Striker Nicolas Anelka says France should not cautiously defend its 1-0 lead and must attack Ireland in the return leg of their World Cup playoff.

Anelka's deflected second-half strike settled a tight match in France's favor in Dublin on Saturday, but France has little room for error at Stade de France on Wednesday.
