Im surprised England has more shots on target than we do

"But de Darren Ambrose : centre de Whittingham mal repoussé par Badiane dans la surface qui redonne à un Anglais qui rate sa frappe mais ça revient dans les pieds d'Ambrose qui marque dans le but vide ! Angleterre 1 - 1 France 87' "


Fuque!!!

I've seen the game, a really good one imo. It's a bit disappointing to concede a goal that late in the game but the English deserved it after pulling out a very good second half.
1-1 is the logical result, there's still that away goal, a 0-0 would have been a bit unfair for us. The match in Nancy will be worth watching ...

I don't see FSC or TV5 (long shot) airing the second leg of the U21 playoff.

Anyone know where to catch it or if hopefully FSC can last minute throw it on their schedule?

[fishbiproduct]

How did I miss this???
U21 France - England return game was today
and I completely forgot about it...Duh!

France 2 - 1 England

Woo-hoo! (http://www.uefa.com/competitions/Under21/FixturesResults/Round=2155/match=82015/Report=RP.html)

[Rima067]

It didn't seem to be aired anywhere on tv in the US. I'm actually downloading it now... have been for the past 6 hours!

Ribery MOTM AGAIN.

I started downloading an hour ago.

first-half (http://www.torrentbox.com/torrents-details.php?id=22356)

second-half (http://www.torrentbox.com/torrents-details.php?id=22372)

First-half is "stuck" at 97% right now, no seeders
Second-half is moving slowly, it's at 92.3% but I
don't see any seeder.
Gotta go post on ftbz, I guess...


Edit:
I checked on ftbz, everybody is stuck right now. Seeder
lost connection, seems like. Let's be patient, it's worth
it ;)

Re-edit: seeder's back on. "The Force is strong with
these torrents" :D

[ilv2]

im gettin it too, about an hour away from finishing both, then i'll leave it on because i'm a good seeder :D

Ribery deserves the call up to the senior squad. He has been fantastic this year. If god forbid something happens to our number 10, this is the guy take his place. I mean, imagine Zidane gets a strained muscle for a couple of games?

Tun - Ben Arfa n'ira pas au Mondial (http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/16112005/53/tun-ben-arfa-n-ira-pas-au-mondial.html)

Smart move young man... Very smart move.

[lefutur]

It would be very good for Team France to start breaking in some of the very young talent such as Ribery, Ben Arfa, Benzema, and Nasri.

In four years time this could pay some very high dividends.

our attack looks very promising for the future

[Rima067]

Even Rene Girard (U21 coach) said Ribery deserves to be called up to the senior squad yesterday.

[weaponx]

Putain mais c'est clair et net, on enlève Govou et on met un joueur qui a faim comme Ribéry :)

[guignol]

Putain mais c'est clair et net, on enlève Govou et on met un joueur qui a faim comme Ribéry :)mais sydney pour avoir faim il a faim! qu'est-ce qu'il peut croquer des fois, c'est dingue! :p

[lefutur]

mais sydney pour avoir faim il a faim! qu'est-ce qu'il peut croquer des fois, c'est dingue! :p

alors joue le a la place de Wiltord ou Dhorasoo comme remplacent, juste por voir ce qu'il peut faire. J'ai envie de voir!

[Rima067]

Can I be honest. With everyway we've played, I don't see us getting past the qf even if we're lucky.

We don't even seem to have the team spirit or everyone hungry for this and fighting for each other and we only show a hint of it when only Zidane is around?

We can keep pinning our hopes on the attack, and well, where did that get us in the Euro's? Trez never got the ball, the only goal he scored was all his own doing (v Switzerland after the 60th min). The only other ball he ever got was in the first 20 mins v England where he hit his header just high from a cross. Isn't it sad I remember "all" of Trez's chances? No one could even cross the ball properly, the guy is 6'3, he couldn't reach the "crosses" w/ his 6'3 frame and superb jumping to save his life.


I don't know, of course, so much can change, it's 7 months away. But, as it stands this is how I feel and it's a touch frustrating and doom-feeling.

Of course, a year and a half ago we thought so much can change in 2 years, and 15 months later, we're in the exact same place...

And Domenech visible attitude does not help...He seems so delusional, my sincere hope is that's only a facade... :o
