France are gaining momentum. They played very well against both the Faroes and Austria. Their attack-minded style is finally paying dividends. Gourcuff should be back. France will easily take care of business Honestly, why is everyone here so pessimistic? France are gaining momentum. They played very well against both the Faroes and Austria.

These are club stats but from their respective leagues. I don't think Champion's League is included. I saw that goal as well and I'm pretty sure he came in the 75th minute or so. Jean-Francois,

He does very well late in the game, VERY WELL. Where are you getting these stats from Jean-Michel? is this in their clubs? Speaking of clubs, all the clubs with French players are playing very well(except for the Real Madrid fiasco, not getting into details, well and the Marseille accident.) I seriously think France has the SKILL to win the world cup, but right now we have 11 players on the field not 11 TEAMMATES, and we have a Manager not a COACH. Trezeguet can really help us become a TEAM. Yes, I want Trezeguet on the team to come in on the 80th minute or so, He does it for Juve, and just last game he scored on like the 87th minute.

Thought I'd sprinkle that in. Of course France does not have the quality crossing game that Juventus enjoys with Diego, Cameronesi, ADP, Grosso, & Giovinco. Best healthy options now are probably Malouda, Gourcuff, & Henry. Current Striker Goal Totals:
