France underachieving in World Cup Qualifying, but the FFF still thinks Domenech is the best option to lead the team

i agree with u and i think that it’s ‘written in the stars of orion’ that france is not going to qualify because of –> Him.

You dont need to be a genius to play gourcuff henry ribery and toulalan, they are consistent as a (uhm, i dont know but very very consistent)

i think that the friendly with argentina in february will be at least 0-15 lose

hey, am i mistaken or does it really says on Zidanes personal website, http://www.zidane.fr , that he is going to play a match next month against Ronaldo to raise money for the poor?

“Bien qu’ayant mis un terme a sa carriere de joueur professionel en 2006, Zinedine Zidane s’est engage a continuer de jouer a l’occasion du Match contre la pauvrete.”

“Ronaldo et Zidane annoncent le prochain match contre la pauvrete qui se joera au Fes, au Maroc, le 17 Novembre.”

Zidane and Ronaldo are always doing charity matches together. It’s really cute actually.

I think Anelka should factor into Domench’s plans a little bit more substantially. He is currently starting for Chelsea and performing very well. Benzema and Henry seem inconsistent.

Henry is a calming influence up top. Him scoring recently helped up his stock again. Benzema is really not cutting it since the Euros. Since Benzema figures to be the future of France’s attack when Henry & Anelka are out of the picture, he’s getting some good exposure. For me he’s been a bit too invisible in the games he’s played recently to be the starter.

the article makes it depressing, its not the first time we where in tough group, look at the euro qualification group we where in, that was one hell of a tough group compared to the one we are in and we made it

i’m mainly concerned about defenders and strikers. we have plenty of experienced young defenders at our dispose but DM selects crappy ones or out of shape ones. let go of viera the guy is 31 in 2 years he will be 33, let him go in honor unlike what he did to thuram and makelele. strikers, benz our future striker isn’t cutting it for les blues, in fact if you look at his goals have been from small team or unimportant friendly games, we are severely lacking in strikers, 2 years from now henry, govou and anelka we be gone (saha is gone already), DM needs to find strikers quick, we the only european nation out of the big 4 league without major recognized young striker, jeremy menze, Julien QUERCIA, are strikers DM can call up for national duty

his selection needs to objective, can’t he see the obvious that some players suck

I’ve seen Menez in a couple of games for Roma and he’s been awesome. Not sure where he’d fit into the current lineup, though.

Malouda has also been surprisingly strong for Chelsea this year, with another goal today. I think that Scolari has been really good for both Malouda and Anelka, and maybe we shouldn’t write either of them off just yet.

Frace Main problem is Diffence. we need 4 strong diffender. like Blank Desaly Thuram Laizarazu and we need a Zidan. We have gourcuff. he will be next zidane. i hope that.PlZ find some good deffender……….no more BUMSONG.i think Mandanda is like Lama.we need more than LAMA. Lama mean sad Drama 1993 against Bulgaria. Also Zinnola was culprite for that that match. So plzzz find a good keeper and deffender. The Difference between Platini era and zidan era is Zidans time France has good keeper and Deffender and platiini time we did not have quality deffender.

All 3 of them are good players. Frey and Mexes haven’t taken their chances with France as well as they would have wanted, but your setup could work, with some luck.
