And Trez?? I'd replace Anelka with Trez and throw Viera back with Maka.
Trez is fit for this match if I'm not mistaken. Its just that he couldnt sit in a plane for a long time thats why he couldnt travel to Martinique.

See my edit ;)

yeah, but why couldn't he sit in a plane for long periods of time? Does he have hemmorhoids????!

It was linked to his most recent injury.

I think our National Team is made of tin..... So so injury prone. God I hope MOST of our players are healthy come June.

The German federation apparently sent two agents to "escort" the NT due to the recent violence in France...no comment.

Givet was starting the game v Costa Rica while Ismael was not even in the squad.

That’s pretty hard to understand.

Im a huge Givet fan so of course I loved it. :-) I seriously think the lad is under rated. Its a stretch to say Ismael is that much better. I think Givet is slightly better.

il m'embete, ce maillot... :mad: rien a dire, c'est laid.


bref, contre l'allemande, ce sera un match nul.

[lefutur]

L'Equipe seems to think that Henry will come out at one point (since he played all 90 mins vs CR) and leave his spot for Trezeguet. So this would mean Anelka and Trez could partner up at one point.

Which I'd actually like to see. Maybe we don't need to play Henry for this match?

Ummmmmmmmm, why not? But I'd like to see all four strikers.

Trez and herny connections hasnt worked 2002 wc nor in euro 04. henry is better than trez and trez has a horrible attitude so i think he should be dropped to the bench for cisse or anleka.Barthez is better that coupet. and pires should be called up instead of malouda. and domenech needs to get his stuff straight with all this astrology crap. here is there best line up and the onlyway they can win the world cup:

GK:Barthez

RCB-Sagnol
CB- Thuram
LCB-Gallas

CDM-Makelele
CDM-Vieira

RWM-Pires
LWM-Rothen

Free Role- Zidane

F-Cisse/Anelka
F-Henry

The only way that a back 3 may work is if Viera and Maka play really defensive. And there is no way that Trez can sit the bench, have you seen his recent form for Juve???
Why isnt Giuly called up???? He is simply amazing. This might be the only thing I disagree with Domenech on, other than the selection of Malouda.

If Coupet plays well against Germany he will be in the lineup for the WC. Barthez doesnt seem as sharp lately and Coupet has overtaken him with his performances for both club and country.

Also dont be so quick to dismiss Trezeguet, he and Henry have the same number of goals for France but Trez has about 15 or so fewer caps. He's no slouch for Les Bleus. Plus we will probably get to see how he plays with Anelka this weekend. It should be interesting.

k i agree with droping rothen and switching pires to the left and putting giuly on the right but honestly trezeguet is awesome with juve thats y he gets called up to the national team but his partnership with hanry jsut doesnt work out + he has no pace compared to anelka and cisse. and yes maka and vieira wouldnt go mcuh farther thatn the center circle
