Journey to the 2010 World Cup: First Stop, Spain
South Africa is now less than four months away (opening game is June 11th) and while most countries have arguably been preparing for this tournament for 4 years- Raymond Domenech has declared that his preparation will really start next Wednesday when France play Spain. Our approach to qualification makes so much more sense now…

France News Round-Up
Even the Elephants are angry at Thierry…
It has been a while since we have caught up with the team, potential teammates, managers and alumni during the international down-time.
Today marks the first day that I was proud to have Raymond Domenech represent France. The man has managed to string together several intelligent words and shown [...]
Vieira to Captain France if he gets a run of games with Manchester City
Trying to predict France’s first 11 for the World Cup this summer?
Here’s the latest from Domenech on the subject (quotes posted yesterday on Sky Sports):

FIFA Disciplinary Committee Verdict on Henry: Not Guilty
As I said yesterday, I feared the worst from this hearing. I couldn’t imagine what value this whole show trial was to FIFA unless they were going to dole out a harsh punishment to set an example. Why else keep the discussion alive unless you are going to do something. Doing nothing [...]

Hope everyone who celebrated had a nice holiday and a happy New Year!

If you can’t understand the video, this article should help you understand what is going on. Interesting tidbits [...]
David Ngog to Choose Cameroon over France?
First, I have to say that I am thrilled to join the France World Cup blogging team! They have been my team since I watched my first World Cup at age 11 (I’m an American from a family doesn’t watch sports– so I was a late bloomer). Though the team has changed since [...]
