Upcoming Games: Henry, Nasri and Wallpaper
I don’t know why I find this France Team wallpaper so entertaining. But I do. The French Football Federation website offers us four options. I’ve already used two. I am so juvenile. (The page is in French, but scroll down till you see names and it’s pretty self-explanatory from there.)
•Anelka, Diarra, Henry, Landreau, Thuram
•Abidal, Domenech, Ribery, Sagnol, Trezeguet
•Govou, Makelele, Saha, Vieira, Wiltord
•Cissé, Coupet, Escudé, Gallas, Malouda
A few other little tidbits:
Thierry Henry stopped by to to eat and hang out with the team this week. Because what else does he have to do? Domenech used the opportunity to stress the team’s solidarity, etc. , and to show that Henry’s presence “proves that this is a true team, a true group.” (No Coaching spats, Characters of a Pig or melons énormes here, folks! Nothing to see! Move along!)
And in an interesting poll on BrevesdeFoot, fully 67% on respondents expect Samir Nasri not just to play on Saturday, but to start. What do you think? Is this a vote of confidence for Nasri, or just frustration with the status quo? I mean, he’s good, but he’s nineteen! And this is a Euro qualifier. I’d expect Domenech to go with experience in this game and maybe give Nasri the nod in Wednesday’s friendly.
But then again, I’ve given up on trying to read Domenech’s mind.
