Meitheisman Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 LLoris and Mandanda without a doubt. Who cares who the 3rd GK will be? Could be Carasso, Landreau or even Frey imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatski Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 True, doesn't really matter who else! Fun fact: Mandada's 19 year old bro is the DR Congo keeper, and his 16 year old bro keeps for France under-16s! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Rama Yade [French Sports Minister] has hinted that if Ribéry is implicated in any negative way in relation to this prostitute scandal he could be forcibly removed from the French squad or made unavailable.

fatski Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 What sort of formation can we expect from France? 4 at the back, 2DMs, Ribery and Gourcuff creating and two up front? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astafjevs Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 4-2-3-1, which is what they've been using for the past couple of years. Ribéry, Gourcuff and probably Henry all supporting Anelka/Benzema. I would think it depends how much Malouda's good form has impacted on Domenech's selection, because one of that four (I.E. Henry or Anelka/Benzema) will have to drop out for him.

fatski Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hate to say it, but I'd start Malouda above Henry on current form. I'm Domenech won't do that, but it seems logical... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, for those of you who didn't know on top of the most stubbornly ******** coach in the world we also have a minister who loves to speak before thinking and never does anything. Ribery is quite clearly implicated in a negative way, unless she sees going to whore houses as a positive thing... what is she going to do about it now? What a freaking idiot.

fatski Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Very interesting. That is quite a shock, I have to admit! Is that Domenech trying to prove he is 'strong'? Who is M'Vila and what does he do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yann M'Vila is a young defensive midfielder/box to box player, he looks a good prospect. He's had a great season at Rennes. Clownface doesn't need to prove anybody wrong because he doesn't listen anyway. I told you he was had to gauge because he's train of thought is off the scale. Moussa should be in the thirty man squad instead of Diaby, such a poor choice. The sooner that moron goes the better. A ce jour, quelle est votre confiance dans la capacité du sélectionneur de l'équipe de France, Raymond Domenech?Très confiant : 3,4% Assez confiant : 18,6% Peu confiant : 41% Pas confiant du tout : 37% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selleckta Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Not quite sure why he didn't just go with 3 keepers and get Benzema (or Nasri) in there, even if it's just for the 30 man squad. Yeah he's had a quiet season at Real, but isn't that even more reason why he'd be up for the WC? I have very little confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georginho_juventusygr Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/story/_/id/787392/ce/uk/?cc=5739&ver=global Laurent Blanc has informed Bordeaux that he wants to quit the club in order to become the new head coach of the French national side following the World Cup finals. Blanc earlier told his players of his decision to resign, and will now be confirmed as Raymond Domenech's successor as les Bleus boss if compensation is agreed between the French Football Federation and Bordeaux. Blanc was named Bordeaux manager in June 2007 and won the Coupe de la Ligue and the French title in his second season at the club, establishing an impressive reputation in the managerial world. This season, Blanc took Bordeaux to the quarter-finals of the Champions League but they lost to French rivals Lyon and also fell dramatically off the pace in Ligue 1, eventually finishing in sixth position, 14 points behind champions Marseille. Blanc captained France to World Cup glory in 1998, though he missed the final due to suspension, and has now signalled his determination to lead his country as head coach. Bordeaux are keen to resolve matters of compensation with the FFF but it appears Blanc will replace the unpopular Domenech, who took France to the 2006 World Cup final but presided over a disappointing Euro 2008 campaign.
