That seems realistic. You have 6 Lyon players there and since Domenetch is ex Lyonese I have no doubt he will take as many Lyon players as possible. You have to remember that its not the best possible 23 who are going but the 23 who the manager wants. Giuly deserves to go ahead of guys like Dhorasso and Diarra but they will probably get picked over him for different reasons of course.

Giuly deserves to go ahead of guys like Dhorasso and Diarra but they will probably get picked over him for different reasons of course.yes, i picked the ones who look the most likely to go. but they also represent my opinion that it's too late to do much tinkering.

everyone i picked in the back has had multiple callups and have played some quality matches in blue recently, like the pleasant surprise from silvestre.

ribery may deserve to go more than dhorasoo based on recent form, but it's clear raymond likes vikash; he was a real surprise pick from the start, so his being there doesn't follow conventional logic. micoud over ribery is for maturity, diarra is there instead of giuly because the 7 picked need to be balanced from front to back.

6 forwards may be a lot, and you could even call malouda one, but the three lyonnais here are not pure front men (malouda can even fill in at the back) and versatility is important when you're picking a group that will play lots of matches in a short space of time.

[SportBoy333]

Evra, Mexes, Clerc and Boumsong will not get picked. Thats my prediction.

[gazzad_5]

zidane is the 1st midfielder on everybodys list lol :D

Best post ever.

Did you just google all them names? Most of them are out of position or so far beyond the realms of possiblity its unture.

Btw: Plasil, despite being a midfielder will be in Germany in the summer. But for the Czech Republic.

[Nanbawan]

Best post ever.



Don't be harsh. ;) In his defense, it's a good idea for a thread.


I'm very Good Samaritan lately...Must be the Spring, flower fragrance in the air, buds and girls blossoming alike...*hem* :o

[Breakwood]

zidane is the 1st midfielder on everybodys list lol :D

Your point? If Zizou was any other nationality he would be the first midfielder on their squad aswell.

Funny stuff.

I'm sure Raymundo has tried to call up Plasil and Wayne Rooney before.....

[guignol]

Evra, Mexes, Clerc and Boumsong will not get picked. Thats my prediction.i'd like to agree, and do except for boumsong. the fact he wasn't thrown overboard 6 months ago bodes ill!

[gazzad_5]

Your point?
the guy is a legend, and the respect he gets is unblievable, love the guy..
