    France and Norway tie 3-3

     MARSEILLE, France (AP) -- France salvaged a 3-3 tie with Norway on Wednesday despite dominating its last home game before hosting this summer's World Cup.
     France made crucial defensive errors during the exhibition, and only managed a draw after a diving header from Marcel Desailly in the final seconds of the match.
     Norway, which will also play in France this summer, took the lead in the 12th minute on a goal by Frank Strandli. Laurent Blanc tied it 1-1 11 minutes later on a diving header.
     France's star playmaker Zinedine Zidane then took control and gave his team a 2-1 lead in the 28th minute with a goal from the edge of the penalty area. Norway made it 2-2 in the 67th minute on a header by Tore Andre Flo and took the lead with two minutes left on substitute Verard Heggem goal from 12 yards out.
