s DR Congo opened with a 1-1 draw against Portugal but were beaten 1-0 by Colombia, who were on the front foot. Lionel Mpasi made eight saves to keep the score down. They can still advance when they meet Uzbekistan in the night from Saturday to Sunday (1.30am).
