Zidane did it, so did Michael Jordan for years! You can be the greatest player on the planet but LEADERSHIP is a whole different intangible! The others need a supporting cast as case in point with Portugal and C.Ronaldo the world's current greatest footballer. Point is:

I'm French but I live in Holland, and on school all those people say Go Holland in their orange shirts lol// anyways Ribery is a legend, too bad he was out after 10 minutes, from then on I knew France wudn't win.. n france shud have got 2 penalties in the match against Holland.. I miss Zidane and I hope Henry will still play in the world cup, he is just 30 i think he cud continue for at least 4 years I’m happy that I’m not the only when who is upset about this frustrating euro cup.

It was the same in the World Cup final. When Vieira went out in that match, there went midfield control and there went the match. Likewise here. Ribery's efforts are generally for naught because when the ball enters the middle of the pitch, we have no effective answers for Gattuso, Pirlo and the like. No, there isn't another Zidane out there with his touch, control and mastery of the midfield. So tactics have to enter the picture. Our back line was also appalling. As a cule, I can say that Thuram pulled out some man-like performances for us this past year, but he just wasn't there for Euros. And whenever Abidal gets near the center, look out, as we Barca lovers also discovered this past season. If we're making the Anelka/Trezeguet discussion, it's Trezeguet, all day and all night. He's for sale for 25 million, and if the price comes down, I hope we grab him. He'd look great in blaugrana. A new coach with logical selection patterns fixes a lot of the problems, I think. Making the Cup final (despite Domenech) only masked the difficulties. His loyalty to Barthez (Coupet would NOT have allowed that cross to get to Materazzi) was as unfathomable as his loyalty to Coupet this go-round. Argh, merde, mon dieu, quelle horreur....comme vous voulez. Our biggest problem is midfield control. It was the same in the World Cup final.

Now we've got 10 players to your 11 correct? Wouldn't your logical mind imply that one team has more space than the other by coverage? Therefore more chances, so please don't gloat over the fact that Italy could've won by 6 goals. France faught hard with 10 and as a Les Bleus fan I'm proud of these guys. However how can you predict the unlucky tip by Henry? France squandered many chances as well. Also enjoy the rivalry, if there was no Les Bleus who else would bring so much hatered and anger in you? PORTUGUESE perhaps? Now I hope that you grow up and become a fine full blooded Italian "MAN" not a "BOY", and stop your stupid streotypes on the French blog pages. CIAO!!!!!!!! Hey Porchy man:
