Some of the goals conceded by France so far has been his fault. Come on put in Lloris, or try to get Frey to unretire. Also I don't see how Raymond would stay on as coach but wouldn't be surprised if somehow he gets to keep his job. I mean bringing back Vieira was not a smart move and it almost costs us.

Where was Evra on the first goal? Funny you don't see him flat footed when playing for united, and the second goal seemed like a very bad marking by Diarra! Taking nothing away from Romania they must have played well. However the talent of Les Bleus will prove that this team has great potential, and the coach is not entirely to blame for everything. The captain of the teams responsibility is not only to play, but to inspire his team mates, forget about the coach, these are highly paid pros that can manage themselves.

(Was Henry technically playing on the left wing again? That's what it looked like. I sure liked him better there than as a lone striker the fist half hour or so. I know he hates it, but he should take it for the team.) Big Benz has been pretty much invisible lately. I'm not sure he links up well with Gourcuff, which would be a shame.

Aargh aaight he has to go now like Louis XVI he is old now go retire somewhere in a elderlyhome or something. Gourcuff, Ribéry and Toulalan where the only players who did something (good) and boumsong and a diarra bahbahbah, sagna mandanda henry and benzema weren't having great game either but im very happy the good guys gourcuff and ribery scored especially superstrike of gourcuff. i think toulalan shud make a goal too, though he made some weird fouls but domenech, pleassssssse retire, dont hurt france anymore Lmao Domenech CANT stay, 4 points is not enough.

If Domenech stays i will seriously lose it. France have conceded 14 goals in the last 7 games. abysmal. they are not even ranked in the top 10 teams in the world anymore.

Wondering what his thoughts were on the Boumsong start and 90 minutes. Its interesting that Escallettes chose to point out Raymond’s “wisdom” for sticking with Gourcuff at the end of the article.
