Call Ups for France vs. Ireland

So Viera got left out. Big deal. He comes off the bench at Inter. Despite his lack of form recently he still thinks he’s better than anyone France can field. In terms of experience sure but I’d rather take my chances with Lass & an in form Diaby.

5 defensive mid and forwards, 1 natural winger and play maker.

why does nasri never got called up? even before the brokenleg-era? why????
???? y

welcome back gourcufffffffffffff!!!!!!!!11 we need him for this match and toulalan is good as well, at least we got 2 stable consistent plaeyrs

ribery needto recover

Interesting Govou stats. He has done pretty well – that’s several goals for a winger. His international career looks pretty solid based on those numbers.

The team line-up has been stable in the recent World Cup Qualifiers. I don’t see Vieira displacing L. Diarra or Toulalan. Vieira will have to reprise his substitute’s from the 1998 Final if he makes the squad, and if France can get past Ireland!

hey i’m sure most of you are unhappy with the coaching situation most people are if you want heres a petition i’m trying to get started http://www.petitiononline.com/france10/petition.html
sign and spread if you want.

No Nasri is evident since he has not had regular football since the beginning of the season. Interesting stats on Govou…I still have trouble seeing him as a full international.

My thoughts on the call ups – http://thebeantownfrog.blogspot.com/2009/11/france-v-ireland-world-cup-qualifiers.html

Cissokho is very talented, but I still believe that Domenech is being very ignorant (as usual). Trying out new players is good….but this is do or die……….we need EXPERIENCE for these games.(TREZEGUET & VIERA both willing and able). So frustrating, I’ve lost faith.

In next world cup can you put France in this group.

1. France
2. Malta
3. Lichtenstein
4. Andorra
5. Faroe Islands
6. San Marino
7. Vatican
We might have omit the Vatican, there might be a mircle and France will end up second and we have through all this french wining again.

@ john
replace vatican with luxembourg

i would not be suprise if the astrologer deploy a 1-4-1-4

———mandanda———

govou-henry–gignac-anelka

Michel, I’m not sure of that, Domenech will probably do the usual 4-4-2……but we most certainly need to play defensively the first game at Ireland.

Peadir here from ireland
We’re gonna beat yis next saturday 2 0.

As I put on my website, I think that Domenech is finally making Sissoko a permanent player on the French squad. He is the perfect replacement for Patrick Vieira. I wrote a little on my blog about it.

I wonder what Domenech thinks about his 3 keepers conceding 12 goals in one match today. We can all start to pray 6 days in advance

Always hatin on Govou

demenech needs to be fired as soon as possible we are going no were with that loser. the squad is bad i dont see nasri the best guy the strikers need help we need expirence have henry and trezeget start then have cisse and anelka back them up off the bench makelele is old but he is a staight beast both diarra’s are weak. i know france is going to lose big time

I AM SO NERVOUS!

With that line-up of players it’s amazing how much people here doubt France. I guess this coach must have really made a mess of things cause with the players France can chose from they should be able to wipe the floor with Ireland. Trezeguet being left out when available is a complete mystery to me. Especially if you’re already missing Ribery.

again i’m puting this out there if you want to see domenech go the least you can do is try to do something, agreed its not like being the guy who can directly fire him but sign the petition and atleast you’ve done the most possible, then send it to avery one you know the more the better http://www.petitiononline.com/france10/petition.html

MODERATORS: PLEASE DELETE SABBATH DAY’S RACIST POST!

Inara, Diaby is injured, he hasn’t been called up (or rather, he’s been de-selected).

Vieira has recently started a couple of Inter games (like the one v. Roma yesterday) where’s he’s been decent enuf. But I’m glad Domenech hasn’t called him up. Why can’t Vieira get it into this thick skull that he’s just not any good anymore, he’s lost his legs, he’d be a detriment to the national team? Zidane, Thuram and Makelele have all grasped the realities of aging, why can’t Vieira?

Like everyone else I too am nervous. France has better players but the Irish have a team mentality and a better manager.

Trezeguet 6 goals
Benzema 3 goals
Anelka 3 goals
Gomis 5 goals
Govou 2 goals
Remy 6 goals
Henry 1 goal

So…yeah. Serie A must be inferior to the other leagues or something. Goals in that league mean less than Ligue 1 apparently.

As usual, Trap/Eire will pack it in and hope to score on the counter in both capitals. Which is why France needs to score first, and in Dublin. As much as Given bitched about seeding, this is the squad France likely would also have like to meet least (Scotland anyone?). And re Domenech: Quit your crying for a bit. To now seek signatures for a no-confidence petition is pathetic. Really, how different would anyone’s 11 and 24 be any different right now? Mexes and Trez? OK, maybe, but there’s plenty of reasons to keep them off, too. France started the qualifiers poorly, but made it a contest. And I saw a team improve through the hiccups that are internationals. I’d just like to see some faith in les Bleus, in what is more than a decent squad.

But Michel-Olivier, good call: I’d sell nearly all my possessions to see that squad play together.

I love the Irish people, but … Merde! Allez!

remember how a strong France fared against scotland with Ribery and henry at his peak??this stale France will be puffed out by a better Ireland

Very true words from princedesparcs!

Jean-Michel, and he was on the bench for most of the first few games. Trez has 6 goals in 6 starts…4 sub appearances. And for France…well, his scoring rate is something punks like Anelka and Govou dream of. Benzema is overrated right now with his Real move, too.

But like Frey, he will not be playing for France anytime soon.

I say “pfft” to all this nonsense Alessio.Its simple for most people to see: Put the ball in air or somewhere in the box and the kid will score!! I’m surprised Benzema gets any playing time at all though. I suppose Raul needs rest more often and Van Nistelroy is slowly coming back into the squad from some sort of injury.

I’m from Ireland and obviously France have the far superior talented lineup but I’m getting more and more optimistic. I just think that Frances coach and therefore the squad mentality might be off and let Ireland in. But hey, if your attacking talent can click it’ll be extremely tough for Ireland.

Hey all, im a proud irish man and am convinced if we can nick a goal in Dublin and keep it tight in Paris for the first 20 mins – we’ll have an excellent chance of going through. We all know the French public are not Domenech’s biggest fans – so if France are not turning the screw in us within 20 mins the French crowd will rare up on the players – and I can see alot of the French players wilt if this happens – France are a fantastic team but under the stress (of not qualifiying) i can see many of theirplayers panic and this will play straight into our hands!!!

Anyway – lets hope there both good games and ireland fans get to sun bathe in South Africa next summer lol.

VIVA EIRE

I am so sad that france qualified for the world cup. All the romanians would wanted that ireland qualify. Hope that france will lose all games at the cup.

I am from Spain. Yesterday I saw the match and I was about to cry. Cry because Ireland deserved to be in the world cup.It is completely unfair. It is time to use tecnology in football fields.Platini go ut, bullshit. The best for Ireland, LOVE YOU.Hope these bastards have to play against Spain and we send them home 5-0.

France showed thier narrow behaviour.it is no in foot ball but in hockey wc qualifier it also showed such behaviour
