France

Just go for it

   

Raymond Domenech is being bullish in the build up to tonight’s quarterfinal with Brazil in Frankfurt.

To him, only winning the World Cup will represent success in Germany for this particular French squad.
‘I am surprised to hear people say that if we lose to Brazil, France has had a good World Cup, I think the opposite’ he’s quoted as saying.

He goes on, ‘Brazil have been considered favourites for 40 years but people have been writing us off as underdogs for 90 years.’
That’s not a bad thing tonight, the pressure will be on Brazil to play Joga Bonita, to step up their game and France can exploit that if they come with the right game plan and everyone switched on like the Spain game.

I don’t expext many changes to the lineup for France this evening, Ribery must have cemented his position in the team.
Brazil are odds on favourites to win, France are 7-2 and if I was betting that’s where my money would be going, France to win 3-2.

    Chriso, is better you do not bet, because you will lose your money. :)

  • Jono

    Brazil has been consistent the entire world cup, while France has been up and down.

    Brazil will win either 2-0 or 2-1!

  • Rafael

    France may win, but the results i doubtly is going to be 3-2

  • Lothar Matheus

    1st half over…
    Shame, France should have been ahead and Brazil should be playing with 10 man.

    Last man or not that challenge on Viera deserved a red card…
    1st. because it was a challenge from behind
    2nd. because it was reckless chellenge too.

    Good luck to France
    from a german fan

  • Rafael

    See? 13 minutes of the second half. 1×0 France. Still far from 3×2

  • Lothar Matheus

    keep it up France :)

    well done so far

    it could have been 2-0

  • Rafael

    Well, the bookmakers are very happy with this result.

  • John Watson

    The only reason france won, is by having so many africans on the team. they never would have won with those little french bastards. just like WW2, they would be speaking F-ing german if someone didn’t save their tight pompous french asses. Hey Pepe Le Pew, kiss my red white and blue ass.

  • jacinthe_martin

    well done france!!!!!! you beat brazil!!!!!! YAY!!!!

  • Caesar Julius

    SUPERRRRRRRRR ZIZOUUUUUUUU !!!!!!

    Many congratulations dear cousin french, you make a BEAUTIFUL match against Brazil, a few asleep, but with Ronaldo than TRY more times to CHEAT with FAKE penalty kick in the box area.

    Thanx to french media, the only media than write good thing about Italy after our matches. Is really true, Italie and France are really cousin. And now, Italie must win against Germany, and France must win against Portugal, and see u to the grand final !

    VIVE LA FRANCE ET L’ITALIE !!!!

  • italian

    What a great game by the french team. Congrats. Ronaldinho….joga bonito….Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane is the man, a few commercials a lot of heart and skill.

  • D10S

    Keep it up france, hopefully you will get revenge for Argentina against germany, kick these suckas out!

  • reyna

    THATS THE WAY LES BLEUS!!!! ALLEZ ALLEZ zizou is the man.

  • fernando

    Congratulations, now France is a taboo to Brazil.
    That bunch of whores deserve end of career. Scolari is much better than Parreira.

  • Jonathan

    WERE ARE THE BRAZILIANS NOW!!!!!!!!!

  • rihas

    “John Watson” a total loser. brasil lose-3 times france win-3 times,get over wth. any teams who underestimated france for being to old to play deserved to lose from the beginning. a great day for zidane-henry, congrazt france!

  • Caesar Julius

    Fernando do u know why Parreira and not Scolari? Scolari is a great for me.

  • http://france.worldcupblog.org Antoine

    John Watson no offense but the Americans would be under British rule it is wasn’t for France helping them out financially and with thier at the time massive army check the history books anyways to get that out of the way AWESOME JOB France right now i am so happy of have been born in Le Mans, France VIVE LES BLEUS!!!!!!!! and for the Italiens thanks for backing us and you guys did a great job your selves i send the best of wishes and looks like Chriso has some money to collect here lol :)

  • jihae

    the game was terrific! france did their best! :) I hope to see france team in last game.

  • Bobbio

    Yeah John Watson! Kiss La Fayette’s red white and blue ass!

  • Chriso

    Don’t mind losing a little money when a team plays a quality game like that.

  • quahogian

    I am just glad that the game was interesting. It is one of the few matches this WC that I see a team deserving their win.

  • Bell

    If France plays their best they should be able to win the Cup. It would be nice to see Zidane go out on top.

  • http://www.intairnet.co.uk jack

    John Watson, what you call “africans” actually come from the french west indies and they’re all french through and through and i could quote Thuram who “is french and proud of it!”

    The best team won tonite…now Portugal will be tougher!

  • http://www.ifunbet.com Tascien

    Good to see that the Ref from Spain did not take his revenge against France. Infact, it was almost perfect officiating… Except… the Yellow Card to Thuram. It could cost him!!!

    SURELY THURAM DID NOT TOUCH RONALDO? DID HE?

  • Scorpiio

    VIVA LA FRANCE…
    ZIDANE IS THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!

  • Bell

    Zidane was clearly the best player on the field today.

  • http://france.worldcupblog.org Antoine

    nope Thuram didn’t lay a toe on Ronaldo just another famous dive made in the world cup :s

  • Arsenal Forever!!

    Ronaldo dove!!! Thuram didn’t even touch him and he cost him a yellow card….what a scum!

  • VIVE LA FRANCE

    khbilbilbl

  • Ana

    What a fantastic game France a big congratulations!!!!!! Nothing against Brazil (I like them too even if they did beat Australia) but you guys were just great. I am for you all the way keep up the great soccer you diplayed today.

  • yep!

    It was truly a masterpiece. Great football game, great officiating. Congrat to France and les bleus! Zidane plays better everygame, and I expect him to play even better against portugal! He was amazing!

    to John Watson: Do not ever forget why you have a 4th of july, you should display a french flag along yours on that particular day! Anyway Happy 4th…
