[Ballon d'or Identity]

I'm sorry about what i'm going to say but i'll let it out :

F***********ck off Domenech, from the bottom of my heart.
First Sylvestre ( France lethal weapon...against itself) and now the chocker in chief Govou, mister it takes 10 clear chances to score a goal.

I'll stop here cause i feel i'm going to say things i don't want to say.

I agree Govou isn't exactly the best choice, why must Domenech be such a pigheaded fool?

this is just a copy of what i posted in the OL in germany thread, but it's better off here, so with your kind permission i'll permit myself a multiple.

i can't say i'm that displeased, i have a higher opinion of sid than most. the only real beef you can have about him is his horrendous finishing, but that's not his main line of goods.

what gets me is that he's more a wiltord bis than a replacement for cissé. really there was only one name on the list that made sense, and ray had already crossed it out with extreme prejudice: anelka.

the choice of govou might bode well. will ray finally abandon his 4-4-2 in a diamond? (sounds like an uptown train )... sure they haven't practised anything else, but what have they got to lose in terms of preparation at this point?

govou or wiltord on the right in a 4-3-3 (don't say 4-5-1, i"m talking about lyonnaising this team!) could bring about a sea change. just as the attack starts from the back, defense has to start from the front. with more help from the front, viera and maka might have the fighting chance to hold down the ground they clearly can't at present. zidane looks capable of doing this for 60', and ribéry would be great at it for the remaining 30'. neither trez nor henry have never been asked to do this in their careers, but the latter would be capable of an honorable effort if nino pulls his ear hard enough.

yes, govou may be a very poor kind of madeleine, but i feel life and hope springing from my cup of tea already!

What do you expect from that idiot to a coach?

Well, Govou is an understandable choice. And the good aspect about that decision is that he replaced a pure striker with a right wing midfielder. That increases the chance to see either Wiltord or Ribéry starting against Switzerland.

As I've always supported the idea France should play with wingers, I won't complain now about the choice of Govou. Granted I would have liked better Giuly, but I must have to accept the idea there may have been a risk to see him not fully fit for the game against Switzerland, considering he's currently in Australia.

Domenech is truely a nutless sap....

Giuly and Anelka arent on good terms with the manager so thats why Sidney was chosen instead. He has kept quiet while those other 2 guys have been critical of Raymond for not being initially selected.

Some of the points made in the article are valid, but otherwise most of it is absolute crap! Apparently this guy knows what's best, but then again who doesn't!
