~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luyindula scores at 6', on a corner kick taken by Rothen

Henry misses ( :eek: ) a penalty kick at 18'

after 20', possession is 78% for France, 22% for Bosnia

[fishbiproduct]

The Bosnian team starts to get out of their own half.
After 30', possession is now 60% / 40%

Game being played at Rennes, by the way.

Grlic scores for Bosnia at 37', 1-1

[iougs]

Grlic, how do you pronounce that name ? :)

I hope Henry gets replaced at half-time.

I won't try...;)

It's half-time, now.
After scoring, Bosnia was the team on the attack and dominating.

About Henry: sure, he's out of shape, bring Cisse in...

(I have problem getting on the site, right now..."Busy"
signal keeps coming in...)

[Bosanac]

Music, Konjic and Blatnjak...not on the bench..they would have all started..but got injured.

We have Barbarez playing at central defence...he is really a central midfielder, sometimes even behind the striker, or a striker..and Bajic is playing for the first time in central defence..so really weird and difficult situation there.

Anyways..bad start for us...but we seemed to get better as it went on.

I am following both of these PBP's:

("Montreal United", L'Equipe's PBP is surprisingly not too bad,
today, updates every mn.)


I am also listening to RMC , but they mostly follow the olympic
games, right now...http://www.rmcinfo.fr/

Did you catch the Football365's guy comments on this?
In a nutshell, "they suck right now (the French team), so I'll talk
about something else..."
Not very professional, but cracked me up... :)

yeah ... looks like the guy is kinda bored ... I remember this type of comments during euro 04 as well, don't know if it is the same guy though.

From Football365:

"90' 2 minutes de temps additionnel...youpi!

91' Pour passer le temps, vous pouvez vous amuser à prononcer le nom du joueur rentrant"

The guy's a comedian...keeps us busy! :)

[iougs]

Finito ... 1-1

I am sure glad Cyprus and Faroe islands are in the qualifying group for wc 06 :)

[Bosanac]

WOOO!!

Well, pretty damn happy we got the draw against a great time like France.

You guys were the better team..but not by much I woudl say, we did pretty well... started off weak, but we came back nicley it seems.

And watch out for Hasagic..he will go to a big club in the next few years. He was looked at by major clubs last few years, but it didn't happen...he is at Gaziantepspor in Turkey now, not bad club as well. From what I hear though, he was fantastic in this game.

[fishbiproduct]

Huh? What? It's over?

From what I gather, in the second half, the French team
couldn't do much, the Bosnian team wouldn't do much
and it stays at 1-1

Back to sleep! :)

Here are the goals, and the PS for those that didn't see the game:
