My Thoughts on Domenech’s Trezeguet “Snub”
Did you know that if you google the words “Trezeguet Domenech Snub” you get 1980 hits? And that’s just in the English speaking press. (I’d do the French too, but off the top of my head I can’t remember the French word for “snub.” French speakers, feel free to help me out [...]
The Latest on France Injuries
I always hold my breath after the club games the weekend before internationals as I wait to see who’s gotten injured. This week is no exception. And the worst part of this weekend is that two of our most important clubs, Arsenal and Barcelona, still have games to play. Arsenal plays Reading [...]
Shevchenko Called Up for Ukraine
So do you think it means something that all three Ukrainian strikers are named “Andriy”? (At least that’s what the fff website says.) Is it like Domenech’s astrology thing where he picks players with the same birthdates?
The big news for us is that one of those Andriy’s is Shevchenko. Is this a [...]
The List for Morocco and Ukraine
I have to dress up and go to a stupid charity dinner, so I don’t even have time to format this properly, let alone write a real post. But here’s the list of selected players. The only real surprise I saw on first read-through was that Alou Diarra is back. And no [...]
The List Comes Out Thursday
You know how much I look forward to list days? More than game days. That’s how much. Games days are stressful. List days are just fun. We get a time to rejoice and a time to moan and a time to complain about Raymond Domenech. (To everything there is [...]
France Injury Updates, Again: Henry, Abidal, Sagnol
Good news, France fans! Thierry Henry and Eric Abidal both played in Barcelona’s “convincing” win over Real Betis. It looks like Henry, especially was determined to make a difference and prove his critics wrong.
Henry’s indifferent form has been criticised. He has been suffering from an Achilles injury, though Rijkaard said he would be [...]
France Injury Woes Mount
You didn’t want to read that headline, did you? (Unless you’re a Scotland or Italy fan. In which case… Well, you can stay, but absolutely no gloating, or I’ll buy those voodoo dolls that Russian woman used against England that affect your players’ man-parts.)
But…um…yeah. Injuries. This is depressing. Our [...]
At Last, Some Good News on the France Injury/Illness Front
And finally some good news for France. Samir Nasri will be returning to play for Marseille this weekend vs. Sochaux. I was starting to get a bit worried because, again, we’re dealing with an illness that can affect the brain (”meningitis-like virus”) and he was supposed to be back last weekend. [...]
France Injury Update: Toulalan, Vieira, Ribery
With about 3 1/2 weeks to go before that all-important game with Ukraine, I don’t like seeing injuries reported for our players. Unfortunately it looks like there are a few.
First, Jérémy Toulalan missed Lyon’s Champions League game with Stuttgart today with a knee injury. He’s expected to be our two weeks, so let’s [...]
Upcoming Games for France
How did it slip my notice that France was playing Morocco on November 16? Oops.
The fff recently announced some friendlies for 2008, so I figured this would be a good time to bring you up to date on upcoming fixtures.
Friday 16 november 2007
Friendly at the Stade de France
France-Morocco (21h00) [...]
