France

Unbearable defeat

Really it can’t get worse.

France 0-1 Belarus in the Stade de France.

I’m not going to talk about tactics or players. My testosterone is balled up in a fit of anger.

I have been writing a lot for the France WCB lately, but my consistency may cease a little. Not because of this, but because I am moving to Auxerre, France next week, wish me luck!

Please feel free to release your frustrations below.

I’ve taken these Laurent Blanc quotes from Reuters:
“It’s a quite sensitive issue here and I’ve personally prompted the players to sing La Marseillaise tomorrow,” ... [read more]

Zidane returns to Clairefontaine

September 1st, 2010 | By: Jean-François | Comments Comments(13)

There are only two days before France’s decisive match against Belarus. From what I’ve seen, Laurent Blanc is keeping a positive atmosphere at Les Bleus’ headquarters. To reinforce the optimism, Le President invited Zinedine Zidane to Clairefontaine to spend the day with the team. This was a huge confidence boost for the team as a whole. The morale was very ...

August 30th, 2010 | By: Jean-François | Comments Comments(6)

There have been some squad updates since Sarah’s post on Thursday. Yesterday some very concerning news was released that Lassana Diarra may not be fit to play for France, again…
Apparently he picked up a hamstring strain during his match against Mallorca.
