Assuming France beats Togo, then whomever wins vs. Switzerland advances as 1st place and France takes 2nd.
If Togo vs. France and Korea vs. Switzerland both end in ties, then Switzerland is assured 1st (since the GD's won't change with ties), and it all comes down to who's had the highest scoring game, which between Korea and France would be Korea, giving them second (assuming that France and Togo don't go to a 2-2 tie, though.)

France has to win to have any chance of advancing. So, if they tie and Korea ties, then Korea goes through.
Additionally, Korea can advance with a tie if France beats Togo by less than two goals. Korea also advances if France beats Togo by one goal while scoring no more than one goal more than Korea scores against Switzerland (i.e. if France wins 1-0, and Korea ties 0-0, then Korea goes through). Korea can also advance by coin flip if France wins by one goal while scoring two more goals than Korea scores in their match.

Basically, if Switzerland v South Korea is a draw, France need to win by two goals to be certain of qualifying. If they only win by one goal then they need to score two more goals than South Korea manage in their last game.
Or what Corajudo said.

Edit - wait, re-evaluating...and done. You're right.
Slight correction to Burkett's post - France needs a win AND ONLY a win (with certain stipulations) to advance. If they tie with Togo, they're out (since they currently have 2 points from 2 draws, and a tie with Togo would only give them 3 points while Switzerland & South Korea both currently have 4).
