I noticed that they had Giroud, Benzema, and Remy on at the same time. I have no idea why they would do that given their goal differential advantage on Switzerland.

They might have wanted to keep momentum going, maybe figured Ecuador down a man and pressing to get a goal and hopefully advance they should be easy pickings for goals.

It wasn't that France were playing for a tie at all. They had attacking players, they were pressing forward, taking shots, not time wasting at all. They just couldn't break through, big credit goes to Ecuador, especially since they were down a man for 45 minutes.
