Patrice Evra has praised the contribution of travelling fans to France's hard fought first leg World Cup qualification match against Ireland in Dublin.

"I then highlighted the warmth of the fans in the Roudourou stadium, in Guingamp. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the 6,000-odd supporters who made the trip to Dublin. It was perhaps hard to hear them but I promise you that their presence really moved the players."

"It's not a dream to expect us to get as much support in the Stade de France as the Irish had at home. I know that will be the case. It's simply a question of logic, it's an obligation."

"Everyone wants to go to this World Cup, our supporters too. So I hope that the people of France will get behind us. It's now or never."
