the squad for argentina

[guignol]

and this edition's surprise is a big one... Cédric Carrasso! well deserved if you've seen him play lately.

GARDIENS : Steve Mandanda, Hugo Lloris, Cédric Carrasso

less deserved is boumsong being left off for escudé... not so much a knock on julien, but JAB has been just sooo good of late. you can't tell me ALL of these are better than he is:

DÉFENSEURS : Eric Abidal, Gaël Clichy, Julien Escudé, Rod Fanni, William Gallas, Philippe Mexès, Bacary Sagna, Sébastien Squillaci.

by mifdfielders they mean holding MF's. three of these means we're likely to see 2 start. take that larqué!

MILIEUX DE TERRAIN : Alou Diarra, Lassana Diarra, Jérémy Toulalan.

and all the rest are called strikers:

ATTAQUANTS : Nicolas Anelka, Karim Benzema, Jimmy Briand, Yoann Gourcuff, Thierry Henry, Samir Nasri, Franck Ribéry

Carrasso :cool:
Escude et Squillaci :cool:
L.Diarra :confused: - What has he done to deserve a call-up? Signing for Real Madrid ?

[Catel]

No Cheyrou :( Domenech démission :mad:

[lefutur]

L.Diarra :confused: - What has he done to deserve a call-up? Signing for Real Madrid ?

Domenech has always had a man crush on lassana. i dont understand it either...maybe because he looks a lot like makelele?

I'm surprised that Briand is on the list. Why not Hoarau or Gignac??

(im not gonna even mention that guy who plays in Italy)

Let's be cool...Let's be calm...Let's be zen...:cool:

And why no Douchez...BTW :confused:

[lefutur]

^^ haha, don't take it personally. i'm sure they're very good players but i don't watch Rennes often enough to know, personally. :p

[zizouForlife]

Hoarau or Gignac

while these two possess great potential, suggesting they be included in this squad and IN THIS GAME is too much for them. they barely got experience in ligue 1 let alone entrust them to play against argentina. lets wait and see if they really are national team material.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

Hey yea don't mind StarrMatthieu, just about everything he posts gives you the impression he's yelling at you :) :p. I'm a little surprised at the Gignac snub, in favor of Briand, but yea maybe Argentina isn't the game for him. What I am pleased to see though, is the omission of Malouda, who has been absolute trash lately. I thought he was just gonna come on name alone.

[zizouForlife]

ever since joining chelsea he hasn't been the same

[guignol]

I'm surprised that Briand is on the list. Why not Hoarau or Gignac?? (im not gonna even mention that guy who plays in Italy)hear hear!

trez is still injured, but both hoareau and gignac are more deserving than briand.

[lefutur]

hear hear!

trez is still injured, but both hoareau and gignac are more deserving than briand.

and what about Savidan? He performed well in my opinion last time. If one of those bicycle kicks had gone in, forget about it, he would have been a regular in the squad.

The question is who to put up front since it will most likely be a 4-2-3-1 formation. Benz, Henry, or Anelka. There are valid arguments for all three...

[guignol]

this is an important match to give players a high quality test. and since it's not coming on a planned NT break but sandwiched between two league weekends we will probably see lots of players for one half each. something like this;

in one:

Lloris

Fanni - Escudé - Squillaci - Abidal

Toulalan - L. Diarra

Ribéry - Gourcuff- Briand

Benzema



in the other:

Mandanda

Clichy - Gallas - Mexès - Sagna

L. Diarra - A. Diarra

Nasri - Gourcuff - Henry

Anelka

[StarrMatthieu]

t's be zen...:cool:

LOL i know i use the caps alot SORRY GUYS


wow rennes lost to Le Havre today!
did you see the game against Le havre douchez isn't too bad still all joking aside i think Toulouse won Against Lemans and of course Andre-pierre Gignac got a goal! too bad jimmy briand did scorce today against Le Havre!

[guignol]

what's the beef about rennes starr?

first of all it's a nice little town... and any team that has jerome leroy on it you can't help but like!

YouTube - But Gignac TFC 2-0 Le Mans

[AfrcnHrbMan]

Beautifully taken strike, and nice work in the corner to start that all up. Just good work by him all around. If he keeps up like this we will seen him soon enough.

[guignol]

boumsong called up after all. after the match he put in against nice it's some nice icing on the cake.
