Costa Rica vs France ....Friendly [R]

[fishbiproduct]

-----------Coupet
Sagnol----Thuram----Gallas----Abidal

one thing's clear. CR's gonna be pretty lucky to score one against this. that's a killer back line!

That's not today's starting team, though.
It's supposed to be
Barthez
Gallas-Thuram-Givet-Abidal
Wiltord-Diarra-Dhorasoo-Malouda
Anelka-Henry

but still not official.

Hurray, we have pictures!

The Martinque crowd look in good form. Henry is captaining the team... :cool:

Anelka, Henry and Cisse upfront. :confused:

Oops no Cisse is on the bench.... :o

L-equipe has Thuram as captain.. :confused: I'm sure Henry was. Huh. Guess I was wrong, sorry.

Barthez

Sagnol---Givet---Thuram---Abidal

Wiltord--Dhorasoo---Diarra--Malouda

Henry---Anelka

[gaijin]

Yep, Thuram captains the side.

A minutes silence for the victims of the Venzeuelan plane crash...

Quite emotional...

[gaijin]

3" Fonseca shot, way over the bar...

France starting well, a nice shape and closing the Costa Rican's down making it nice and tight.

Finaly, video (http://live-foot.com/televisions/israel/livesports2)is on for me

[gaijin]

5" Diarra header off a Malouda header, just wide. Anelka could have followed up as it flew wide.

Damn. CR go down the other end and win a CK, really end to end...

[sl7vk]

I don't like this one bit. These challenges by Costa Rica seem awefully agricultural.... I hope nobody gets hurt today.

[gaijin]

8" Anelka with a great chance, jinks and checks out wide of the box inside, creates the space for the shot but its saved down low by the CR keeper.

[gaijin]

10" - Malouda with a searching cross for Henry, tries the first time volley from 25 yards out, but it goes wide...

[gaijin]

Crap. 0-1 CR

Saborio beats the offside trap to beat Barthez...

[sl7vk]

Abidal hurt again.... god damned it.

[gaijin]

14" Ugh. crap defending from Les Blues. Saborio beat a static french defence as he easily beat the offside trap, to finish past Barthez...

[gaijin]

Abidal hurt again.... god damned it.
I think Abidal's injury almost certainly cost France that goal...

Abidal was off the field, not replaced yet, when CR
scored...

[gaijin]

Réveillère on for Abidal who is injured (again!)
