Let's get a performance from the guys in this game huh?



Henry and Vieira and training again, We should see them against Holland tomorrow. Also apparently Ray is toying with the idea of making a switch at the wingback positions. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Clerc and Evra in there to see what they can do. I really doubt they could cost us the game so why not.

From the Oranje side, it seems that Robin Van Persie is fully fit, and Robben might be able to play as well.

Allonssssssss-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

If what I'm hearing is true - they'll be playing in the xmas tree formation
4-3-2-1 with ribery as the playmaker.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

Where'd you hear that from? What would that look like?

Assuming that Pat and Titi return:

-------------Coupet-------------

-----Clerc Thuram Gallas Evra----

-------------Keke----------------
-------Vieira Ribery---------

Henry---------------------Malouda
------------Benzema--------------??

Good news les bleus managed to score loads of goals against some neighborhood kids in a warm up to the Holland match :D

I'm hearing 4-2-3-1 with Ribéry as the playmaker, although for all we know, Domenech may line up a 4-6-0 (kidding).

My girlfriend's BFF is Dutch and I'll be if they beat us, the wager I made with her will mean I'll be a walking embarrassment. Then again, I likely am already. :D

[sportscribe]

Actually, Domenech is going with the same old 4-2-2-2 France cannot score in.

-------------Coupet--------------

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

-----------Toulalan--Maka-----------

Ribery---------------------------Malouda

------------Anelka--Henry--------------

nice defending Malouda.

[Kazuma]

Malouda is not fit to wear the shirt. Awful.

What is the alignment? Is Henry up front by himself with Ribery behind him?

Yes. And Govou on the right, Malouda left. Evra instead of Abidal. Rest, the same.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

This is unbelievable. two good chances for Govou. Ribery with the best chance to score of the match and he blows it. Now Henry in the 6 yard box. Will the ball ever go in?

[Buddha]

France should be able to take apart the Dutch defense. I don't care that they beat Italy, this Dutch defense is very vulnerable. ATTACK!

[Kazuma]

Dear Raymond,

The Dutch no longer have Jaap Stam. Their defense is utter crap. The best thing to do is attack! The defense on the Dutch side is crap. Take note.

What's the french word for unlucky?
