Is Ribery the ANSWER???
Judging from Ribery's first (although brief) performance against Mexico, he may be the spark in France's attack to reignite some creativity for the team.
France's movement and style going forward has been STALE for too long. With Sagnol and Abidal sticking to their current wingback postions and someone other than Cisse partnering up front France may be able to get the momentum it needs to start scoring goals again.
Ribery was the most dangerous attacker on the field and had he played in the first half along side Zidane, Vieira and Trezeguet things could have been pretty exciting.
If France insists on playing with 2 defensive mids then its essential to bring something extra to the attacking formation or else France will continue to struggle against teams that are content to sit back and absorb the pressure and then counter-attack.

Re: Is Ribery the ANSWER???
Things seem to continue to point to Yes. I think Domenech is coming around too. Not putting Vikash in for Zidane was huge.

Dunno, Let's say I'm sure some of the other good French managers could have made a better job...Anyway, I think he's making a decent preparation so far for les Bleus and he's smart to understand that this was one of the main reasons of our past failures.
As I already said, there's nothing I want more than feeling like an idiot if Ray finally wins the trophy !

Re: Is Ribery the ANSWER???
I hate to say but I think France may be a more effective and lively side with Ribery in for Zidane. The guy has huge potential.
But hopefully Zidane will give us something else to remember him by in his last Major International Tournament
