Substitute Malouda scores as France crash out.


June 21, 2010 - Bloemfontein, South Africa - epa02214976 France national soccer team player Florent Malouda (L) during the team's arrival at Bloemfontein's airport, South Africa, 21 June 2010. France will face South Africa in their group A soccer match of the FIFA 2010 World Cup on June 22 in Bloemfontein.


Florent Malouda's World Cup nightmare with France is now over after his side were beaten 2-1 by the host nation South Africa. Malouda, who started from the bench, came on as a second half substitute and scored a consolation for France after good work from Sagna and Ribery.

At least he can have a break now and come back fresh for pre-season at Chelsea.
