Coupet – Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas, Abidal – Makelele, Toulalan, L. Diarra – Govou, Malouda, Anelka.

It’s a 4-3-3!!!

MB, everything I’ve seen indicates it will be Thuram, but I don’t think it’s official yet.

Sadly, Toulalan was not listed in the team that night, and Wiltord came on with very little time left. Govou played ‘OK’ at best, he made a lot of shoddy passes. Benzema defintely shined, I posted a match review on my site, and I got lucky and caught the third goal on my sister’s camera. Video on the page.

I think that article proves what a great guy and a leader on the team Sagnol is and hopefully will continue to be for a long time to come!

I think the starting 11 soccernet gives would be exciting. Myself, I would start Wiltord, let him prove he still has it, and if need be, sub in Govou for him around the 60th if its not working.

en tout cas, Vive la France!
Bonne chance demain les bleus!

Oh, and Jersey? How did Wiltord and Govou and Toulalan play? They’re my three mental question marks.

(And note that I haven’t mentioned my passionate, raging jealousy over your seeing Lyon live even once. I am In Control.)

Jersey, that’s good to hear. I ADORE Benzema. Every interview I see he seems so level-headed.

Do not be scared about Benzema! He played fantastically well last week against Nancy in the game I saw, great speed, dribbling awareness and pitch awareness for that matter. He was doing some very absurd things with crosses in warmups, i.e. no look bounce shots to top corners

I saw this article about Nasri. Don’t you just love Willy Sagnol?
