I would be more interested in a National team with at least 1/3 of the starters playing for French clubs. I get so exited when guys like Rothen, Carriere, Govou, Cisse, Mexes, Pedretti, Boumsong or Giuly play.

Have you seen the "french" French team put together by L'Equipe Magazine based on the coaches' vote? Not a bad looking team although no player playing in French division 1 is currently on par with Henry & Trezeguet (forwards) and Zidane/Pires (midlfield). But otherwise Giuly, Mexes, Boumsong, Pedreti, Govou are quality.

No I haven't seen that team. Do you have a link or can you tell us who was named to this team?

I think we'll see some of the doemstically based players in this summer's Confederations Cup. Santini would be wise to blood a few new names alongside his more experienced players. One has to wonder how much longer Desailly, Lizarazu, Petit, etc will remain with les Bleus.
