Group G: France, Switzerland, South Korea, Togo

Allez les Bleus.

Thanks, I don't think they were that bad in the 1st half, at least showing movement and sometimes inspiration. They should learn how to score. The 2nd half worries me more : slow, no creativity, looked like the friendlies

Desperately mediocre game. Easily the worst one not involving us thus far. Switzerland looked tight & well organised but lacking a cutting edge up front, but yer Forgs were shocking. They played like strangers for most of the match. Vieira looks a pale shadow of the collosus who bestrode Highbury & Zidane still has great vision, but has lost that crucial yard from his legs.

Terence was pretty disappointing too; if he wants to save his best performances for God's own team tho that's more than fine by me!

Aye, look out Watford and Reading...

France were so so average. Fairplay to Switzerland who seemed to be attacking a bit more, but they were happy with a point so didn't want want to risk it that much.

You're welcome. Teams have started badly and done well (Argentina '90, Italy '82) in the past so there's hope for France yet. Fingers crossed anyway.

Does anyone have any idea why those Swiss players were booked?

Rolling over?

Rolling over?

That pun is a bit cheesey...

 

[Barney Rubble]

Zidane and Henry don't work in the same team. Just my two cents.

Worked good a few years back.

Don't Sheffield United deserve a hammering ?

France are crap, that's my two cents, i for one hope they get stuffed by Korea, who, when they found their rhythm, were capable of playing some nice football and scored two fine goals. Au Revoir les bleus

Don't want to support Scaly's argument but Henry failed once again.

I'll probably get a right hammering for what I'm about to say - but does anyone think that Scaly might be right? While I disagree that he has never performed against the best clubs, he hasn't seemed capable of producing the goods at international level in a long-time. At France 98, he looked very good as a young whippersnapper but since then his international performances have been more out of the Djibiril Cisse tetxtbook.

I might be wrong, but I think some of you might be more inclined to agree with Scaly's argument if it wasn't Scaly's argument

Let's be reasonable though, Argentina were crap all the way through Italia 90, their performance in the final was a fair reflection of their performance in the tournament. Still, I take your point.

The best example for me is 1954 where Hungary beat West germany 8-3 in the group stage only to succumb to them in the final, 3-2. LOL

Any team with that tool for a manager deserves nothing but!

I think he's bloody funny
