Sandrahn, yes, it’s possible. I considered it. I could still do it.

But I’m a big believer in free speech, and I’m never sure where to draw the line. This one was close, but in the end I decided to leave it and let anyone who wanted respond.

The French team does seem to take a lot more abuse than other teams. I’ve said it before, and I think it’s still true. France haters hate them for being French, and diversity haters hate them for not being “French enough.” Whatever that means. But I think that in the long run people like this are just revealing their own ignorance.

But if it gets so pervasive or abusive that it interferes with regular readers’ abiilty to enjoy the blog, I’ll start deleting. Let me know if and when you feel the line has been crossed.

What #1 is talking about ? divers ? he must confond with the italian team.
The guy pulled Henry from behind by the jersey .If this is not a penalty i suggest him to drop soccer and watch other sport.

I’m pretty sure Domenech will take out Henry, Makelele, Ribery, Benzema, Sagnol and either Thuram or Malouda.

Hmm. Rather unimaginative, and pretty much the lineup I expect to see on Monday. Which is interesting. I’d expect a lot of changes at the half.

L’Equipe has this lineup:

Coupet – Sagnol, Thuram (cap.), Gallas, Abidal – Makelele, Toulalan, Ribéry, Malouda – Henry, Benzema

bunch of divers, every time the french play a big quality team they always dive to get a penalty. typical french behavior.
