u all need to relax about the jersey, because they will have a new one for south africa, and after that nike is making the jerseys. i think the nike ones will be alot nicer, and i hate the collar. Henry is a good captain, because he has the most caps on the team (103) also the most goals, something the french haven’t been good at recently i think nasri, gourcouff, and jeremy menez should all be starting and get rid of all the old players, also govou is nothing special saha and cisse are better

Ugly colour of the maillot, i liked the “real” darkish blue, this blue is too italian and it should have more red in the shirt. I preferred the last one and the one in 2006:D

Bad ref gave Italy that win – Abidal redcarded, penalty, injury to Ribéry, Vieira out, Henry injured, Zidane gone…Plus an unnecessary free kick to Italy…gave Italy both goals. So Italy won 2-0 on a penalty and an own goal. I think a more accurate score was 3-1 France a month after France should have beaten Italy (as can be seen by the superior amount of shots on goal) in the World Cup Final.

I think Italians are insecure about France because everybody complains France deserved to beat Italy and Italians know it deep down…
(Btw, I love Italy, but I hate the team almost as much as I hate the Portuguese team).
Vai in culo Materazzi!

Wow… guess sarcasm just flies by you sandrahn… Let me guess: you’re one of those who wanted to keep Domenech, right?

marco, seems like YOU’RE the one who can’t think about anything but France–else why would you come on here and express so much concern about France’s shirts? Your interpretation of the France’s shirt choices is pretty hilarious — typical of an arrogant Italy fan who thinks the world revolves around you.

Geez… you guys are really taking superstition to a new level.

In 2006, you ditched the white away jersey, because it’s the one you were wearing in the final against Italy. In 2008, you’re ditching the old blue one, because once again, you were wearing it when you lost to Italy. Can’t Domenech think of anything else but Italy?

It’s ok — still not anywhere as good as the blue worn by the France 98 team.

Henry is not a good choice for captain — a striker should never be captain. And he wasn’t a good captain for Arsenal. Best captains are defenders, then midfielders.

Crazy rumour going around the English press today about Silvestre coming to Arsenal. I’m too shocked to even be coherent about it.
