Choose your 23 for the world cup

[Nanbawan]

No....

Hey, I haven't answered yet ! Okay, realistically no...:D

Maybe if Malouda is seriously injured and Ray absolutely want a left footed left mid, then maybe perhaps cos lately Monterubio has been better than Rothen even if the latter would still be considered as a more valuable asset.

[Nanbawan]

this is MY list of 23...not who I think will probably end up going.

GK

Coupet, Barthez, Landreau

Defenders

Thuram, Abidal, Gallas, Evra, Sagnol, Clerc, Sylvestre

Midfielders

Zidane, Vieira, Makelele, Ribery, Micoud, Malouda, Giuly, Dhorasso,

Forwards

Henry, Anelka, Trezeguet, Cissé, Wiltord

Actually, mine would be pretty close to yours.

GK : Frey or Itandje instead of Landreau

DEF : Réveillère instead of Clerc, maybe Méxès or Givet for Sylvestre (even if he's not supposed to play in central defense anymore).

MID : Pires for Micoud.

FW : Maybe Saha for Cissé.

Je me mouille pas trop...;)

[guignol]

GK : Frey or Itandje instead of Landreau i agree, perhaps we all do, but RD doesn't :rolleyes:

landreau is one of the last guys i'd have on the team, i believe he's locker room poison. he's poor in the air, has no kicking game, isn't great at positioning himself or his defense. the only thing he does well is block penalties... hmmmm, maybe he's a good 3rd keeper, just bring him on at 119'...

DEF : Réveillère instead of Clerc, maybe Méxès or Givet for Sylvestre (even if he's not supposed to play in central defense anymore).clerc's not going, that's clear, but RVR's recent work hasn't won him a spot either. he'll have to get time in a couple of friendlies and impress to stick.

MID : Pires for Micoud.

FW : Maybe Saha for Cissé.i would have said the same thing until a) pirès looked as transparent as a windex ad against villareal and b) cissé scored a double against the hammers.

the results of an équipe poll on the subject...

I'm surprised Silvestre would get the nod over Givet myself.

But I suppose of you look rationally at what Ray would pick.

The people have spoken about Ribery though, drop Vikash and the problem is solved.

As for the strikers, either Saha or Cisse will get called up. Personally I would like both to support Henry and Trez. But it ain't gonna happen.

ihope watch new name have dream like franch 98 ..i haven't seen sagnol but once for BM, but in blue he's served up some sweet ones... hey, i'm a RVR fan, and i don't like sagnol as a person, but on the field i have to be convinced. he's great.

chimbonda has been playing great for wigan... but for a big european team, he wouldn't even have had a chance to play, so...

mexès will likely get his chance in the last friendlies. as for ribery, chimbonda, clerc, that's our bright future, but trez and nino are NOW, and i think they're gonna kick some serious butt.

i just hope the real ZZ shows up, he hasn't looked crisp for so long...

[Merengue]

OK this is the 23 I would select not what I feel Domenech will do (I know he won't pick Micoud for example):

GK
Coupet
Barthez
Landreau

DEF
Sagnol
Thuram
Gallas
Abidal
Reveillere
Mexes
Givet
Silvestre

MF
Zidane
Makelele
Vieira
Micoud
Ribery
Dacourt
Wiltord
Malouda

FW
Henry
Trezeguet
Anelka
Saha

Except for Micoud, who Domenech won't pick as he'll go for Dhorasoo instead, I suppose the rest of the 23 I picked have a legit chance of making Domenech's final roster.

[SMSM]

guignol man your right ..maybe chmbonda dont have many match in uero like sagnol ..

anyawy i hope ribry take he chance play all france match with zizo ..

[awmhamodat]

I have seen ribery play one game , which is the french cup final against psg which they lost.Is that his level or did he have a bad game that day??

Then you never saw his goal against Nantes.

Personally, I'm excited by the prospect of Boumsong alongside Vieira :D

[ForeverRed]

Why wouldn't Micoud be picked? He's a world class midfielder who has been vital for Bremen ever since he got there. He has prove himself in Europe as well.

[SMSM]

he take he chance 2002 ..when france miss zizio he play very bad ..because that many fan dont like him or dont trust him ..

[Breakwood]

Because Domenech hates him.
